Scholar, v0.5

Hello there backers!

Last month I returned to the Scholar at long last and after many requests. Since that time I've been slowly grinding away on improvements to the core class and adding in four new archetypes. This draft has a few changes from the last public draft:

- Expertise no longer a class feature, now moved to Erudite Application option(s)
- Lowered number of uses of Applied Intelligence
- Added a cost to the Physician's Resuscitating Procedure

- Added Diplomat and Theologian archetypes
- Added Erudite Applications for those archetypes
- Gave a Ritualist EA to the Theologian and came up with a new Ritualist EA

I hope you get the chance to read, enjoy, and play this draft of the Scholar. If you have thoughts, I'm always happy to hear them!

Thanks,
Benjamin

Having Extra Attack/War Priest analogue ability be a Tactician exclusive Erudite Application I mean. Darn me and forgetting to proofread my ramblings :P

Im loving how the Scholar is shaping up. My one concern is with the Tactician archtype; its 20th level ability seems... well, markedly underpowered. its something that you can gain by taking 5 levels (6 in a few rare cases) in any martially competent class. I do have a potential suggestion though; since Scholars gain an Erudite Application at 5th level, perhaps Extra Attack or something similar to the War Domain Cleric's War Priest Feature (using ones bonus action to do an extra weapon attack a number of times per long rest equal to your INT modifier in the case of the Scholar). It would mirror the Bladelock's Thirsting Blade invocation, so having a prerequisite of 5th level for that EA might be appropriate.
