The Savant v3.5.0! (Patreon)

A quick turnaround on this update. After posting the Savant to a few of the main D&D subs on Reddit I got a ton of feedback and data from quite a few people playing it in one-shot sessions. I'll include a more detailed changelog below, but the main updates have been:
Moving abilities up to the beginning levels (like Expert Student), so you have more thematic things to do.
Changes to Adroit Analysis. Now each time you hit the target (or observe them for the full minute) you can learn one of the following: their AC, max hit points, movement speed, or one of their ability scores. Each subclass lets you choose different things to learn on each hit as well.
Unyielding Mind is now more powerful, but only INT mod uses per short rest.
Improvements to the early levels of some subclasses (Archaeologist, Sleuth)
A reworked Seeker subclass now called the Sleuth
As always, I love getting feedback from my Patrons (you're all the best), so let me know what you think!
