History is a Intelligence skill.

What it covers

Recall events, identify artifacts, recognize symbols, know legends and places.

Progression

Level Unlock Feat Effect
2 Novice feat choice (pick one) Deja Vu You experience flashes of historical context: remnants of the room as it was, what happened here, its significance. +2 to your History check when you draw on these flashes of historical memory at this location.
History Repeats Itself You draw on historical precedent to read a live decision, strategic choice, or political moment: +2 to the Insight check, recalling how similar situations played out before.
Cloud Reader On a successful History read of the sky, you gain Weatherwise: the party travels smarter, timing its movements around the weather you foresaw. Your chance of a travel encounter is reduced until your next long rest. Usable about once per long rest.
3 Passive bonus Dark resistance bonus
4 Mastery bonus +1 to History rolls
6 Adept feat choice (pick one) Bestiary Mind On a successful recall you name a creature's weakness aloud and grant Weakness Exposed to your allies in the scene: each ally's next attack against that foe, within the next 5 minutes, lands with advantage. Each ally spends the buff on their first strike.
Dead Tongue Make a History check to decipher unfamiliar, ancient, or coded text. The more obscure the language, the harder the check. On success, understand the meaning and intent. Exceptional results also reveal the author's emotional state, hidden meanings, and cultural references.
Dubious Knowledge When you fail a History check, you still half-recall the subject: three pieces of information surface, two accurate and one misleading, all stated with equal confidence so you cannot tell which is the false one. You also remember where the correct answer could be confirmed.
7 Passive bonus Holy resistance bonus
8 Mastery bonus +1 to History rolls
10 Expert feat choice (pick one) Dead King's Tongue Intelligent listeners make a Wisdom save (DC 14) or treat you as an Emissary of the Old Power for 5 minutes: they hear you out, answer honestly, and refrain from hostility unless provoked. Direct inheritors of the invoked history are affected even on a successful save.
By Every Precedent You recall the closest useful precedent. Once per scene, before you or an ally within 60 feet rolls a related attack, save, or check: that roll gains advantage and +1d4.
Spoils of History History check. On success, locate a forgotten cache. Value scales with your level and check quality. Critical result yields EPIC-grade treasure. Finds are always trade goods.
