She pulls out her hand and a cell phone screen appears and she begins looking at it ignoring you. She also begins to blow a bubble gum.

Several screens appear and state:

Infinity Knowledge can be either infinite in terms of suddenly knowing everything or in terms of continually coming to know thing. Most brains cant process the download so the second is the viable option.

Super SSS Accelerated Learner is an interesting skill set. You can increase your knowledge by merely doing or acting.

Reading a book has multiple effects: Gain a skill point, know and remember that content, and gain a temporary bonus to the associated skill for a week +2 max.

If you observe a feat used, you can replicate it with ease for the rest of the day.
2. You can increase your knowledge by merely reading books.
3. Once per day you can use another classes class feature if you study it for 1 minute.

These can be adjusted.

He shakes his head a bit. Focus, Dan. It looks like you're boring her, and it's probably not a good idea to get on the nerves of the being responsible for your reincarnation. So... Super SSS Accelerated Learner looks *nice*. No idea how easy it will be for me to find books, but if every one I find is a skill point plus other stuff? That's awesome! Though... not that helpful in combat.

Daniel grimmaces a bit. Right... combat. I'm going to have to fight. Definitely going for a spellcasting class. I just... don't think I could get in melee. Not right off the bat. Anyway, the rest of this ability will help with that. Being able to copy feats? Amazing. Being able to copy one class feature a day? That'll be... the thing I always save because I might need it even more later. Because that's amazing.

He tries mentally telling the screens to close, then turns back to the goddess. "I'm picking Super SSS Accelerated Learner for my ability! So now I just need to decide on a wish, right?"

I asked for knowledge, here's where I should ask for wisdom, right? The problem is, wisdom in terms of Pathfinder stats isn't what I'd want, really. I'd want more... knowing what's right, knowing the best solution, knowing the ethical way through a problem, but... if I base that off of Pathfinder, about the closest I could think of to that would be a phlyactery of faithfulness, which is... far short of what I'd want.

So, I guess that means it's up to me to develop wisdom on my own, which... well, probably for the best, in some ways. So, if I want to spend my wish on something I couldn't get easily myself, and changing species is surprisingly easy... what would I want?

Daniel mulls things over for a moment, before breaking out in a chuckle. Well, I'm already going Brennus halfway, why not go all the way?

"Could I wish for a magic third eye?" he asks. "Um... in Pathfinder terms, I'm thinking that it could work like an always-on divination from the Divination Sphere--one I can switch around between all the divinations I know. I guess that's assuming I can learn some divinations pretty quickly. But would that work?"

I'm pretty happy with the abilities as-stated, I don't see much need to tweak them. Though I'm sure as we play with them we'll see places we want to be more specific or things we want to change with them.

She looks up from her phone for a moment and murmurs, "Mmm hmmm."

"That is pretty straightforward, the details can be hammered out with using it. Anything else? Oh your group have been in there for about a week, do you want to apparate near them or in New Beginnings?"

After your answer she finalizes your ability and wish, then pushes you into a portal. You may go to gameplay now, though if you want to go to New Beginnings we should stay here and keep going with spoilers.

Don't get greedy--you still don't know all the rules around this, he thinks to himself as he mulls things over.

So I have a group? Probably other reincarnators like me? I suppose I could ask that. But that's really useful--my ability works really well with having a group, since I'll easily be able to learn things from them.

Also there's a *place* called New Beginnings? ...how often has this whole reincarnation thing been done? Is there an entire industry around it?

Aloud he says, "Is this group some other people getting reincarnated like me? Do they know about me? I think I'll go ahead and show up near them. Don't split the party, after all." He grins. Also it seems easier on you to not have to keep up this split thing for too much longer.

Third Eye: You have a third eye in your forehead which can see the unseen. As long as it is open, you can perceive the world around you as if concentrating on any one divination you know in addition to your normal senses. You can change which divination you are using as a swift action. If you switch to a divination that requires spending a spell point, you must spend a spell point when you switch to it.

To start with, he'll have the Alteration, Time, and Warp spheres in addition to the Divination sphere, so he'll have access to their divinations along with the default Detect Magic divination. The main one to be aware of there is the Time divination--it gives him a (very) limited ability to look back in time. The page I linked above describes how it works in detail.

Let's see... other things... Daniel picked Green Magic as one of his Hedgewitch paths, which gives him an animal companion. Will he show up with his animal companion, or will he need to acquire it in-world?

