Hearts

Each level you gain in this class grants you a Heart Container (or a "Hit Die"), which is a d8. Heart Containers are used primarily during short rests to recover heart points.

If your first class level is gained as a scion, your maximum heart points increases by 8 + your Constitution modifier.

Anytime you otherwise gain a level in this class, you roll d8 (or take the median of 5), then add your Constitution modifier to that number. Your maximum heart points increases by an amount equal to the result.

If your Constitution modifier later increases, your maximum heart points will retroactively increase.

Proficiency

If scion is your first class, you have proficiency with the following. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your patron and proficiency points.

Armor: Light armor
Weapons: Simple weapons, rods
Saving Throws: Constitution, Charisma

You may gain additional proficiencies depending on your patron as detailed below.

Proficiency Points

Option: Skills & Backgrounds
Proficiency points are meant to replace the skill proficiencies and backgrounds used by official D&D classes. If it is your DM's preference, you are instead proficient in two skills of your choice from [Arcana]], Deception, History, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Persuasion, and Religion. These proficiencies are in addition to any proficiencies from your background.

If your first class level is gained as a researcher, you have a number of proficiency points equal to 5 + your Intelligence modifier. If your Intelligence modifier permanently increases, so too do your number of proficiency points. During character creation or during downtime, you can expend proficiency points to become proficient.

This feature assumes you do not have a background. If you do have a background, your number of proficiency points is reduced by 6, to a minimum of 0.

Retraining

Heroes don't always retain their skills forever.  Sometimes old methods are forgotten in favor of new means.  Each time you gain a level in any class, you can forget up to 3 proficiency points' worth of items you gained with this feature.  Doing so lets you regain the points you invested.  You can then invest these points into any other items in accordance with this feature, or save them to be assigned at later levels.
