You have spent your life refining the magical abilities you were born with. This involved repeated practice and determination to make the best of what you started with. Did you do this privately, in a more school like environment or with a experienced teacher.
- Skill Proficiencies: Arcana and one other the DM accepts as reasonable.
- Languages: Two of your choice
- Equipment: a piece of equipment related to your race (such as a longsword for high elves, tinkers tools for rock gnomes or battle axe for dragonborn, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp.
Feature: Magic practicer
If your magic granted by your race lets you cast a spell or use a magical ability an amount of times per rest, this magic can be used once more per rest. If its a cantrip you also learn another cantrip that shares a spell list with the first cantrip.
this allows Dragonborns and Shifters to use their abilities more often.
