SPECIAL ABILITIES
Eye For Talent (Replaces Human Bonus Feat)
Humans have great intuition for hidden potential. They gain a +2 racial bonus on Sense Motive checks. In addition, when they acquire an animal companion, bonded mount, cohort, or familiar, that creature gains a +2 bonus to one ability score of the character’s choice. This racial trait replaces the bonus feat trait.

Draconic Heritage (Replaces Skilled)
At times, a human’s family history can have a dragon’s power bound to the bloodline. Humans with this trait gain darkvision with a range of 10 feet and low-light vision. They can also ignore the Charisma prerequisite for Eldritch HeritageAPG and any feat that has Eldritch Heritage as a prerequisite, but can select only the draconic bloodline with these feats. This replaces the bonus skill rank humans receive at each level.

Favored Enemy (Aberrations):
+2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of his selected type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against them. A ranger may make Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify these creatures.

Waterborn (Su):
A tidal hunter can breathe water for up to 10 minutes per ranger level each day. At 6th level, he can breathe underwater indefinitely.

This replaces wild empathy and the 6th-level combat style feat.

Keen Scent (Ex):
A tidal hunter gains scent, as per the universal monster rule. At 12th level, while in water, the tidal hunter can detect particularly strong or distinct odors (such as blood) up to 1 mile away.

This replaces track and camouflage.

1. What is your character’s name?
Jabari Kybwa'ka

2. How old is your character?
29

3. What would somebody see at first glance (i.e. height, weight, skin color, eye color, hair color, physique, race, and visible equipment)?
Human male.
Tanned, olive colored skin, short-cropped brunette hair, tall with a wiry build, sea-green eyes with flecks of white, like sea foam.
Bow in hand, with a backpack and several quivers of arrows.

4. What additional attributes would be noticed upon meeting the character (i.e. Speech, mannerisms)?
His accent wanders all over the place, and he has a tendency to use slang and idioms from across the Inner Sea region.

5. Where was your character born? Where were you raised? By who?
Jabari was born in Osirion, but that is only because his parents were passing through there at the time. He was 'raised' on the seaways and highways of the Inner Sea region.

6. Who are your parents? Are they alive? What do they do for a living?
Jabari's parents are a Taldan explorer and her Bonuwat husband, both of whom have a keen interest in history, exploration, and seeing new things, and a recidivist's incapability to stay in one place for long.

Both of them are still alive, although it has been over a year since Jabari last saw them; last he heard, they were down in Sargava.

7. Do you have any other family or friends?
Jabari has an uncle in Almas (who runs a dredging company), with whom he stayed for a few days whilst he waited for the expedition to leave.

Jabari understands that he also has family in the Shackles (on his father's side), but he has never met them.

8. What is your character’s marital status? Kids?
Single

9. What is your character’s alignment?
Chaotic Good

10. What is your character’s moral code?
Everyone has the right to choose their own path - as long as that path does not involve tampering with the choices of others.

11. Does your character have goals?
To find enough worthy materials that he can open a museum of Azlanti History - although it will be mostly a vanity project, rather than a source of income; Jabari has inherited his parents' wanderlust, and has no intention of settling down properly as long as there is still breath left in his body. Having a home base to return to occasionally, however, would be comforting.

12. Is your character religious?
Not especially - apart from the occasional muttered prayer to Desna when starting a new journey, or Gozreh when heading out to sea. However, he still *respects* the Gods as Platonic concepts

13. What are your character’s personal beliefs?
The road goes ever, ever on - and each step is the beginning of a new journey!

14. Does your character have any personality quirks (i.e. anti-social, arrogant, optimistic, paranoid)?
Generally friendly, although he has a tendency to get overly-excited when encountering new historical information

15. Why does your character adventure? Why did your character accept the job?
To learn more about Ancient Azlant, discover forgotten histories, and experience never-before-encountered thrills! After all, a trip to the ruins of Azlant is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

16. How does your character view his/her role as an adventurer?
Ranged support, with a sideline in tracking, diplomacy, and interpreting historical records.

17. Does your character have any distinguishing marks (birth-marks, scars, deformities)?
A scar from the tip of his left eyebrow, down the side of his cheek - a 'parting gift' from a reefclaw that he encountered in his youth.

18. How does your character get along with others?
Well enough - provided that they don't try to cram their beliefs or prejudices down his throat.

19. Is there anything that your character hates?
Cheese - not as a cooking ingredient, but in isolation (e.g. a cheese platter); Jabari is pretty open-minded when it comes to food, but there is something about cold cheese that just makes him want to hurl.

