-Like John Carter, Dorothy Gale, or Queequeg you come from another land, another planet, another universe, another time, another something. Now you're here and you've got to make the best of it, but sometimes being an outsider isn't all bad. Unlike most other classes, being an Outsider is most appropriate for new characters rather than being something you can pick up at any time, but if you can come up with a plausible reason for suddenly being a stranger in a strange land then by all means go for it.

 ^{{ra>two-hearts?48|Social}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Strange Looks:** Everyone who sees you knows you're different from them, maybe different from everybody they've ever known. Because you're relatively unique this tends to provoke curiosity rather than xenophobia, however. You can choose to catch the attention of any creature you want, even if you're in a large crowd. What they do with that attention will likely depend on the exact nature of their motivations and your appearance, but you can always get it. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**E.T. In Drag:** You can semi-hide your unusual appearance if you do not wish to draw too much unusual attention. You are only remarkably different when you choose to be. |

-^{{ra>two-hearts?48|Social}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Strange Tongue:** Out of necessity, you learned whatever the local common tongue is very quickly after your arrival but you also know a strange, foreign language from your distant home. You are (probably) the only creature in the entire campaign world that knows this language, unless you choose to teach it to others. With your constant, direct tutelage your home language is considered Common (and thus can be learned by a student for 5 Dosh, or 1 Dosh if your student knows the Polyglot ability from the Scholar class). Anybody else attempting to learn the language, even from one of your students, treats it as an Exotic language instead (impossible to learn for anybody except those who have the Polyglot ability). \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Cannot Be Temped:** If you use an Outsider keystone to temporarily gain this class, you do not gain this benefit. |
