• Detect magic (જાદુ શોધો) Concentration, up to 1 minute.
• Read magic (જાદુ વાંચો) - You can decipher magical inscriptions on objects – books, scrolls, weapons, and the like – that would otherwise be unintelligible. This deciphering does not normally invoke the magic contained in the writing, although it may do so in the case of a cursed or trapped scroll. Furthermore, once the spell is cast and you have read the magical inscription, you are thereafter able to read that particular writing without recourse to recasting the spell. You can read at the rate of one page (250 words) per minute. The spell allows you to identify a glyph of warding with a DC 13 Spellcraft check, a greater glyph of warding with a DC 16 Spellcraft check, or any symbol spell with a Spellcraft check (DC 10 + spell level).
• Sift (સત્ય હકીકત તારવવી) - You examine an area at range as if you were searching for fine details with the Perception skill. Make a Perception check with a -5 penalty, modified as normal for conditions. No penalty is applied for distance. Apply the result against the DC for any hidden features, such as secret doors, traps, or hidden treasure. You must be able to see the area you are attempting to search, and you only find details that can be perceived with sight or touch. Sift detects only objects and features, not actual creatures.
• Detect Psychic Significance (માનસિક મહત્વ શોધો) - You detect the presence of psychically significant items in your vicinity. Such items are those that might have significant psychic imprints or histories that can be read by the psychometry occult skill unlock or items under the effects of the charged object or implant false reading spells. Items within the range that contain significant psychic energy spark recognition in your mind’s eye, but no other information is imparted. This spell doesn’t automatically detect magic items or strongly aligned items, though such items often have storied histories and might have had previous owners who possessed psychic abilities.

• Telempathic Projection (டெலிம்பதி திட்டம்) - You alter the target’s mood, adjusting its attitude toward you or another creature you designate by one step either positively or negatively (see the Diplomacy skill). You can instead use this spell to assist your own or an ally’s Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Perform, or Sense Motive check, granting that check a +5 insight bonus against the target of your telempathic projection with no save. In this case, the spell’s duration expires immediately when the skill check is complete.
• Detect Thoughts (વિચારો શોધો) - You detect surface thoughts. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area or subject.
••• 1st Round: Presence or absence of thoughts (from conscious creatures with Intelligence scores of 1 or higher).
••• 2nd Round: Number of thinking minds and the Intelligence score of each. If the highest Intelligence is 26 or higher (and at least 10 points higher than your own Intelligence score), you are stunned for 1 round and the spell ends. This spell does not let you determine the location of the thinking minds if you can’t see the creatures whose thoughts you are detecting.
••• 3rd Round: Surface thoughts of any mind in the area. A target’s Will save prevents you from reading its thoughts, and you must cast detect thoughts again to have another chance. Creatures of animal intelligence (Int 1 or 2) have simple, instinctual thoughts.
Each round, you can turn to detect thoughts in a new area. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.