20. Is there anything that your character fears?
Although he would not admit it, Jabari never entirely got over the encounter with a reefclaw that scarred him as a child...

1. What is your character’s name? Rebecca “Becky” Beys
2. How old is your character? 16. She’s still a kid in many respects.
3. What would somebody see at first glance (i.e. height, weight, skin color, eye color, hair color, physique, race, and visible equipment)? 5’4”, 111 lbs., pale skin, green eyes, strawberry blonde hair, a younger version of her mom, Perrell. The most notable equipment on her would be the unused masterwork studded leather armor darkwood buckler (I misremembered) she bought for the expedition with the extra funds from her Employee campaign trait.
4. What additional attributes would be noticed upon meeting the character (i.e. Speech, mannerisms)? Becky’s a walking contradiction. She’s shy until she starts talking about a subject that interests her; then she’ll ramble on for an hour. She’ll be meek and a good follower until there’s a chance to lead and prove her worth (at which point she becomes confident in her smarts and general common sense). She has a tendency to be an insufferable know-it-all.
5. Where was your character born? Where were you raised? By who? Almas, Andoran, for all her life. She was raised mostly by her mother.
6. Who are your parents? Are they alive? What do they do for a living? Her mom, Perrell, is on the expedition. Not sure what’s up with her father; I sort of assumed that most of her life, Becky’s been raised by a single mom.
7. Do you have any other family or friends? In the previous “Ruins of Azlant” campaign Becky was in, Medrinnah Harleau was her BFF and partner-in-mischief. I assume she’s got relatives back in Andoran.
8. What is your character’s marital status? Kids? Becky’s a kid herself. (But don’t tell her that!)
9. What is your character’s alignment? Neutral, with a tendency toward good. She’s a scholar and student first (and gaining knowledge requires an open mind and general neutrality, at least in her mind).
10. What is your character’s moral code? She’s generally a team player who wants the settlement to succeed and flourish. When there’s knowledge to be gleaned or secrets to be uncovered, however, she can be selfish and prone to breaking the rules.
11. Does your character have goals? Learn everything she possibly can and one day replace Ramona as the colony’s leader.
12. Is your character religious? Heck no!
13. What are your character’s personal beliefs? Knowledge is power. Wealth can be power. Everyone must contribute to the greater good of the settlement in some manner or another.
14. Does your character have any personality quirks (i.e. anti-social, arrogant, optimistic, paranoid)? Her voice gets shrill and squeaky when she’s excited or upset. Otherwise, she’s your typical, occasionally moody, teenaged girl.
15. Why does your character adventure? Why did your character accept the job? The short answer is: for knowledge. She also has a more adventurous (some might even say ‘reckless’) spirit than her mother, and discovering the wonders of ancient Azlant fascinates her.
16. How does your character view his/her role as an adventurer? She knows she’s awful in a fight but can be useful by providing timely aid and support to her comrades. She’s also a secondary healer, but Becky feels she’ll shine as a dispenser of the knowledge she’s gained from a (thus far) scholarly, book-learning lifetime of preparation to go to Talmandor’s Bounty.
17. Does your character have any distinguishing marks (birth-marks, scars, deformities)? Not really, other than looking like a younger version of her mother.
18. How does your character get along with others? She’s easygoing unless she’s treated as a kid. Then she can get a bit ornery.
19. Is there anything that your character hates? Being treated like a kid.
20. Is there anything that your character fears? She’s heard tales about how skum reproduce and is terrified of somehow falling into their clutches. (Not sure if those creatures have appeared yet in the campaign.)

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Dimdweller (replaces skilled)
Dimdweller (2 RP): Whenever characters with this trait benefit from concealment or full concealment due to darkness or dim light, they gain a +2 racial bonus on Intimidate, Perception, and Stealth checks. Humans can take this trait in place of the skilled trait, also gaining darkvision to a range of 60 feet. Source PZO9466

Darkvision is surprisingly common close to the worldwound. A strong selections exists to not be suspectible to demon night attack tactics.

Improved Counterspell

Weapon Song

My pack is me, I am my pack. I will deal with fairly with those close to me, and divide resources justly. I am not obliged to offer my life for them, but I will strive to save them, even if it imperils my own survival.

To do violence is to please the both the serpent who guards the world and the lord in iron. To do violence for no reason is to insult both.

The laws of others I follow if I deem it appropriate.

