Background

New in SW5eThink of this as a Sage-like, library-focused background: you have Library Access, can roam the Library of the Republic, and you know how to navigate its staff and bureaucracy to hunt lore. You’ll likely get preferential treatment at other libraries.

As a child, you were inquisitive when your playmates were possessive or raucous. In your formative years, you found your way to one of the galaxy's great institutes of learning, where you were apprenticed and taught that knowledge is a more valuable treasure than gold or gems. Now you are ready to leave your home- not to abandon it, but to quest for new lore to add to its storehouse of knowledge.

The most well-known of the galaxy's fonts of knowledge is the Library of the Republic. The great library is always in need of workers and attendants, some of whom rise through the ranks to assume roles of greater responsibility and prominence. You might be one of Coruscant's own, dedicated to the curatorship of what is likely the most complete body of lore and history in all the world.

Feature: Library Access. Though others must often endure extensive interviews and significant fees to gain access to even the most common archives in your library, you have free and easy access to the majority of the library, though it might also have repositories of lore that are too valuable, powerful, or secret to permit anyone immediate access.

You have a working knowledge of your cloister's personnel and bureaucracy, and you know how to navigate those connections with some ease.

Additionally, you are likely to gain preferential treatment at other libraries across the galaxy, as professional courtesy shown to a fellow scholar.

Skill Proficiencies. Choose two from Insight, Lore, Investigation, and Nature

Cloistered scholars are defined by their extensive studies, and their characteristics reflect this life of study. Devoted to scholarly pursuits, they value knowledge highly — as a worthy goal in itself, or as a means to a desirable end.
