Esoterica
-Find Flaws
Use recall knowledge using Cha, if success thru failure, can use esoteric antithesis. Crit success learns all resistances, weakness, immunity, esoteric antithesis can be used without extra action. Success, learn highest weakness, use antithesis w/o extra action. Failure, no extra info, use antithesis as next action. Crit fail, become flat-footed for 1 round, can’t use antithesis
-Esoteric Antithesis
Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature become magical if they weren’t already, and you cause them to apply one of the creature’s weaknesses even if they don’t deal the correct type of damage. If the creature has a weakness with a value of 2 + half your level or higher, set the type of weakness to the creature’s highest weakness. Otherwise, you create a custom weakness with a value equal to 2 + half your level
Implements Interruption:
Trigger:The subject of your Esoteric Antithesis uses a concentrate, manipulate, or move action, or leaves a square during a move action it’s using.
Reaction: Make a Strike against the triggering creature with your weapon implement. If your attack is a critical hit, you disrupt that action. This Strike doesn’t count toward your multiple attack penalty, and your multiple attack penalty doesn’t apply to this Strike.
Implement’s empowerment 4
With one hand free, add listed value to damage rolls
Talisman Esoterica
Make two talismans equal to half level or lower during daily prep, know all talisman formulas equal to level or lower

Rough Background:
Richard was born in the late 1800s, becoming a foremost authority in the United States on global folklore. He was a beloved professor at UC Berkeley, his warm and genial manner earning the fondness of many a student. He grew old and frail, but his mind was sharp and his love for the stories and folklore of the world was a broad as ever.
One day, though, in the middle of a lecture on the ritual clowns of the Hopi, old age caught up to him. He felt his heart give way as he collapsed to the ground.
As he opened his eyes...everything was strange, different. New.