All Fae eldest value creativity, I will seek unusual solutions, but not insane ones.

I shall accept surrender if it is offered

1. What is your character’s name?
Solveig Svartdottir

Human female.
Pale skin, blond, almost white hair, several polearms and heavy looking weapons.

Kellid accent mixed with the singsong of the Fae.
Swears in Abyssal during battle. Uses Sylvan for songs.

5. Where was your character born? Where were you raised? By who?
Solveig was born close to the lakes lost to the sun in Sarkoris. She was raised communally, as her father died from complications of biting a Ghibrileth demon. She was offered as a ward to Ragadan, as part of a tribute giving ritual.

6. Who are your parents? Are they alive? What do they do for a living?
Svarte Stridson, her father was a powerful Kellid warrior and a champion of her village. Her mother, Aesilde Skuggadottir was orphaned during the war, but taken in by Svarte, who was a fairly loving father.

Both of them are presumed dead, as Solveig, while only a few weeks passed for her, spent several decades in the fae realm.

Single

To found a refugee for exiles, far away from either demons and hard hearted inquisitors.

Polytheistic, she mostly pledges to Gorrum, especially before battle, but still holds Ragadan in a degree of regard. While chaotic evil, the world serpent has done much for her tribe, and her treatment was not bad or cruel.
She strongly dislikes Iomedae.

13. What are your character’s personal beliefs?
Fates weaves as it wills, but its will is not known. Only by standing up for yourself you can known and find your true faith.

14. Does your character have any personality quirks (i.e. anti-social, arrogant, optimistic, paranoid)?
She has a chip or two over her shoulder, she is quite charismatic, but also quick to anger. Hypocrisy drives her nuts

15. Why does your character adventure? Why did your character accept the job?

16. How does your character view his/her role as an adventurer?
Frontline support, with a sidetrack in lore and knowledge.

I'm submitting an Azlanti water princess, born long long ago to a mysterious outsider that for many eons has kept her safely hidden deep beneath the waves. Recently, she was released to return to the surface, literally a fish-out-of-water story. Because of her unusual heritage, she carries strong magic in her blood, and she can summon and control the element of water, commanding it to give succor and life or chilly buffeting death.

1. What is your character’s name?
Her parents call her "Ommerra," or sometimes "Ommerra Beachcomber" after their profession/hobby. They decided this was the girl's name when they found her and taught her to speak Common.

2. How old is your character?
She looks like she is in her early twenties, and ten years ago she looked like she was in her early teens, but she is probably far, far older.

3. What would somebody see at first glance (i.e. height, weight, skin color, eye color, hair color, physique, race, and visible equipment)?
Ommerra appears to be a small human woman, with pale skin, red hair, shockingly purple eyes, delicate bones, and no visible weapons or spellcasting components. She wears a shiny mail shirt but no helmet, and her long locks spill down her shoulders and back like they have never been cut.

4. What additional attributes would be noticed upon meeting the character (i.e. Speech, mannerisms)?
She speaks Common with a slight accent, as if it is not her native language. She is also a bit unsteady on her feet when on land, indicating that she is more at home in the water.

5. Where was your character born? Where were you raised? By who?
She was born deep underwater and kept protected by a mysterious extraplanar figure. Her earliest memories of being on land involve her laying on the sand of southern Andoran gasping before she was found by her adoptive parents.

6. Who are your parents? Are they alive? What do they do for a living?
Her parents were older, with no children of their own. They traded merchandise and scavenged the beaches for treasures washed up from shipwrecks. They died recently, three years ago.

7. Do you have any other family or friends?
Her familiar Arial came to her soon after her parents passed, perhaps because she so sorely needed a companion. He is a seabird born of her imagination, and all of the esoteric knowledge that she has collected over the years of beachcombing and reading old tomes has taken residence in his mind instead of hers.

8. What is your character’s marital status? Kids?
Single, no kids.

9. What is your character’s alignment?
Her parents raised her to do good, though their somewhat chaotic existence did not set a very lawful example for her. She is neutral good.

10. What is your character’s moral code?
She believes in looking out for family and friends, and supporting her community in turn. She is generally empathetic, and cares about helping those who do wrong to come to the correct path.

11. Does your character have goals?
Yes, she wants to discover as much as she can about Azlant in the hopes of discovering her own history.

12. Is your character religious?
Not particularly.

13. What are your character’s personal beliefs?
She believes she has some deep and mystic connection to Azlant, though she does not know exactly what it is. She also believes it is her duty to share her lifewater with other worthy members of her community.