Feats
• Simple weapon Proficiency - You make attack rolls with simple weapons plus the hand crossbow, rapier, sap, shortbow, short sword, and sword cane without penalty.
• Armor Proficiency, Light - When you wear light armor, the armor check penalty for that armor applies only to Dexterity- and Strength-based skill checks.
• Two-Weapon Fighting - Your penalties on attack rolls for fighting with two weapons are reduced. The penalty for your primary hand lessens by 2 and the one for your off hand lessens by 6. See Two-Weapon Fighting.
• Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Battle Cane) - You make attack rolls with a battle cane normally.
• Combat Reflexes - You may make a number of additional attacks of opportunity per round equal to your Dexterity bonus (Total 4). With this feat, you may also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.
• Blind fight - In melee combat, every time you miss because of concealment (see Combat), you can reroll your miss chance percentile roll one time to see if you actually hit.
An invisible attacker gets no advantages related to hitting you in melee. That is, you don’t lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class, and the attacker doesn’t get the usual +2 bonus for being invisible. The invisible attacker’s bonuses do still apply for ranged attacks, however.
You do not need to make Acrobatics skill checks to move at full speed while blinded.
• Counter: Push - You do not provoke an attack of opportunity when performing a bull rush combat maneuver.
• Counter: Disarm - You do not provoke an attack of opportunity when performing a disarm combat maneuver.
• Counter: Haunt Scavenger - You can harvest the ectoplasmic remains of haunts, incorporeal undead, or the like to craft magic items.
Whenever you encounter a recently neutralized haunt, the remains of an incorporeal undead creature, or the remains of a creature that has the ability to possess another creature using a racial spell-like ability or supernatural ability (such as a ghost or a shadow demon), you can attempt to extract material components from those remains that are suitable for crafting magic items. You must have access to an alchemist’s lab in order to extract components from a haunt or creature, and you must begin extracting these components within 10 minutes of the haunt or creature’s death or destruction.
After 10 minutes, the components have degraded too much to be of any use to you.
Harvesting components with this feat can take several hours. Performing at least 1 minute of work extracting components from a haunt or creature prevents its material components from degrading further for 24 hours, allowing you to safely suspend and resume harvesting these components without fear of subsequent degradation. This ectoplasmic residue is portable once the extraction work begins, provided you have a vial to contain the source residue (the actual amount of residue is never much, physically, but the value of the components you can extract from the residue increases with the power of the original haunt or creature).
Each hour, attempt a Craft (alchemy) or a Knowledge (religion) check to successfully handle the residue and extract useful material. The DC for this check is equal to 15 + the CR of the haunt or creature being harvested.
If you succeed at the check, you harvest 50 gp worth of components. If you fail the check by 4 or less, you can attempt to harvest those components again.
If you fail the check by 5 or more, the residue spoils and you cannot scavenge any more from that particular source. A single source can yield a number of components up to a maximum value of 50 gp per point of CR before it is depleted.
Material components harvested with Haunt Scavenger can be used in place of the material components of enchantment or necromancy spells and extracts, provided they are of equal or greater value compared to the spell’s normal material components.
Additionally, they can be used in place of actual gold to fund the construction of a magic item with an enchantment or necromancy aura.

Traits
• Extremely Fashionable - Whenever you are wearing clothing and/or jewelry worth at least 150 gp (and not otherwise covered in gore, sewage, or other things that mar your overall look), you gain a +1 trait bonus on Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate checks. One of these skills (your choice) is a class skill for you.
• Fencer - You gain a +1 trait bonus on attack of opportunity attack rolls made with daggers, swords, and similar bladed weapons.
• Student of Philosophy - You can use your Intelligence modifier in place of your Charisma modifier on Diplomacy checks to persuade others and on Bluff checks to convince others that a lie is true. (This trait does not affect Diplomacy checks to gather information or Bluff checks to feint in combat).
• Student of Saint-Demain - You start with a battle cane and gain a +1 trait bonus on all attacks and combat maneuvers made with such weapons.

Flaws
• Magically Inept - You suffer a -2 penalty on all Spellcraft checks and Use Magic Device checks. You cannot take 10 on Spellcraft checks.
• Spell Futility - You suffer a -3 penalty on caster level checks (1d20 + caster level) made to overcome a creature’s spell resistance.

Drawbacks
• Attached (Mother) - The GM chooses the object of your attachment. Whenever the object of your attachment is either threatened, in danger, or in someone else’s possession, you take a –1 penalty on Will saves and a –2 penalty on saves against fear effects. If the person or object to which you’re attached is ever lost, killed, or destroyed, exchange this drawback for the Doubt drawback.
• Vain - Whenever you fail an opposed Charisma-based check, you take a –2 penalty on all Charisma-based checks for the next 24 hours.

