  • any potion
  • any scroll
  • Ring of Fire Resistance
  • Ring of Invisibility
  • Ring of Protection
  • Ring of Spell Storing
  • any wand
  • Studded leather armor +1 (or greater)

  • Savants can instinctively Comprehend Languages and Read Magic (as the spells).

    Savants are also capable of acting as sages in one to three areas of study. Derro raiding parties’ missions are often inspired by a savant’s research.
