You’re the reason spellcasters distrust other spellcasters. Your occupation involves copying spells from the spellbooks of the best wizards and selling them to the highest bidder, whether it be a crime syndicate, another wizard or the wizard who owned the spell originally.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from among Arcana, History, Sleight of Hand, or Stealth.
- Tool Proficiencies: Choose one from among Disguise Kit, Forgery Kit, or Thieves' Tools.
- Languages: One common language of your choice.
- Equipment: Fifty feet of rope with a grappling hook, fine clothes, and a small pouch containing 30gp.
When you come across written spells, you can take time to create a non-magical Spell Scroll of the spell. The scroll can be used to copy the spell to other sources at a later date but cannot be used to produce the spell itself. The time taken to create the scroll is equal to 3 minutes times the spell level, (Cantrips take 2 minutes).