Class Abilities
• Psychic Detective Spells - A psychic detective casts psychic spells drawn from the psychic class spell list and augmented by a select set of additional spells (see Psychic Detective Spells). Only spells from the psychic class spell list of 6th level or lower and psychic detective spells are considered to be part of the psychic detective’s spell list. If a spell appears on both the psychic detective and psychic class spell lists, the psychic detective uses the spell level from the psychic detective spell list. She can cast any spell she knows without preparing it ahead of time. To learn or cast a spell, a psychic detective must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell’s level. The saving throw DC against a psychic detective’s spell is 10 + the spell’s level + the psychic detective’s Intelligence modifier. Like other spellcasters, a psychic detective can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. She knows the same number of spells and receives the same number of spells slots per day as a bard of her investigator level, and knows and uses 0-level knacks as a bard uses cantrips. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Intelligence score. At the 5th level and every 3 levels thereafter, a psychic detective can choose to learn a new spell in place of one she already knows, using the same rules as a bard. In effect, the psychic detective 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 psychic detective can cast. A psychic detective need not prepare her spells in advance. She can cast any psychic detective spell she knows at any time, assuming she has not yet used up her allotment of spells per day for the spell’s level.
Psychic Detective Spells: A psychic detective has the following spells on her spell list, in addition to psychic spells of 6th level or lower.
1st—Detect chaos, detect evil, detect good, detect law, find traps.
3rd—Calm spirit*, daylight.
4th—Modify memory.
6th—Banishment, a moment of prescience, scrying (greater).
• Inspiration - (4/4) 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 of 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.
• Mastermind's Inspiration - A mastermind can use inspiration on Diplomacy and Intimidate checks without expending a use of inspiration, but can’t do so for Linguistics or Spellcraft checks.
• A Quiet Word - A mastermind’s reputation precedes him. At 1st level, once per day a mastermind can spend 10 minutes preparing an ally to make a single Diplomacy or Intimidate check (mastermind’s choice when preparing the ally) within the next 24-hour period at the mastermind’s behest. This skill check uses the mastermind’s skill ranks instead of the ally’s. The mastermind’s affected ally still uses its own ability bonus for the check. Furthermore, when a mastermind uses this ability, he can expend one use of inspiration to give an ally use of the inspiration die when making the check. At the 3rd level, a mastermind can use this ability an additional time each day, and the number of times he can use this ability per day increases by 1 for every third level thereafter. Multiple uses of this ability on the same ally grant that ally the benefit of additional Diplomacy or Intimidate checks. At the 12th level, a mastermind can use this ability to bestow on his ally the use of his skill ranks, similar to the 1st-level effects of this ability but with a wider range of skills to choose from. The mastermind can only bestow this for a skill check that he can use inspiration on without expending uses of inspiration. For instance, a mastermind with the underworld inspiration talent can bolster his ally’s Bluff, Disable Device, Disguise, or Sleight of Hand skill checks, selecting a single skill for each use of the ability.
• Occult Skill Unlocks
••• Psychometry - You can read the psychic impressions left on objects or in places by previous owners and events.
Once per day, you can concentrate for 1 minute while in physical contact with an item or location, during which you receive flashes of insight regarding the subject’s nature and ownership. After 1 minute, you attempt a DC 15 Appraise check to decipher the visions. You gain one piece of information about the historical significance, or the last previous owner—such as a glimpse of the last owner’s appearance or its emotional state when it last used the item—determined by the GM. You learn one more piece of information for every 10 by which your check result exceeds the DC, as long as you concentrate for 1 additional minute for each piece of information. If you fail the check by less than 5 or the item has no significant psychic imprint, you don’t learn any information. If you fail this check by 5 or more, the item appears to be psychically significant even if it’s not, and the information you gain is wildly inaccurate.
If you attempt to use psychometry on an item affected by a charged object or implant false reading, you automatically learn all information imprinted by the spell. You must also attempt a Will save. If the item is affected by an implant false reading spell, on a success, you realize the information was false and can determine the true information as well. On a failure, or if the item is affected by a charge object spell, you believe the information is true.
••• Read Aura - Your psychic sensitivity allows you to read the psychic and magical auras of creatures and objects.
Once per day, you can examine the natural aura of a creature or object to discern the subject’s alignment, emotions, health, or magic. This requires 10 minutes of concentration, after which you attempt a Perception check. Each time, you must pick one of four auras to read: alignment, emotion, health, or magic. The result of the check applies only to the selected aura. You must be within 30 feet of the subject at all times during the reading.
Objects typically have only magic auras, though some also have alignment auras (and intelligent items have emotion auras). You can still attempt to detect a type of aura an object doesn’t have, but you get no results. The DC varies depending on the aura, as shown in the table.
Read Alignment Aura: You attempt to read the alignment aura, learning the alignment and its strength. An alignment aura’s strength depends on the creature’s Hit Dice or item’s caster level, as noted in the description of the detect evil spell.
Read Emotion Aura: The colors within the target’s aura reveal their emotional state. If successful, you learn the target’s disposition and its attitude toward any creatures within 30 feet of it. For a number of rounds equal to the amount by which you exceeded the skill check’s DC, You gain a +2 circumstance bonus on Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate and Sense Motive checks against the target.
Read Health Aura: Viewing the flow of vital force, you assess a creature’s physical condition. You learn if the creature is unharmed or wounded if it is poisoned or diseased, and whether it is affected by any of the following conditions: confused, disabled, dying, nauseated, panicked, staggered, stunned, and unconscious. You also learn the total number of points available in its ki pool, grit pool, or similar resource.
Read Magic Aura: You attempt to determine the number and power of all magical auras on a target creature or object (see detect magic to determine a magic aura’s power). If the check is successful, you can attempt Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft checks to determine the school or identify the properties of a magic item, as normal. If the item is affected by Magic aura or a similar spell, you can realize this and determine the actual properties of the item if your check result exceeds the DC by 5 or more. If the spell is of a higher level (such as aura alteration), increase this threshold DC by 2 for every spell level beyond 1st.
