Gifts of the Universe
You've spent most of your life protecting the universe, and have received gifts of questionable value from past missions. Though you managed to sell a few of your discoveries and earn enough coin to buy proper adventuring gear, you have held onto an item that has great emotional value to you. Roll on the Signature Item table to see what you have, or choose an item from the table. Alternatively, you can roll from the trinket table.

Feature: Multiverse Knowledge
You were awake for your travels through the space between worlds. This experience has left you with knowledge beyond your understanding at this moment. Knowledge of the future, or the past. The DM may, during a long rest or other instance where you are unconscious, give you a vision. This vision may give you context for a current mystery, or knowledge of the distant or near future or past.
Spell List
Suggested Characteristics
Few cosmologists can resist the lure of an unexplored ruin or dungeon, particularly if such a site is in a distant universe. Some cosmologists keep the peace for wealth or fame, while others consider it their calling to keep the most powerful artifacts from falling into the wrong hands. Whatever their motivations, cosmologists combine the qualities of a folk hero, explorer, and blessed bounty hunter all in one.
