Years of working in town as a mentor and counselor to others has given you the title of "educator". You are looked to as someone who can assess situations quickly, and can think on their feet to find the least objectionable outcome in a situation. A pedagogue is someone who has mastered the art of crafting solutions to problems make everyone (seemingly) happy.
- Skill Proficiencies: Performance, History
- Languages: Two of your choice
- Equipment: A bottle of black ink, a quill, a list of lectures you have given over the past year, a list of mandates from the Directorate, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 2 gp
Feature: Observable
You are cool under pressure when teaching in the presence of the government. When in the presence of the Directorate, roll a d20. If you roll a 1, you lose focus and are disadvantaged on Intelligence checks and saves for 24 hours. If you roll a 20, you are praised for your hard work and gain advantage on Intelligence checks and saves for 24 hours.
Suggested Characteristics
Pedagogues are typically charismatic and likable - while most comfortable teaching to a crowd, they thrive when they are able to problem solve and wrestle with reasoning, albeit only when they aren't busy with other tasks.