••• Prognostication - You are skilled in means of folk divination. The most common methods are cartomancy (reading cards), cheiromancy (reading a creature’s palms), crystallomancy (crystal-gazing), extispicy (reading animal entrails), horoscopy (reading a creature’s birth stars), oneiromancy (interpreting dreams), osteomancy (reading cast bones), and pyromancy (reading flames).
Once per day, you can predict a creature’s fortune for the near future. You spend 10 minutes interpreting the divination means at your disposal. The GM then attempts a secret Sense Motive check with a DC modified by the subject’s Hit Dice (see the table below). The result of the check can give you a basic insight into the subject’s nature, including its alignment, class, and levels or Hit Dice, and might reveal clues to the creature’s immediate future.
Determining the immediate future as an augury spell has a chance of successfully interpreting meaningful readings equal to 60% plus 5% for every point by which the check result exceeds the DC (to a maximum of 90%). With a single check, you determine all the information whose DC you meet.
For instance, if you had a result of 22 when telling the fortune of a creature with 2 HD, you would learn that creature’s alignment and class, but not its level, HD, or fortune.
••• Phrenology - You examine the skulls of intelligent creatures to analyze the subjects’ psychological attributes since the shape of the brain influences the shape of the skull.
Once per day, you can use your fingertips to examine the shape of a creature’s skull. Reading a creature’s skull requires 1 minute of concentration and scrutiny while
You physically manipulate the skull. This technique can be used on a willing, helpless, or paralyzed creature, or on decomposed remains (as long as the skull is intact or can be pieced together). This skill can’t be used on creatures without discernible skulls, such as constructs, elementals, oozes, or plants. After the minute is up, the GM attempts a secret Knowledge (arcana) check. The DC is typically modified by the subject’s Hit Dice. With a single check, You determine all the information whose DC you meet.
For instance, if you had a result of 22 when examining a creature with 2 HD, you would learn that creature’s race and age, gender, alignment, and class, but not it's level or HD.
••• Hypnotism - You use the power of suggestion and subtle psychic influence to alter a subject’s mind and dredge up repressed memories.
You can use hypnotism once per day. The DC of a Diplomacy check to hypnotize is 20 + the subject’s Will save modifier against mind-affecting enchantment (compulsion) effects. All uses of hypnotism are mind-affecting enchantment (compulsion) effects.
Implant Suggestion: You can implant a suggested course of reasonable action in the mind of a willing creature, along with a defined trigger. To implant a suggestion, you spend 1 minute inducing a trance-like state in the subject, after which you attempt a Diplomacy check. If the check is successful, You implant the course of action, as a suggestion spell with a duration of 10 minutes plus 10 additional minutes for every 1 by which your check result exceeds the DC. If the subject ceases to be willing, it can attempt a Will save once each round to shake off the effects. The save DC is equal to 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Charisma modifier. You can attempt to subtly implant a suggestion in the mind of an unwilling creature with an attitude of indifference or better after 1 minute of continuous, calm interaction with that creature, but the DC is 10 higher.
Recall Memory: You can draw out forgotten memories from a willing subject. You spend 1 minute inducing a calming, trance-like state in the subject, after which you attempt a Diplomacy check. If you succeed at the check, the hypnotized creature can reroll any previously failed Intelligence or Knowledge check to recall the forgotten information with a +4 bonus. The information must be something the subject once knew or was exposed to.
••• Faith Healing - You apply esoteric principles to temporarily suspend or remove curses, diseases, and ability damage.
You can use faith healing once per day. The DC and effect of the Heal check depend on the task you attempt. You can’t use faith healing on yourself.
Restore Vitality: You suppress ability damage. You perform a 1-hour ceremony, after which you attempt a Heal check against the DC of the effect that caused the ability damage.
If you succeed at the check, you temporarily suppress 1 point of ability damage for 1 hour, plus 1 additional point and hour for every 5 by which the check result exceeds the DC. A creature can benefit from this treatment no more than once per day.
Suspend Affliction: You treat one curse, disease, or poison affecting a creature. You enter into a deep trance for 1 hour while you treat the subject, after which you attempt your Heal check. If the check is successful, you suspend the effects of the affliction by 1 hour, plus 1 hour for every 5 by which you exceed the DC. This time doesn’t count against the effect’s duration (if any). The affliction can still be cured by other means while it’s suspended.
Remove Affliction: You can attempt to permanently remove an affliction in an 8-hour ceremony, after which you attempt a Heal check. If the result of the check is at least double the DC of the original affliction, the sufferer can attempt another saving throw using the original DC to permanently cast off the effect.
••• Dowsing - You channel mysterious forces in the nearby environment to locate hidden resources.
Once per day, you can follow a dowsing rod’s movements to locate a particular type of location. Each attempt requires 10 minutes of intense concentration, after which you attempt the Survival check with the DC listed in the table below. The maximum range at which you can detect anything using dowsing is 400 feet + 40 feet per rank in Survival you possess. The rod’s directions persist for up to 10 minutes. You choose a particular target each time you dowse and get the following information on a successful check.
Find Water: The dowsing rod points toward the largest source of freshwater within range, including aquifers, lakes, ponds, and springs.
Grave Dowsing: The dowsing rod points in the direction of the largest burial site, cairn, or tomb within range.
Locate Metal and Gems: You concentrate on a specific metal or mineral. On a successful check, the dowsing rod points to the largest quantity of the selected mineral within range.
••• Automatic Writing - You can produce mysterious writing that pertains to the immediate future, either under the influence of enigmatic guiding spirits or by unleashing your subconscious intuition.
Once per week, you can spend 1-hour posing questions while your hand unconsciously scribbles messages of varying legibility and accuracy. At the end of this hour, You attempt a Linguistics check to decipher the meanings of these messages. If successful, you gain information as though you had used augury. If you have 10 or more ranks in Linguistics, you can attempt a higher DC check to instead gain information as though you had used divination. The chance of successfully producing coherent or meaningful writing from any of these effects equals 60% plus 5% for every 1 by which your check result exceeds the DC (to a maximum of 90%). You must choose which DC you’ll try to meet before attempting the check. The GM rolls the check and percentage roll secretly so that you can’t tell whether the messages are accurate.

