Editing Rune Scribe (section)

==Class Features==
The Rune Scribe is a 5 level PrC with the following goodies to be had from taking it.

Firstly, you run off of a D8 hit dice, meaning you get 1D8+Con Modifier new hit dice each level of Rune Scribe you take. This could be quite handy for squishier characters, like the [[Wizard]], [[Sorcerer]], [[Warlock]] or Arcane Trickster [[Rogue]], and means it doesn't shortchange beefier opt-ins, like an Eldritch Knight [[Fighter]].

Secondly, you get free proficiency with Calligraphy, Masonry and Woodcarving tools, marking probably the first time in the history of ever that handwriting was actually listed as a mechanical perk. For all those times when your party is fighting a group of [[Mind Flayer|mind flayers]] and your only hope is to write a strongly worded letter in the finest penmanship, no other class will suffice.

You gain two 1st level spell slots at 1st level, increasing to three at level 2 and four at level 3. You also get two 2nd level spell slots at 3rd level (increasing to four at level 4) and two 3rd level spell slots at 5th level.

As for unique class attributes, you get the following:

Rune Lore: This ability, gained at 1st level, lets a Rune Scribe unlock the Complex Properties of Master Runes.

Runic Magic: A Rune Scribe does not learn any spells when it gains spell-slots, as it gains said spell-slots for the sake of empowering Master Runes. As per the 5e rules for Multiclassing, Rune Scribe spell-slots stack with spell-slots gained from other spellcasting classes, so a Wizard 6/Rune Scribe 4 has spell-slots as per a 10th level character. This ability is gained at 1st level.

Runic Discovery: At 2nd, 3rd and 5th levels, a Rune Scribe becomes able to attune themselves to one Rune without having the Master Rune for it. It requires a short rest to attune or unattune from a chosen Rune.

Living Rune: From 4th level on, a Rune Scribe can freely boost either one ability score by +2 or two ability scores by +1 at the end of a long rest. This boost lasts until they next take a long rest, which means they can only have 1 (or 2) modified stats at any one time.

Rune Mastery: A 5th level Rune Scribe may choose for one attuned Rune to not count towards their maximum number of attuned magical items. To change the "extra" rune, a Rune Scribe has to unattune from it first.