14. Does your character have any personality quirks (i.e. anti-social, arrogant, optimistic, paranoid)?
She apologizes a great deal, she can't help it. She is very giving and hopeful about the future. She is also extremely loyal, to the point of glomming onto others that she thinks is her friend (since she cannot recall ever having friends as a child).

15. Why does your character adventure? Why did your character accept the job?
She is hungry for knowledge and protective of her friends.

16. How does your character view his/her role as an adventurer?
She is a protector and a scholar. (Mechanically, she's mostly a blaster, though she is also sort of a healer, especially as her oracle and sorcerer abilities mature, but it won't be reliable healing until around level 10.)

17. Does your character have any distinguishing marks (birth-marks, scars, deformities)?
It is difficult to spot, but she has two slits in her lower neck that look like they may have been gills, but they have mostly healed over.

18. How does your character get along with others?
She tries very hard, though her social skills are not the best.

19. Is there anything that your character hates?
She doesn't like red meat, preferring to eat vegetables or fish when she has a choice. She also is strangely triggered by mind control magic.

20. Is there anything that your character fears?
Along those same lines, she has a visceral fear of deep sea creatures that control others with mind powers.

Racial Abilities:
Celestial Resistance: Aasimars have acid resistance 5, cold resistance 5, and electricity resistance 5.
True Speaker: There are some aasimars whose language transcends all boundaries. They gain a +2 bonus on Linguistics and Sense Motive checks, and they learn two languages each time they gain a rank in Linguistics. This racial trait replaces skilled.
Crusading Magic: Many aasimars feel obligated to train to defend the world against fiends. These aasimars gain a +2 racial bonus on caster level checks to overcome spell resistance and on Knowledge (planes) checks. This racial trait replaces the skilled and spell-like ability racial traits
Darkvision: Aasimar have darkvision 60 ft. (they can see perfectly in the dark up to 60 feet.)
Class Abilities:
Familiar: An unlettered arcanist does not keep a spellbook. Instead, she gains a familiar in which she stores her spells as a witch does, though she does not gain a witch’s patron. Treat her arcanist level as her witch level for determining the abilities and benefits granted by the familiar. Anything that would allow an unlettered arcanist to add spells to her spellbook allows her to add spells to her familiar instead.
This ability replaces spellbooks.

Witch Spells: An unlettered arcanist follows a different arcane tradition. She uses the witch spell list instead of the wizard/sorcerer spell list.
This ability alters the spells class feature.
Arcane Reservoir: An arcanist has an innate pool of magical energy that she can draw upon to fuel her arcanist exploits and enhance her spells. The arcanist’s arcane reservoir can hold a maximum amount of magical energy equal to 3 + the arcanist’s level. Each day, when preparing spells, the arcanist’s arcane reservoir fills with raw magical energy, gaining a number of points equal to 3 + 1/2 her arcanist level. Any points she had from the previous day are lost. She can also regain these points through the consume spells class feature and some arcanist exploits. The arcane reservoir can never hold more points than the maximum amount noted above; points gained in excess of this total are lost.
Points from the arcanist reservoir are used to fuel many of the arcanist’s powers. In addition, the arcanist can expend 1 point from her arcane reservoir as a free action whenever she casts an arcanist spell. If she does, she can choose to increase the caster level by 1 or increase the spell’s DC by 1. She can expend no more than 1 point from her reservoir on a given spell in this way.
Arcanist Exploits: By bending and sometimes even breaking the rules of magic, the arcanist learns to exploit gaps and exceptions in the laws of magic. Some of these exploits allow her to break down various forms of magic, adding their essence to her arcane reservoir. At 1st level and every 2 levels thereafter, the arcanist learns a new arcane exploit selected from the following list. An arcanist exploit cannot be selected more than once. Once an arcanist exploit has been selected, it cannot be changed. Most arcanist exploits require the arcanist to expend points from her arcane reservoir to function. Unless otherwise noted, the saving throw DC for an arcanist exploit is equal to 10 + 1/2 the arcanist’s level + the arcanist’s Charisma modifier.
-Armored Mask: By expending 1 point from her arcane reservoir as a standard action, the arcanist grants herself an effective illusion of armor.
She gains the benefits of mage armor with a caster level that’s equal to her arcanist level and appears to be wearing light or medium armor of whatever design she chooses when activating this ability. At any time while this effect is active, she can expend 1 additional point from her arcane reservoir as an immediate action to also gain the benefits of shield of faith with a caster level equal to her arcanist level.
-Flame Arc: The arcanist can unleash an arc of flame by expending 1 point from her arcane reservoir. This creates a 30-foot line of flame that deals 1d6 points of fire damage + the arcanist’s Charisma modifier, plus an additional 1d6 points of fire damage for every 2 levels beyond 1st (to a maximum of 10d6 at 19th level) to each target in the line. Creatures in the area of effect may attempt a Reflex saving throw to halve the damage.
Cantrips: Arcanists can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, each day as noted on Table: Arcanist Spells Prepared. These spells are cast like any other spell, but they do not consume spell slots. As with her other spells, these spells are not expended when cast.
Consume Spells: At 1st level, an arcanist can expend an available arcanist spell slot as a move action, making it unavailable for the rest of the day, just as if she had used it to cast a spell. She can use this ability a number of times per day equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 1). Doing this adds a number of points to her arcane reservoir equal to the level of the spell slot consumed. She cannot consume cantrips (0 level spells) in this way. Points gained in excess of the reservoir’s maximum are lost.

