Features

  • Deep Sight

    You have darkvision out to 120 feet.

  • Knocking

    You can speak through solid rock to a listener who has learned the pattern, at a range of one mile. It is slow and conveys no more than a sentence at a time, and only something touching the same stone can intercept it.

  • Reads the Seam

    You know the location and quality of every ore body within 300 feet, and you know an hour in advance when a gallery you are standing in is going to fail.

  • Stone Camouflage

    You have advantage on Stealth checks made to hide in rocky terrain.

  • Deep Lungs

    You can hold your breath for fifteen minutes, and you ignore the effects of bad air until the point at which it would be lethal to anyone.

  • Hold-Learning

    You have proficiency in one of Perception, Survival or Technology, your choice.
