Savant: Expanded v5.1.0
Scholarly Feats:
Not too many changes to these. Helpful Insights works slightly different (providing a skill floor of 8 when you Help), Lifelong Learner had its language cleaned up, Quick Student was cut (RIP), and Scholar of Lore has been reworked to grant anyone a Scholarly Pursuit (which allows you to take Quick Study and recreate the cut Quick Student Feat)
Magic Items:
These have been cleaned up a bit, and the Scholar’s Cap has been cut (RIP).
Culinarian:
Hopefully the language here is a little more clear in regards to adding new Recipes to your Cook Book. A lot of the Recipes have also been renamed and slightly reworked.
Mentor: Enjoy this new “all-in” support subclass for the Savant!
Orator & Philosopher:
These have both been adjusted so their signature 3rd-level features (Rhetoric and Words of Power respectively) can be used at-will.
Rune Scribe:
This subclass had its language around Runes updated to match my Runecarver Archetype for the Alternate Fighter. The Runes have also been updated with clearer language.
Virtuoso: Enjoy this new musically inclined AoE support subclass for the Savant!
Scholarly Pursuits:
These have had some serious shakeups! Agriculture, Craftsmanship, Meditation, and Navigation have been cut, with seven new/updated options added!