Traits
Focused Mind: Your childhood was dominated either by lessons of some sort (whether musical, academic, or other) or by a horrible home life that encouraged your ability to block out distractions and focus on the immediate task at hand. You gain a +2 trait bonus on concentration checks.
Reactionary: You gain a +2 trait bonus on initiative checks.
Azlanti Scholar (campaign): Your interactions with the elves of the Mordant Spire have taught you much about Azlanti artifacts, and you now share the Mordant Spire elves’ fascination with these relics. You gain Azlanti as a bonus language, and you gain a +2 trait bonus on Appraise and Use Magic Device checks when attempting to identify or use authentic Azlanti artifacts.

Feats:
Extra Arcanist Exploit: You gain one additional arcanist exploit. You must meet the prerequisites for this arcanist exploit.
Extra Reservoir: You gain three more points in your arcane reservoir, and the maximum number of points in your arcane reservoir increases

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Self-Petrification (Ex)
A petrifern can petrify itself as a standard action in order to defend itself from predators. When it does so, the petrifern’s natural armor bonus to AC increases by 5, it gains resistance 10 to cold and fire, and it can take 20 on Stealth checks to appear as a sprout or fallen tree branch. While petrified, the petrifern can’t move or take any actions. A petrifern can remain petrified indefinitely, and it can cease its petrification as a standard action.
Toxic Secretion (Ex)
Petriferns secrete a bitter toxin meant to make them distasteful to predators. Once per day when a creature touches a petrifern, the plant can release its toxin, causing the attacker to become sickened for 1d4 rounds if it fails a DC 11 Fortitude saving throw. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Uwe was born to a merchant family in the Ironbound Archipelago. He was trained by various tutors in a small town where his father had set up a shop that was largely operated by his mother. This meant that he spent most of his time alone or with tutors. Although he was good at learning from the various books that his tutors shared with him, his greatest learning came from interacting with a petrifern that he became connected to as his familiar. His parents thought the creature was just a toy he came up with as the petrifern remained frozen while around others. But in reality, Bush was communicating with him and teaching him how to access arcane powers that could be used to protect Uwe, Bush and Uwe’s family.
When Uwe came of age he signed to the trip to Ancorato to create a new trading branch for his family’s business.

[This Will Be a...spoiler=Employee (Campaign Trait)]
You have worked for the Bountiful Venture Company or you are the child of one of its current employees. This connection helped you get a leg up on the competition to get involved in the establishment of Talmandor’s Bounty. The company didn’t want nepotism to show through too strongly, so you weren’t included in the first wave of colonists and instead have been selected to accompany the second wave of colonists to the island. You don’t want people to know that you’re part of the company, but your contacts in the Bountiful Venture Company didn’t necessarily tell you that you needed to keep it a secret.

You begin play with an additional 150 gp of equipment and know (at least in some capacity) one of the other company employees: Lyra Heatherly, Perrell Beys, or Ramona Avandth. Due to your association with the Bountiful Venture Company, your words and ideas may carry additional weight with the other employees of the company. (Your GM can grant a +1 circumstance bonus on Diplomacy checks in regards to these people in certain situations.) In addition, you gain a +1 trait bonus on Bluff checks, and Bluff is always a class skill for you.

Character Overview
Rebecca is the teenage child of Perrell Beys (the expedition’s scholar and historian), similar in appearance, build, and interests to her mother. She’s got more of an adventuring spirit, however, and a craving for wealth.

