This sounds like an awesome item to come across. The name though makes me think of Blackstar from Soul Eater

Inventors: Some tasks need the right tool to accomplish. So much so that, without it, it is an impossible task. You can either wait until a solution presents itself or make that tool yourself. Let's face it, you're an inventor, we know what option you're going to choose. Just remember that what -

A black image with faint hints of distorted text in the lower left and upper right corner. The main text reads: “Midnight in Jubilation”. However, the “o” in Jubilation has been replaced with a graffiti image of a red eye that looks to be weeping blood.

Hello! I’m Dorian Blackwood, and I do a mix of solo and group RPGs, as well as other odds and ends. I’m currently working on the final layout for my solo horror RPG: Midnight in Jubilation. I’ve got a free preview up at the mo, and links to my other games on my Itch store. 😊

Hunters: Last cycle's practice pays off with a new unexpected skill appearing in your repertoire! You've leveled up! Focus on the big picture when deciding what to do next. There will not be time to switch things later.

Shadows: Last cycle's endeavors are this cycle's burdens. Something is misaligned in the world and only you can set things right! Bring darkness to the light, hide that which must not be seen, and obscure that which should never be found.

Library: Divination Center
Bastion Upgrade, rare

“This section of a private library is focused on historical recountings as they pertain to heroes and adventurers with a strong focus on the effects that extraplanar entities have had on those events.”

Research: General Research. When you issue the Research order to this facility, you or the facility’s hireling research a topic. Choose two skills to compile general research and information that includes various sources and topics related to them. The work takes 7 days. When the research concludes you gain a +2 bonus to ability checks made using the chosen skills for the next 7 days. In addition, any Friendly creature that makes an ability check using one of the chosen skills within 10 feet of you gains a +2 bonus.

Research: Future Studies. When you issue the Research order to this facility, you or the facility’s hireling research academic and systemic studies relating to a type of creature. Choose one creature type, roll 1d20, and record the result. You can replace any D20 Test made by a creature of the chosen type that you can see with this foretelling roll. You must choose to do so before the roll, and you can replace a roll in this way only once per turn. If you do not use this roll within 7 days, you lose the ability to do so.

What do you think of Bastions in D&D 5.5e? I'm happy with the concept, and it's something I've done before. But none of the abilities feel worth it, or the ones that do, are to high level to be useful.

We've been using them in our Discord Campaign, and this is an upgrade to our Wizard's bastion.
