Welcome
Student of Magic in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Student of Magic
You have been taught the basics of magic or you were taken as an apprentice by a mage. Your teachers were members of an order, a school of magic, or lonely independent wizards. Now, you have left your teachers and are separate from them. Who taught you? What are your feelings about them? Are you still in contact with your former teachers or fellow students? Did you get a degree (official or not) or did you fail to pass the final exam? Are you regarded as a failure by your masters or are they proud of you? Are you still studying under their guide? Are you affiliated to an order or a school?
Features
On Your Master’s Shoulders
You were trained by someone well known in the subject of magic and you can take advantage of it. You can gain an audience with another mage or you can be let in and hosted in buildings owned by your school of magic, your order, friends of your master, or by your fellow students. Those who host you may also let you have access to their libraries, laboratories, or other facilities and give you some advice.Suggested Characteristics