Racial Abilities
• Silver tounged - Humans are often adept at subtle manipulation and putting even sworn foes at ease. Humans with this trait gain a +2 bonus on Diplomacy and Bluff checks. In addition, when they use Diplomacy to shift a creature’s attitude, they can shift up to three steps up rather than just two.

Sin
• Pride - Dazzling Blade - Dazzling blade makes a weapon appear dazzlingly shiny as if crafted from pure silver and heavily polished. In combat, the flashing movements of a dazzling blade become almost hypnotic. The wielder of a weapon under the effects of Dazzling Blade gains a +1 competence bonus on all Bluff checks made to feint in combat. The wielder also gains a +1 competence bonus on all CMB checks made to disarm a foe and a +1 competence bonus to his CMD against disarm attempts made against the weapon bearing the dazzling blade effect. This bonus increases by +1 for every 3 caster levels, to a maximum bonus of +5 at the 12th level.
The wielder of a dazzling blade can discharge the spell into a blinding burst of silvery light as a free action. The wielder selects an adjacent opponent as the focal point of this burst of light—that creature must make a Will save to avoid being blinded for 1 round (with a successful save, the creature is instead dazzled for 1 round).
Despite its shiny appearance, a dazzling blade grants no extra benefit against creatures that are vulnerable to silver.

Satinder was born in the region now known as Droaam. His mother, Denala, was a local tribeswoman, and his father was a Brelish military officer stationed there. When Satinder was 6 years old, the territory fell to hags and monsters, with Denala's tribe rioting against Brelish troops in support of their new monstrous masters, and the family fled back to Breland proper. Unfortunately, Sharn society rejected his refugee wife and son, seeing them as evidence of unpatriotic sympathies. In order to provide for and protect his family while pursuing his political goals, he bought a share in the Sandpoint lumbermill and established Satinder's mother as a part-owner of the mill, but from that point on had very little contact with them, going so far as to ask Denala to never speak his name to Satinder again.

