Scholar: 5e Class

Holding a prominent journal brimming with loose parchment, the Elf examines the ferocious Gnoll from behind armor-clad companions. Before her party can strike, the Elf shouts and points at a weak point in the Gnoll's armor. Her companion smirk in triumphant, landing powerful blows thanks to the Elf's analysis.
The young human checks his work before beginning his lesson and prepares to teach his fellow companions the finer nuances of moving with stealth. After a quick lesson, the group quietly navigates the ruined chapel's dark corridors.
Rushing across the battlefield holding a medical bag, the Aves ducks under the giant's blow before approaching her unconscious Draconic companion. After quickly diagnosing and applying first aid, the Draconic is back on her feet, ready for round two against the raging giant.
The Scholar class is a prominent support class, defined and united by helping their companions. Many who take up a life of academics dedicate their mind to unraveling the mysteries of the world. However, their intellectual efforts can only expand so far in a classroom and laboratory. To truly take the next step, the scholar understands the most effective path for higher education is the adventuring life. Books and vials in the safety of a university are no match for field experience.

Creating A Scholar

When creating your Scholar character, consider the following critical aspects in your character's backstory. What sparked your curiosity to begin a life of adventuring? Perhaps you are lucky enough to follow in the footsteps of a brilliant mentor who asked you to finish their life's work. Maybe you were raised by a tribe of Barbarians but lacked the brawn to follow in their footsteps? Did you study at a prestigious university before setting off into the world, or are you attempting to gain admission by scholarship and need more experience?

Field Notes

Every Scholar seeks to record their discoveries, yet each does so uniquely. How do you record your findings? By some large grimoire with red binding, ink and quill or perhaps you engrave everything onto trees similar to the Archivists of Oriax. When developing your backstory, be sure to include the nuances of how you record knowledge and wish to share your findings with the world.
