Idiot Savant

While not necessarily idiots, Savants are completely obsessed with a particular occupation to the exclusion of others. While often a craft of sorts, it could be almost anything.

Background

Savants may take their class name from the classic completely mentally dysfunctional sort that is beyond excellent in a single area, but any with a singular obsession about a particular skill often fall, literally, into this class. Some go adventuring, usually for the money to continue the courtship of their craft. A love affair that consumes them when they can afford it, they would labor day and night if it were possible, putting their heart and soul into their creations.

Skill and tool proficiency gained in obsessions only apply to the obsession though if you have one from elsewhere you get expertise instead. (Getting Smith's tools in the heavy armor obsession, for instance, does not let you apply your proficiency bonus to making weapons.)
