Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Investigators are proficient with simple weapons, plus the hand crossbow, rapier, sap, shortbow, short sword, and sword cane. They are proficient in light armors, but not shields.
Spell Casting
Spellcasting
A questioner casts arcane spells drawn from the bard spell list. He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time. To learn or cast a spell, a questioner must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell’s level. The saving throw DC against a questioner’s spell is equal to 10 + the spell’s level + the questioner’s Intelligence modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a questioner can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. He knows the same number of spells and receives the same number of spell slots per day as a bard of his investigator level, including for cantrips. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Intelligence score.
At 5th level and every 3 investigator levels thereafter, a questioner can learn a new spell in place of one he already knows, using the same rules as a bard. In effect, the questioner loses the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least 1 level lower than the highest-level spell the questioner can cast.
A questioner need not prepare his spells in advance. He can cast any bard spell he knows at any time, assuming he has not yet used up his allotment of spells per day for the spell’s level.
This ability replaces alchemy.
Inspiration (Ex) [7/day]
An investigator is beyond knowledgeable and skilled—he also possesses keen powers of observation and deduction that far surpass the abilities of others. An investigator typically uses these powers to aid in their investigations, but can also use these flashes of inspiration in other situations.
An investigator has the ability to augment skill checks and ability checks through his brilliant inspiration. The investigator has an inspiration pool equal to 1/2 his investigator level + his Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). An investigator's inspiration pool refreshes each day, typically after he gets a restful night's sleep. As a free action, he can expend one use of inspiration from his pool to add 1d6 to the result of that check, including any on which he takes 10 or 20. This choice is made after the check is rolled and before the results are revealed. An investigator can only use inspiration once per check or roll. The investigator can use inspiration on any Knowledge, Linguistics, or Spellcraft skill checks without expending a use of inspiration, provided he's trained in the skill. Inspiration can also be used on attack rolls and saving throws, at the cost of expending two uses of inspiration each time from the investigator's pool. In the case of saving throws, using inspiration is an immediate action rather than a free action.
Trapfinding [+2]
An investigator adds 1/2 his level to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device checks (minimum 1). An investigator can use Disable Device to disarm magical traps.
Investigator Talent (Ex) or (Su)
At 3rd level and every 2 levels thereafter, an investigator gains an investigator talent. Except where otherwise noted, each investigator talent can only be selected once. Investigator talents marked with an asterisk (*) add effects to an investigator’s studied combat or studied strike. Only one of these talents can be applied to an individual attack, but the decision can be made when the damage is dealt. The following investigator talents complement the questioner archetype particularly well: expanded inspiration, inspirational expertise, perceptive tracking, rogue talent, and underworld inspiration.
Questioner-Restricted Talents:
A questioner selects investigator talents as normal, except he cannot select the alchemist discovery investigator talent.
This ability alters investigator talents.
-:Underworld Inspiration (Ex)
Benefit: An investigator can use his inspiration on Bluff, Disable Device, Disguise, Intimidate, or Sleight of Hand checks without expending uses of inspiration, provided he's trained in the skill.
-: Expanded Inspiration (Ex) [5th level]
Benefit: An investigator can use his inspiration ability when attempting Diplomacy, Heal, Perception, Profession, and Sense Motive checks without expending uses of inspiration, provided he’s trained in the skill.
-:Empathy (Ex, Su) [From 5th level feat]
Prerequisite(s): Investigator 5th level
Benefit: When attempting a Sense Motive check, the investigator makes two d20 rolls and takes the higher result. If an investigator uses inspiration on a Sense Motive check, he rolls the inspiration dice twice and takes the higher result. Once per day, the investigator can expend one use of inspiration to target a single creature that he can see and hear within 30 feet. Upon doing so, the investigator detects the surface thoughts of the target’s mind, as if he concentrated for 3 rounds while using the detect thoughts spell, unless the creature succeeds on a Will saving throw. The DC of this save is 10 + 1/2 the investigator’s level + his Intelligence modifier. If the target fails, the investigator can continue to detect the surface thoughts of the target creature for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 his investigator level.
-:Eidetic Recollection (Su) [Bonus talent at 5th level]
Benefit: An investigator can always choose to take 10 on any of his Knowledge checks, even if he’s in immediate danger or distracted. An investigator may expend one use of inspiration to take 20 on a Knowledge skill check even if he’s in immediate danger or distracted.
