    Research Area Uniqueness

    If your area of research is Gravity, you are able to bend space and shrink it so your punches have a 7 meters range, and deal force damage.

    Phenomena Occurences

    Overthinking

    Your mind is always agitate, you are always thinking about your suroundings, the universe, the best way to eat that meal on the other table. You don't have fear of being agressive with new theories but also respect the solid base of current physics theory. You can alternate between the folowing states whenever you'd like and as a bonus action in combat :

    Follow the books - Add Int modifier to your AC
    Calculated Risks - Add Int modifier to the damage of your unarmed strikes (1d4 when level 1). Add your proficiency bonus when rolling to hit

    Thinking Boost
