You are a student of a prestigious academy. You studied the non-magical sciences from a young age and know how various sciences change the world around you. Perhaps you were a masterful chemist, or a doctor, or maybe something even more humble such as an engineer or an Architect. Either way you have the knowledge of your trade to help others or yourself.
- Skill Proficiencies: Insight, history
- Tool Proficiencies: Two types of artisan’s tools
- Languages: One of your choice
- Equipment: two sets of artisan’s tools (two of your choice), a diploma of academic success, a set of common Clothes, a set of traveler’s clothes, a stack of 20 slips of parchment, an ink and quill, and a pouch containing 15 gp
In your years of schooling, you learned more about the workings of the material world and how they can be used.
Your time in the academy made you spend an innumerable amount of hours researching your sciences. But among the endless work and research you discovered a strange scientific discovery, something capable of something great or terrible.
The nature of this discovery is only know by you unless specified
Discuss with your DM what the discovery would be.
