Mentor
An affable dwarf weathers the onslaught of the attacking bandit, making helpful remarks about their footwork before concluding the lesson with a single, powerful blow.
The elven combat-scholar clutches a notebook full of training regiments as she motivates her mage companion to dig deep for his last remnants of magic. She barks warnings at another ally, narrowly saving them from a series of otherwise deadly strikes.
A gruff dragonborn veteran gives one mournful smile over their shoulder, knowing what needs to be done, and singlehandedly holds off an insurmountable threat so that their found family may survive.
Few heroes achieve prominence all on their own, and many great tales feature those mysterious figures who take it upon themselves to guide, aid, and advice a future generation of legends. By sharing their experience, supporting their allies or personally stepping up to face the threats that might otherwise cut another hero’s journey short, mentor figures play a crucial part in many epic tales. Their influence may persist even in death.
Mentors leave their mark on the world by seeing allies not just for what they are, but for what they could be. Where some might inspire with charm, or empower through divine magics, a mentor simply encourages people to strive, and helps them use their individual skill sets to the fullest extent.
Mentors achieve their greatest impact when they work to help companions shine. This ability to coax excellence from others grants the mentor a great degree of freedom in how they carry themselves.
An eccentric lifestyle or intentionally disarming demeanor can become tools by which this sage ally tricks foes into underestimating them, whilst cultivating a powerful bond with the friends who know their true value. Alternatively, the mentor might use their reputation and experience to draw ire away from their fellowship, and risk martyring themselves for the greater good.
Whether the mentor is a well-meaning family member, an analytical genius, or an old legend seemingly past their prime, they provide a much-needed support structure for anyone taxed by the strains of adventuring.

Criticism

We Rest When We're Dead
6th Level Strict Curriculum Feature
During a Long Rest, you can lead a number of willing creatures up to your Lesson Modifier, through grueling exercises that sharpens their talents and teamwork. Any creature that undergoes this training makes a Constitution Saving Throw with a DC of 8 + your Lesson Modifier + your Proficiency Bonus. On a failed Save, a creature gains 1 Level of Exhaustion. After this training, each creature that participated gains one of the following features of its choice:
- It can expend a number of number of Hit Dice up to your Lesson Modifier. It gains a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to the combined result of the Hit Dice.
- It chooses either Attack Rolls, Ability Checks, or Saving Throws, and chooses one Ability Score. It adds your Lesson Modifier to all Rolls it makes of that type using that Ability Score until the end of its next Long Rest.
- It can take the Help Action as a Bonus Action until the end of its next Long Rest.
Creatures involved in the training still gain all benefits of a Long Rest.
