Wayfarer

The Wayfarer is a survivor class in Divinity: Original Sin 2.

“

A survivalist and a practitioner of magic, the Wayfarer is hard to hit and even harder to evade.

„

— In-game description

Overview

The Wayfarer is a ranged survivalist preset that pairs Geomancer magic with Huntsman skills. Huntsman skills provide powerful ranged attacks that benefit from high ground bonuses, while Geomancer spells create oil surfaces and offer defensive utility. The preset favours Finesse and Intelligence, and starts with a crossbow.

Like all classes in Divinity: Original Sin 2, the Wayfarer is a starting preset rather than a permanent choice. Attribute and ability points can be allocated freely on each level-up, and full respecification is available from Act Two onward via the magic mirror aboard the Lady Vengeance. Enabling the Fort Joy Magic Mirror gift bag feature also makes a mirror available in Act One.

Of all origin characters, Ifan ben-Mezd uses this preset by default.