I have been putting more thought into how to define Super SSS Accelerated Learner, too. Here's what I'm thinking:

For observing a feat used, we should nail down what that means. It's pretty obvious when something like Improved Trip is used, but what about, say, Toughness or Skill Focus? Would he have to observe someone getting hit to observe Toughness being used? Skill Focus brings up another point--for feats that you have to choose something, he should probably only be able to copy the choice he observed. So seeing someone use Skill Focus (Disable Device) should only let him copy Skill Focus (Disable Device).

I feel like option 2 has been fully absorbed by the "Reading a book has multiple effects" part, it probably doesn't need to be listed separately at this point.

For option 3 we may need to say if there are any restrictions on class features. For example, could he use another class's spellcasting? Though that might be covered by one minute being not nearly enough to rest to memorize spells/recover spell slots. :D We may also want to make clear if he can only replicate it immediately after studying it, or if he could, say, study everyone in the party's class features and then once during the day choose one to replicate for one minute.

Daniel is probably going to annoy people by asking them to show him stuff over and over. :D He's also going to involve a lot of bookkeeping.

Speaking of repetition, we might want to think about some more permanent learning eventually if he keeps repeating copying certain feats. Though I was also thinking there's a way I could use a mind sphere ability to more-or-less permanently copy things.

The last thought I had on it is that it doesn't have anything about learning magic faster in it. That's not necessarily a problem--it's already strong as-is, and adding being able to copy spells he sees or something might be too much. It might be a good thing for him to spend a wish on in the future if he decides he wants to expand the ability (and gets a wish).

I don't think you would be able to learn Toughness as a feat through your ability, the key words is 'feats in use' or 'feat being used'.

So seeing someone use Skill Focus (Disable Device) should only let him copy Skill Focus (Disable Device).

Yes I agree!

For option 3 we may need to say if there are any restrictions on class features. For example, could he use another class's spellcasting? Though that might be covered by one minute being not nearly enough to rest to memorize spells/recover spell slots. :D We may also want to make clear if he can only replicate it immediately after studying it, or if he could, say, study everyone in the party's class features and then once during the day choose one to replicate for one minute.

Any restrictions on a specific class still applies to the ability replicated, so a super natural or spell like ability from a paladin would require you to be Lawful Good and abide by their code of conduct. You could learn a spell from someone that just cast it in different ways, though that would require you to have a spell slot available of the appropriate level. I would be fine with studying everyone in the party's class features and then once during the day choose one to replicate for one minute.

We will see about spells in the future! There also will be limits to what you can learn as per your level you can only have 2 extra 1st level spells known and 1 extra 2nd level spell known. Even as a witch you can still get a scroll and feed it to your familiar. I won't let you have the ability to cast more spells than your class.

You appear in a cave. There is a dragon moving to the North. To the South you see a collection of humanoids with two light sources shedding light. You see a large giant of a man, a wolf man, a saytr, and a scruffy human. Go to gameplay! Now!

It is true it is easier on me to keep the group together!

I've built Daniel as a hedgewitch, which means he's using spherecasting and so doesn't have spell slots and spell levels. His interfacing with the normal 'Vancian' spellcasting of Pathfinder will probably be primarily through rituals.

Okay I will have to look into your class and see if there is anything that you can use. We will see.

And in spite of having 'witch' in the name, the Hedgewitch class actually has nothing to do with the base Witch class, including not having a familiar by default. Confusing, I know. :D

You could gain a familiar if you wanted. XD

We might use your spell pool in order to cast another spell that someone has casted.

I believe the Ritual rules give a conversion rate for spell points to spell levels. Looks like it's levels 0-2: 1 spell point, 3-5: 2 spell points, 6-8: 3 spell points, 9: 4 spell points. And the max level I can cast is 1/2 my caster level, basically.

97 = 3 rerolls all must be under 61 and 1,ooo gp.
27= lizard, a real lizard
5d100 ⇒ (46, 2, 87, 42, 89) = 266

46 = Very Cursed Lesser Medium magical item
2 = dice set
42 = Very Cursed Lesser Minor magical item

83= 2 rerolls all must be under 61 and 5oo gp.
17= stuffed toy
5d100 ⇒ (37, 44, 58, 26, 55) = 220
37 = Jewelry (1,000 gp)
44 = Very Cursed Greater Minor magical item
