 ====== Savant ======
+Warriors rely on their physical prowess, and spellcasters have all
+manner of magic, but a savant needs no weapon or armor, only their
+mind. Brilliant ingenuity, meticulous planning, or keen deductions
+will win them the day and leave their enemies confused at how they
+were defeated.
+Of course, you’d have to be a fool to not use weapons, armor, or
+magic when they’re available, and savants are no fools. Knowledge
+is power, but power is also power. A savant is at their most effective
+when they have an array of tools at their disposal and an assort-
+ment of allies to enact their cunning schemes.
+==== Creating a Savant ====
+Consider why your character relies on wits instead of warcraft or
+wizardry. Were they physically feeble and had to think their way
+out of challenges? Did they receive a refined education and learn
+from history and literature how to deal with all manner of unlikely
+scenarios? Have they just picked up these talents on the job, per-
+haps working a trade or serving as a guard?
+==== Quick Build ====
+Your highest ability score should be Intelligence, followed by Dex-
+terity. Get proficiency in Deception, Investigation, and Perception,
+plus disguise kits. Choose the Vanguard archetype, and choose
+proficiency with Culture, light armor, blowguns, pistols, scimitars,
+and whips. Learn the tricks Antagonizing Flourish, Improved Bas-
+tion Aegis, and Unbalancing Intervention. Learn the clever scheme
+Impromptu Persona.
