Savant: Difference between revisions

'''Adroit Analysis.''' Starting at 1st level, you can quickly analyze a foe's strengths and weaknesses. As a bonus action, you can Mark a creature you can see within 60 feet, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute or until you Mark another creature: You can add your Intelligence Modifier to your weapon attack and damage rolls against that creature instead of your Strength or Dexterity Modifier.If you hit the creature with an attack, or observe it for 1 minute, you learn one of the following characteristics of your choice:

'''Quick Mind.''' Also at 1st level, your mind can move faster than most. You can use a bonus action to make an ability check using any Intelligence or Wisdom skill proficiency you have.

'''Intellect Die.''' At 2nd level, you gain an Intellect Die which represents your mental ability. Whenever you make an ability check or saving throw that uses Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma, you can add a roll of this die to your roll. Your Intellect Die begins as a d6, and increases in size as you gain levels in this class, as indicated in the Savant table. You have a number of Intellect Dice equal to two times your Savant level, also shown in the class table.

==== Perfect Recall ==== You can recall picture-perfect details from things you commit to memory. Starting at 2nd level, if you spend at least 1 minute observing something, you can recall any information about it, at any point in the future, without requiring an ability check.

==== Academic Discipline ==== At 3rd level, choose your Academic Discipline. Your Discipline grants you features at 3rd level, and again at 6th, 13th, and 17th level.

==== Ability Score Improvements ==== When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Alternatively, you can take a [[Feats|feat]] instead of taking this increase to ability scores.

==== Accelerated Reflexes ==== The speed at which you react to stimuli is incredible. Starting at 5th level, so long as you are not surprised, you add your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1) to your initiative rolls.

==== Expert Student ==== Your ability to learn and retain new abilities and languages is beyond compare. Beginning at 5th level, each time you finish a long rest, you can choose to learn one additional language, or gain proficiency in one tool, skill, or weapon of your choice, as long as there is an example for you to learn from (such as a willing teacher with that proficiency, a manual, or a book in a different language). You can only learn one new proficiency or language from this feature per long rest.

==== Keen Awareness ==== You can react to danger at a moment's notice. Starting at 7th level, you cannot be surprised unless you are incapacitated. In addition, when you roll initiative, you can use Adroit Analysis to Mark a creature you can see within 60 feet.

==== Evasion ==== Beginning at 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as an ancient red dragon’s fiery breath or an ice storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. Additionally, if you take no damage because of a success, you may move out of the area causing the save to be made.

==== Expert Educator ==== Starting at 9th level, your ability to educate others is peerless. During a long rest, you choose a number of creatures that can hear or see you equal to your Intelligence modifier, and one tool, skill, or weapon proficiency, or one language you know. The creatures gain that proficiency or learn to understand and speak that language until the end of your next long rest.

==== Flawless Observation ==== Starting at 9th level, you can use Potent Observation when a creature hits any creature you can see with a weapon or spell attack, even if it's not not the target of Adroit Analysis.

==== Unyielding Will ==== Starting at 15th level, when you fail a saving throw to resist being charmed, frightened, or stunned, you can expend an Intellect Die to automatically succeed instead. Additionally, when you fail a saving throw, you may expend an Intellect Die and add it to the saving throw.

==== Profound Insight ==== You can predict attacks before they come to pass. Starting at 18th level, any creature marked by your Adroit Analysis has disadvantage on attack rolls they make, and creatures of your choice that can see or hear you have advantage on any saving throw the target forces those creatures to make.

==== Undisputed Genius ==== Upon reaching 20th level, you realize the true genius-level potential of your mind. Your Intelligence and Wisdom scores increase by 4. Your maximum for those scores is now 24.
