Savant

Magnificent Minds

There are many wonderfully intelligent people in the world, but few are true Savants. Born with the innate desire to learn anything they can, and the potential for genius-level intellect, Savants spend their lives learning anything that those around them are willing to teach. Often recognizable at an early age, a Savant's unquenchable hunger for knowledge draws them to the great libraries, universities, and other places of higher learning. They are willing to go to any lengths to unlock the secrets of the world, often turning to lives of adventure. For a Savant, no price is too steep for the promise of discovery.

Intense Focus

Savants are hyper-focused on their chosen area of study and often become obsessed with learning all they can about their specialty. In their quest for discovery, Savants are willing to set aside any conviction, political, religious, or otherwise, to acquire the information they seek. To them, their desire for knowledge is more important than loyalty to any ideology. Often at great personal cost, Savants will not stop their research until they have made a revolutionary discovery in their area of study. It is not unusual to encounter one such scholar far from the safety of a university and its libraries.

Virtuoso

Bending their impressive intellect toward the study of music, Virtuosos are known for the impressively complex music they write and perform. These masterful composers know how to manipulate the emotions of their listeners with themes, and, with the right sequence of notes, they can fill a listener with feelings of sorrow, anger, indifference, or absolute adoration.

Student of Music

3rd-level Virtuoso Discipline feature You gain proficiency in Insight and Performance. Whenever you make a check with either of these proficiencies you gain a bonus to your roll equal to one roll of your Intellect Die. If you are already proficient in either skill you gain proficiency in another skill from the Savant skill list in its place. Your intuitive understanding of musical composition and performance also grants you the benefits below:

Whenever you would make a Performance check you can choose to use your Intelligence in place of your Charisma.
You gain proficiency with three musical instruments.
If you spend 1 hour practicing with a musical instrument, you are considered proficient with it. However, only one instrument can benefit from this feature at a time.
Whenever you make an ability check that incorporates a musical instrument that you are proficient with, you can treat a roll of 9 or lower on the d20 as a 10.

Wondrous Theme

3rd-level Virtuoso Discipline feature You have composed powerful Themes that stir the hearts of any creature that can hear them. As an action, you can begin to play this Theme, which continues until the start of your next turn, unless you choose to end it (no action required). If you are already playing your Theme, you can use a bonus action to extend its duration until the start of your next turn. Your Theme can be heard up to 120 feet away, but it only influences creatures within 30 feet that can hear the Theme. If one of your Theme's effects requires a creature to make a saving throw, it does so against your Intellect save DC. While you are performing your Theme, you can use your reaction to alter its sound in the following ways:

Discordant Note

When a creature under the influence of your Theme attacks another creature you can see, you can use your reaction to subtract one roll of your Intellect Die from its attack roll.

Inspiring Tune

When a creature under the influence of your Theme takes damage from a source you can see, you can use a reaction to reduce the damage it takes by one roll of your Intellect Die.

Uplifting Melody

When a creature under the influence of your Theme makes a saving throw to resist being charmed, frightened, or stunned, you can use a reaction to have it automatically succeed.

Disarming Melody

6th-level Virtuoso Discipline feature You have woven threads of disarming music into your Theme. If a creature under the influence of your Theme attacks you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or attack another target of its choice within range. If there isn't another target in range its attack misses. Any creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to this effect for 24 hours. Additionally, whenever you use your action to begin your Theme or your bonus action to continue the Theme, you can target one creature under its influence with a burst of sound, forcing it to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, it takes thunder damage equal to two rolls of your Intellect Die.

Empowered Theme

10th-level Virtuoso Discipline feature The strength and beauty of your Theme has increased, and it now affects any creature within 60 feet that can hear it. Also, whenever you use a Wondrous Theme reaction, you can grant one creature under the influence of your Theme temporary hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier.

Master Virtuoso

15th-level Virtuoso Discipline feature Your musical genius and the complexity of your compositions is without peer. You gain the following additional benefits:

Creatures within range of your Theme are still considered to be under its influence, even if they cannot hear it.
When a creature fails its saving throw against Disarming Melody it takes (additional) thunder damage equal to one roll of your Intellect Die.