Poison Resistance (Ex) [+4]
At 2nd level, an investigator gains a +2 bonus on all saving throws against poison. This bonus increases to +4 at 5th level, and to +6 at 8th level. At 11th level, the investigator becomes completely immune to poison.
Know-It-All (Ex) [+2]
At 2nd level, a questioner receives a +1 bonus on skill checks for all Knowledge skills in which he is trained. This bonus increases by 1 at 5th level and every 3 investigator levels thereafter, to a maximum of +6 at 17th level. If he has the perceptive tracking investigator talent, he also adds this bonus on Perception checks to find and follow tracks. At 5th level, the questioner gains the eidetic recollection investigator talent as a bonus talent, ignoring its prerequisites.
This ability replaces poison lore.
Keen Recollection
At 3rd level, an investigator can attempt all Knowledge skill checks untrained.
Trap Sense (Ex) [+2]
At 3rd level, an investigator gains an intuitive sense that alerts him to danger from traps, granting him a +1 bonus on Reflex saving throws to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks by traps. At 6th level and every 3 levels thereafter, these bonuses increase by 1 (to a maximum of +6 at 18th level).
Studied Strike (Ex) [+1d6]
At 4th level, an investigator can choose to make a studied strike against the target of his studied combat as a free action, upon successfully hitting his studied target with a melee attack, to deal additional damage. The damage is 1d6 at 4th level, and increases by 1d6 for every 2 levels thereafter (to a maximum of 9d6 at 20th level). The damage of studied strike is precision damage and is not multiplied on a critical hit; creatures that are immune to sneak attacks are also immune to studied strike. If the investigator’s attack used a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (like a sap, whip, or an unarmed strike), he may choose to have the additional damage from studied strike be nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. If the investigator chose to make an attack with a lethal weapon instead deal nonlethal damage (with the usual –4 penalty), the studied strike damage may also deal nonlethal damage. The investigator must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. An investigator cannot use studied strike against a creature with concealment.

2. As a child it became clear she was a gifted thinker, her mind running well ahead of her teachers and tutors. By 30 she had read every book in the high tops library. One teacher she respected was a blind Drow called Misrank, old and well traveled. He told her of far off lands and cultures. He also showed her how to craft a mind Palace in which to hold facts and information. To this day she used this skill to remember things.
3. Spells she found she had a gift for. She has her own ideas on this. To her it gives her the power to understand things for her work.
4. When she was of age to be married, by family law she could set a challenge for any suitor. She did and it was just to beat her at Elf chess. To this date non have, so she is, under family law unwed.
5. She has been out into the world. Having fought in more than one war. She will always seek to think her way to victory, out smarting and thinking others. Often with a joke. She has no faith in gods seeing them as just more powerful beings just like her.
Two Goals
1. To learn as much as she can, she loves knowledge and problems.
2. Become immortal and all knowing.
Two Secrets [One known/one unknown]
1. She once uncovered a plot to kill her Brother, the now head of the clan. She switched whine with the poisoned to the plotters and her brother drank it. It was they that died, she then spent 3 mouths killing off one by one the ones that did not die then. Her brother knows nothing of this, but her sister dose.
2. It was her sister at the heart of the plot, but she dropped it and dropped the others in it, once she found Zal telling her of it.
Three People [2 friends 1 enemy]
1. Lord Kilvon Lankily, A human noble she likes who she did some investigating for.
2. Black Heart Reena, I female elf gang boss, who hired Zal once. They like each other and have sent some time in each others company.
3. The Orc smuggler "Offolrog", Zal uncovered his undergraund smuggling root and passed the information on. Offolrog has said he will kill Zal should he ever get his big green hands on her.
Three Memories
1. Looking over a murder scene, winter time and the Inn was locked form the inside. 20 dead bodies, most ripped apart, blood frozen to the walls. The wards still intact and no one left alive. A feeling of excitement working out, what had happened.
2. Standing on the deck of a ship in harbor, a large half-orc coming at her. Sword out, face of teeth and anger. She taking two steps to the left and waiting. His breath as he came close, lifting his word, her counting. He stops looking at her, as if to ask Why are you counting then she gets to zero and the small chemical charge going off. The puff of acid and her pointing at the half-orcs feet. Him looking down nonplussed as the deck gave way and he fell into a hold full of fish.
3. A night on the town with Black Heart Reena, getting drunk and into a bar fight. Hiring a bard and singing rude songs all night.
