Savant

An elf cleaned her glasses with the corner of her cloak as the dust settled. The emperor had paid her a large sum to locate this forgotten place, and after months of pouring over ancient maps, she had pieced together the one-lost location of the primeval temple. Now, she had a decision to make. If she reported the location of the temple to her benefactor, it would be ruthlessly stripped of valuables. But, if she kept the location to herself, she could preserve the ancient knowledge contained within. For a savant, knowledge is more precious than any sum of gold.
An aging human warrior silently assessed the soldiers under his command. They were exhausted and almost out of supplies. It was the tenth night of a brutal siege, and the graying commander knew that no reinforcements were coming to their rescue. He was too old to be of much use in battle, but if his soldiers followed his orders without any hesitation, they might have a chance of survival. He stood up, and for what could very well be his final time, drew his weathered sword from its scabbard.
A young dwarf bent over his unconscious comrade in the midst of battle, his hands shook as he examined his brother's wounds. His clan had spent a small fortune sending him to study at the finest university in the land. All the hours spent in lectures and libraries, all for this moment. He thought back to his lessons and began to dress his brother's wounds.
Those described above are just some examples of the adventuring intellectuals known as savants. Armed with only their wit, they aid their allies and outwit their enemies.
There are many wonderfully intelligent people in the world, but few are true savants. Born with the innate desire to learn anything they can, and the potential for genius-level intellect, savants spend their lives learning anything that those around them are willing to teach. Often recognizable at an early age, a savant's unquenchable hunger for knowledge draws them to the great libraries, universities, and other places of higher learning. They are willing to go to any lengths to unlock the secrets of the world, often turning to lives of adventure. For a savant, no price is too steep for the promise of discovery. Savants are hyper-focused on their chosen area of study and often become obsessed with learning all they can about their specialty. In their quest for discovery, savants are willing to set aside any conviction, political, religious, or otherwise, to acquire the information they seek. To them, their desire for knowledge is more important than loyalty to any ideology.
Often at great personal cost, savants will not stop their research until they have made a revolutionary discovery in their area of study. It is not unusual to encounter one such scholar far from the safety of a university and its libraries.

Doing their best to uncover the wisdom of ages long forgotten, they tend to feel a sad kinship with the civilizations they study and go to great lengths not to destroy or offend their memory. For an Archaeologist, the best way to improve the present is to learn from both the mistakes and innovations of the past.

If you are already proficient in either skill you gain proficiency in another skill of your choice from the savant skill list.

You have learned to fight dirty in the underbelly of the world. Beginning at 3rd level, your weapon attacks against the target of Adroit Analysis score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.
When you hit the target of Adroit Analysis with an attack, you can expend an Intellect Die and force the target to make a Constitution saving throw against your Investigator save DC (8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence Modifier) On a failed save, it is blinded, deafened, or cannot speak (your choice) for 1 minute. It can repeat the saving throw at the start of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
When you score a critical hit, you use this feature without expending an Intellect Die, and the target has disadvantage on its initial Constitution saving throw.

Astute Defense

You have a heightened sense of danger and can use your reflexes to dodge incoming blows.

Also, when you, or a creature you can see, hits the target of your Adroit Analysis with a weapon attack, you can use your reaction to turn that attack into an automatic critical hit. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining expended uses when you finish a long rest.

To use this ability, you need a blade, dagger, or the appropriate artisan's tools.
You have also learned to set snares. As an action, you can set a snare in an adjacent unoccupied 5-foot space. The first creature that moves into the space must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your Naturalist save DC (8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence Modifier) or be restrained by your snare.

A creature can detect a snare by making a successful Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Perception) check against your Naturalist save DC.

Each time the creature takes damage, it can repeat the Wisdom saving throw, ending the charm on a success. If you are within 30 feet of the creature and it can hear you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on its saving throw. You can only have one creature charmed in this way at a time. Attempting to charm a second creature ends the effect for the first. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Field Doctor

You can move across the battlefield unscathed. Starting at 6th level, when you use your action to stabilize a creature, restore hit points, or grant temporary hit points, you gain the benefits of the Dodge action until the start of your next turn.
Additionally, when you use a Combat Medic action on your turn, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.

Advanced Combat Medic. Starting at 13th level, you use your knowledge of medicine to perform wondrous feats. As an action, you can touch a willing creature and use one of the abilities listed below. You can use the abilities below a combined number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Regeneration. The creature regains hit points equal to four rolls of your Intellect Die. If the creature has a severed body part, you can reattach it as part of this action.
Restoration. You end one of the following conditions currently affecting it: all of the blinded, charmed, deafened, frightened, paralyzed, and poison conditions affecting the creature, a reduction to an ability score or its hit point maximum, or you reduce its level of exhaustion by 2.
Resuscitation. If the creature has died within the last minute, you return it to life with 1 hit point. You cannot bring back a creature that died of old age, nor can you restore any body parts the creature is missing.

Master Physician

Your medical knowledge is without peer. Beginning at 17th level, whenever you restore hit points or grant temporary hit points to a creature, it gains the maximum possible amount of hit points, in place of rolling. Also, any creature that expends a Hit Die while within 30 feet of you treats their Hit Dice as its maximum possible roll.
