Backgrounds

Librarian

You spent long hours among shelves of tomes, scrolls, and codices -- cataloging, preserving, and studying written knowledge. Whether you served in a grand library or a humble archive, you learned the value of organization and thorough research.

Ability Scores: Choose A or B: (A) Intelligence +2, Wisdom +1; or (B) Intelligence, Wisdom, and Dexterity +1

Equipment: You begin with 50 GP that may only be spent on items from the Adventuring Gear and Tools lists. This gold cannot be used to purchase weapons, armor, or mounts and vehicles. Any unspent funds may be kept in a belt pouch for future expenses in the course of an adventure.

Feature: Catalogued Mind

Once per short rest, you can recall with near-perfect clarity a passage from a book or scroll you've read in the past, granting advantage on one Intelligence check.
