Progression
| Level | Unlock | Feat | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Novice feat choice (pick one) | 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. | |
| 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. | |||
| 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) | 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. | |
| 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. | |||
| 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. | |||