Backstory and Motivation For the first twelve years of her existence, Becky was the spitting image of her mother, Perrell. Then the terrible teens struck and she became a bit rebellious, trying to differentiate herself from her stodgy and boring mom. Oh, she still dedicated herself admirably to her studies and appreciated her mom paying for her topnotch education, but Becky has a wild streak. This manifest itself once her mother mentioned the Bountiful Venture Company’s plan to establish a colony in the ruins of Azlant and the first wave of settlers crossed the ocean. The teen’s need to learn how to swim (an essential skill, she feels strongly, for settlers on an island) led her to join a gang of older teen ne’er-do-wells who hung out near Almas’s docks and shoreline, often swimming out to burglarize moored ships under cover of darkness. Thus did Becky learn to swim and how to wield a dagger effectively. From the gang’s handsome leader, Tomas (whose larcenous talents extended to land-based theft), Rebecca also learned how to pick locks and the basics of detecting and bypassing mundane traps.

When Tomas was arrested, Becky left the gang. Wanting badly to be part of the second expedition to Talmandor’s Bounty, she again became Perrell’s doting daughter (or at least played the part) so she could tag along. This brought her into contact with the soon-to-be leader of Talmandor’s Bounty, Ramona Avandth; Becky’s been a smitten hero-worshiper ever since. Ramona actually helped out a bit with Becky’s bard training, and the young Beys girl chose to learn cure light wounds as one of her spells because, as she told Ramona, “An expedition can never have too many healers!”

Becky’s recently realized that her near-total admiration for Ramona includes a romantic attraction. (How can someone look that beautiful with that hairdo??!! She felt similar pangs for the gang leader, Tomas, and is irked and confused by her stupid mixed-up hormones.

[This Will Be a Spoiler...spoiler=Archivist Bard Archetype]
Archivist
Source: Advanced Player's Guide, pg. 80
Some bards greatly prefer academic pursuits to the drama (and sometimes melodrama) of their artistic brethren.

Bardic Performance: An archivist gains the following types of bardic performance.

Naturalist (Ex): An archivist who has identified a creature with a Knowledge check appropriate to its type can use performance to share strategies for defeating it with allies in combat. The archivist and any allies within 30 feet gain a +1 insight bonus to AC and on attack rolls and saving throws against exceptional, supernatural, and spell-like abilities used by creatures of that specific kind of monster (e.g., frost giants, not all giants or all humanoids). This bonus increases by +1 at 5th level and every six levels thereafter. This language-dependent ability requires visual and audible components. This ability replaces inspire courage.

Lamentable Belaborment (Ex): At 6th level, an archivist can bewilder a creature already fascinated by his performance. Using this ability does not disrupt the fascinate effect, but it does require a standard action to activate (in addition to the free action to continue the fascinate effect). The target must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the bard’s level + the bard’s Cha modifier). Success renders the target immune to this power for 24 hours, but failure leaves the target either dazed or confused (archivist’s choice) for as long as the performance continues. If the target takes damage, this effect ends immediately. This mind-affecting ability relies on audible components. This ability replaces suggestion.

Pedantic Lecture (Su): At 18th level, an archivist can affect as many creatures with lamentable belaborment as he currently has fascinated. In addition, he may choose to cause targets to fall asleep rather than be dazed or confused. This ability replaces mass suggestion.

Lore Master (Ex): At 2nd level, an archivist may take 20 on Knowledge checks once per day, plus once per six levels beyond 2nd. This ability replaces versatile performance.

Magic Lore (Ex): At 2nd level, an archivist gains a bonus on Spellcraft checks to identify magic items or decipher scrolls equal to half his bard level and may take 10 on such checks. An archivist can use Disable Device to disarm magical traps as per a rogue’s trapfinding ability and gains a +4 bonus on saves against magical traps, language-dependent effects, and symbols, glyphs, and magical writings of any kind. This ability replaces well-versed.

Jack of All Trades (Ex): At 5th level, an archivist can use any skill, even if the skill normally requires him to be trained. At 11th level, he considers all skills to be class skills, and at 17th level he can take 10 on any skill check, even if it is not normally allowed. This ability replaces lore master.

Probable Path (Ex): At 10th level, an archivist can calculate the action likely to bring success with the least risk. Once per day, he can take 10 on any d20 roll. He may use this ability one additional time per day for every three levels after 10th. This ability replaces jack of all trades.
