Senior Consultant

Prerequisites: 30 Renown

Those who have exhibited exemplary work as a Research Associate, proving their talents in their field of study, will be upgraded to the position of Senior Consultant. As a consultant, adventures now gain the benefit of the full funding of the university and greater access to research.


Personal Research: As a senior consultant you are given a personal research lab within the demiplane of Calytrix University.

Adjunct Professor

Prerequisites: 40 Renown

Once an affiliate has been recognized as an expert in their field of study they will be given the honorary title of Adjunct Professor. They are well respected within the academic community and occasionally teach classes at the university. Adjunct Professors have earned a specialized research title depending on their field of study.


Academic Savant: You choose a specialization based on which of the five campuses you work with [Chosen at Renown 10]. You gain expertise in one of two potential skills and access to spells representing your mastery of the field. You can cast each of these spells without expending a spell slot. Once you cast either of these spells in this way, you can’t cast that spell in this way again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast these spells using spell slots you have of the appropriate level. The spells’ spellcasting ability is the ability increased by this feat.
