You spent years researching a branch of study. Time spent in academic pursuits honed your mind, allowing you to view the world through an intellectual lens afforded to few.
Perhaps you were only recently a student eager to learn outside the classroom, a teacher who retired but wasn’t ready to stop hands-on learning, or a discredited researcher expelled but driven to prove your theories. Regardless, your way has always been lit by your keen mind, and you retain a desire to know more.

Choose two from Arcana, History, Nature, or Religion.
Additional Proficiencies

A bottle of ink, a quill, a small knife, a reference book on a highly specific subject, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp.
Talent
You have spent time researching particular academic subjects at an institute of learning or under a knowledgeable teacher. Choose a talent from this list to represent your experience: Polyglot, Ritualist, or School Specialization.
Adventuring Motivation
Most scholars spend their lives cloistered within libraries, laboratories, and workshops, immersed in academia. When you begin your adventures, consider why your character chose—or was driven—to leave a traditional lifestyle and brave the unknown.
