Scholar

You have learned techniques that have been passed down along the generations. These crafts do not translate into mere skill but represent obscure branches of knowledge, forgotten by most and seeming almost magical to uneducated eyes.

Rhymes of Lore are short verses created by many cultures to help them remember significant facts from ancient history which might otherwise be lost. You can use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature (including yourself) within 30 feet of you who can hear and understand you. That creature gains one Lore die, a d6.

Once within the next minute, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after seeing the roll before deciding to use the Lore die, but must decide before the Loremaster says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Lore die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Lore die at a time.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Your Rhymes of Lore die changes when you reach certain levels in this calling. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, and a d10 at 10th level.

Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armour and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

Starting at 2nd level, you can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to make an Intelligence or Wisdom check, or to take the Help action.

Beginning at 2nd level, you can use healing techniques to treat the wounds of your allies during a short rest. Choose a number of friendly creatures (including yourself) who spent one or more Hit Dice at the end of the short rest, up to twice your proficiency bonus. Each of those creatures regains an extra 1d6 hit points for each Hit Die spent.

The extra hit points increase to 1d8 when you reach 9th level in this calling.

At 3rd level, choose any combination of two of your skill and tool proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.

At 10th level, you can choose another two proficiencies (in skills or with tools) to gain this benefit.

Also at 3rd level, you choose a tradition that determines the focus of your study. Choose Healing or Lore (both are detailed at the end of the calling description). The tradition you choose grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th level.

At 4th level, and again at 6th and 8th level, you can take a common or cultural virtue of your choice. You can take each virtue only once. As normal, you cannot increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

The die becomes a d8 at 5th level.

Beginning when you reach 5th level, you regain all of your expended uses of Rhymes of Lore when you finish a short or long rest.

At 6th level, you can take a common or cultural virtue of your choice. You can take each virtue only once. As normal, you cannot increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

At 7th level, you gain a feature granted by your Scholar Tradition feature.

At 8th level, you can take a common or cultural virtue of your choice. You can take each virtue only once. As normal, you cannot increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

The extra hit points increase to 1d8 when you reach 9th level in this calling.

At 10th level, you can choose another two proficiencies (in skills or with tools) to gain this benefit.

The die becomes a d10 at 10th level.

At 10th level, your Rhymes of Lore mastery is such that those who listen to them are bound to succeed. When a creature adds one of your Lore dice to its ability check, attack roll, or saving throw and the roll fails, the creature can keep the Lore die.
