The 'Indiana Jones' adventurer challenge

[larsdangly]

A character design challenge, with a twist!

Here are the constraints: take any standard RAW starting humanoid and advance using 10,000 XP, with the goal of maximizing the odds of survival in a solo, highly balanced adventure that includes a 1-2 significant challenges of the following types:

- Fights in which you must defeat the foe to succeed
- Violent confrontations you must survive, avoid or escape to succeed
- Traps that must be spotted and/or avoided
- Natural obstacles (cliffs, deep water, etc.) that must be passed
- Natural dangers (falling rocks, slippery log bridges, etc.) that must be survived and/or passed
- Travel through hostile landscape
- Puzzles that must be solved
- Social interactions that must be successfully managed

Of course the ideal design will be subjective, but consider that you will need the talents and stats to succeed at everything on the list above, assuming 3-5 die base challenges and competent foes.

No magic items other than a wizard's staff; no expensive mundane items that don't come straight off standard equipment lists (i.e., let's not bother with everyone assuming that all their gear is the most expensive fine weapons imaginable).

Go!
