You are a youth studying at a prodigious arcane university. As such, your arcane knowledge is very little. But with a little study, a lot of practice, and a spoonful of effort, you'll be able to become a masterful spellcaster and the world with either revere you or fear you.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from among Animal Handling, History Medicine, or Nature
- Languages: Two of your choice
- Equipment: A bottle of black ink, a quill, a small knife, a set of student's robes, and a pouch containing 5 gp
Feature: Student Pass
Being a student of an arcane university, you will have near unlimited access to many of your school's amenities. These include (but are not limited to) cafeterias, libraries, workshops, practice halls, and much more. Although you are supervised (because why would someone let children with magic go unsupervised?) you will always have access to a staff member to help you along your journey through education.