Satinder grew up in Sandpoint a known bastard, with some money but no title. His mother told him that his father was an important Brelish official who loved them both very much but had to send them away to safety while he "fought" in the King's Court to make Breland a better place. It wasn't long before he became friends with Sandpoint's antiquarian, Aemon Grahame. Grahame saw in Satinder a bright young mind, and became Satinder's tutor and mentor through his adolescence. When Satinder was 14, Grahame arranged for him to have an unconventional apprenticeship with the Sharn Inquisitive, Victor Saint-Demain. Satinder went away to Sharn for five years, learning to think like an inquisitive under Saint-Demain's aloof tutelage. During this time, he also fell in love with the schemes, scandals, and intrigue of Sharn's upper crust. He distanced himself from his tribal and provincial roots, altering his dress and mannerisms to fit in with Sharn high society.

He also surreptitiously began digging into the backgrounds of Sharn's elite, searching for any clues that might give him the true identity of his father. In his search, he accidentally unearthed evidence of criminal activity that implicated many of Sharn's most rich and powerful. Within days of his discovery, Satinder was politely but firmly invited to return to Sandpoint and offered an official position as an aide to Mayor Deverin, with subtle but dire threats of the consequences if he should ever divulge what he had learned.

Satinder's return to Sandpoint was infuriating. After everything he had learned, the skills he had developed, the contacts he had cultivated, to be reduced to nothing more than a glorified clerk was nothing short of galling. He has tried to make the best of things, but his relationships are beginning to strain under the weight of his bitterness. He recently moved out of his mother's home, taking a permanent room at the White Deer instead. More than anything, he wants to find a way to prove that he deserves to be back in Sharn, rubbing shoulders with the elite and searching for his father.

Since coming home, his best friend has been young Tsuto Kaijitso. Satinder sees Tsuto undergoing much of the same torments that he endured as a child, with the added blessing and curse of a present father who happened to despise his existence. Lately, he has found himself stepping into an older brother role for Tsuto, which has also brought him into closer contact with Tsuto's sister Ameiko. Ameiko is one of the few people in town for whom he tempers his bitterness, and while his motives may be impure he is undeniably a better person when he's around her. Denala, while initially mistrusted and shunned for her nationality and circumstances, has become well-liked by most of the town, her genial nature and fair dealings overcoming the town's early perceptions of her. She currently has Satinder's old room available to rent.

What does your character lie about?
Satinder lies about who he is, but the lie changes depending on who's listening. When he was a young boy in Sandpoint, he made up extravagant stories about his father's exploits - partially to combat the cruelty of the other children, but also to comfort himself. In Sharn, he lied about his roots entirely, glossing over his mother's heritage and his origins in first Droaam and then Sandpoint. Since his humiliating return to Sandpoint, he obscures the circumstances of his ejection from Sharn.

What is your defining strength?
Satinder's greatest strength is undoubtedly his keen mind. Despite his character flaws, he truly is brilliant, and he chafes at not being able to put that brilliance to use.

What is your motto?
"Power is a function of perception."

What is your most treasured possession?
At this time, his most treasured possession is a cane given to him as a parting gift by his mentor, Victor. The shaft is black-stained walnut, with a silver hawks-head for the grip. As much as he loves it, it usually stays in his room at the White Deer. He knows that such finery would be grossly out of place in Sandpoint.

Satinder enjoys a good glass of wine, though he feels that he hasn't actually found one since coming back to Sandpoint.

Who are your characters' heroes? Did they love the stories their mum read them when they were kids of Matthias the Blackhanded, who was redeemed from his wicked ways when he sacrificed himself to save the city of Tellmoradon? Or was Tira Yronforged, the champion of battle of the rails, your favorite hero to read about in the newsprints during the Last War?
Satinder's most obvious hero is his recent mentor, Victor Saint-Demain. The master inquisitive lived up to his legend in every way, and then some. A little deeper, though,

“If you’re the ambassador, I’m the Lord of Blades. Now, how about the truth?”

—Creilath Movanek, half-elf master inquisitive

As a resident of one of Khorvaire’s great cities, you’ve spent far too much time immersed in its shadows. You’ve seen it
all, and nothing fazes you anymore.

Adventuring: Adventuring, to you, is all about investigating crimes and making sure the criminals get what they’re due. You probe murders, find missing people, stop blackmailers, and break up smuggling rings. Your investigations are not necessarily limited to such mundane problems: You might unmask a rakshasa posing as a city councilor, find the possessed an ancient mask that forced the professor to commit all those grisly murders or dispel the magic keeping the house scion’s son in his comatose slumber. This archetype is best suited for a campaign with a limited geographical scope, whether it takes place in a single metropolis (such as Sharn) or hops from city to city. Occasional adventures might take you out into the wilderness, but you’re most at home in dark alleys and bustling roadways.
