The following class features pertain to the Explorer advanced class.
;Explorer Lore
An Explorer picks up stray and obscure facts during her adventures. Starting at level 1 the Explorer may make a special Explorer lore check with a bonus equal to her Explorer class level + her Intelligence modifier to see whether or not she knows some relevant knowledge about notable people, legendary items, or noteworthy places.

An Explorer lore check does not reveal the powers of a magic or psionic item but may give some hint as to its general function; an Explorer may not take 10 or take 20 on this check.

;Survivalist
At 1st level, the Explorer gains the bonus feat [[Track|Track]].
;Resolve
Beginning at 2nd level, an Explorer gains a morale bonus equal to one-half her Explorer class level (rounded down) on saving throws to resist fear effects and Intimidate checks.
;Skilled Searcher
When actively searching for secret doors or traps, an Explorer of 2nd level or higher gains a bonus on her Perception checks equal to one-half her Explorer class level (rounded down).
;Trap Sense
At 4th level, an Explorer gains an intuitive sense that alerts her to danger from traps, giving her an advantage bonus on Dexterity saves made to avoid traps. Also the Explorer can passively sense traps while moving.
These bonuses rise to 2 stacked Advantage bonuses at 7th level and 3 stacked Advantage bonuses at 10th level.
;Extra Step
An Explorer of 5th level or higher has +5 ft base range of movement now. Also the Explorer can now spend an Inertia point to ignore movement penalties because of environment.
At 10th level, the Explorer gains an additional +5ft.
;Bonus Feat
: At 6th level the Explore gets a free additional Bonus Feat of her choice as long as she is eligible.
;Explorer’s Evasion
If an Explorer of 8th level or higher is exposed to any effect that normally allows a character to attempt a Dexterity saving throw for half damage, the Explorer suffers no damage if she makes a successful saving throw. If the Explorer already has evasion, she gains improved evasion instead. Improved evasion works similar to evasion, except the Explorer suffers only half damage on a failed saving throw.
== Space Monkey ==
Astronauts? What civilization would be without them? They would be backwater, Tech Level 0 or worse -1. One of the defining moments and perhaps the most significant in terms of its neighbors is when a Civilization becomes space worthy. And this is achieved by Astronauts. As a Civilization continues its prestigious climb into space it begins to realize that some of its citizens are more comfortable in the harshness of space. Long veterans of space flight and adventuring usually start to personify space as a harsh mistress and other titles. Different Civilizations have different names for these people but the common name is Space Monkey.
Comfort and willingness to go into the dangerous far reaches of space isn't the only reason these Space Monkeys become valuable to there society.  Its there talent and knack for all things space. Its one thing to just survive in space, its another thing to thrive in it. When a Nation, or mega-corporation needs to tame a hostile world, moon or build a massive jump station in the deep reaches of space to help connect distance parts of a fast empire or trade route the Space Monkey is the perfect person for the job. Willing to take on almost any challenge for cash Space Monkey's are seen all over the galaxy making space a safer or at least easier place to live for the rest of civilization. Often caught on the fringe of space having to deal with problems with nothing but a Monkey Wrench (Possible where the name came from) they are great at adapting to the situation.
Choose Space Monkey if you want a Character who can survive and thrive in the far-flung reaches of space. Far from modern civilization, risking it all for adventure and/or money.
The fastest path into this advanced class is through the [[Future_Hero_Base_Class#Path_of_Constitution_.28Tough_Hero.29|Path of Constitution(Tough Hero)]]. though other paths are possible.
