The text of Deflection Aura says:

Deflection Aura (Su): Once each day, you can emit a 20- foot aura for a number of rounds equal to your cleric level. Allies within the aura gain a +2 deflection bonus to AC and combat maneuver defense.

However, it doesn't say if activating the aura is a Full-Round Action, a Move Action, a Standard Action, a Free Action, a Swift Action or an Immediate Action

Which one is it?

I think it's reasonable to assume the bonus is half his Bard level, that's what the other skill bonus substitutions seem to be in the APG.

Lamentable Belabourment does seem to be much more Suggestion-like.

I would also love to know if if the Archivist was intended to be unable to take 10 on trained Knowledge checks. Since we have to ID a creature to use Naturalist performance, gambling on a low roll hurts.

Lore Master: take 10 on trained Knowledge checks, and take 20 1/day.
Archivist Lore Master: take 20 1/day.

No one?

The three issues were:

Lamentable Belabourment substitutes an ability 3 levels higher, when it seems like it should be substituting suggestion.

Magic Lore states you get a bonus to spellcraft but doesn't quantify that bonus.

The Archivist Lore Master can't take 10 on knowledge checks - Is this an oversight or a design choice?

Lamentable Belabourment is listed as a 6th level ability for the Archivist Bard, and the text says that it substitutes a 9th level ability (Inspire Greatness), which doesn't make much sense since all other alternative abilities for all other classes substitute abilities at the same level.

However, Suggestion is a 6th level ability and at 18th level, the improved version of Lamentable Belabourment substitutes Mass Suggestion.

And the mechanic of Lamentable Belabourment is a lot more like Suggestion than Inspire Greatness.

Can I assume that it was a typo and Lamentable Belabourment is supposed to substitute Suggestion instead? Is there some sort of errata correcting this or can I get an official answer in that regard?

Thanks.

(Also, Magic Lore states that the Archivist gets a bonus on Spellcraft checks to identify magic items, but it doesn't say what that bonus is. "Magic Lore (Ex): At 2nd level, an archivist gains a bonus on Spellcraft checks to identify magic items or decipher scrolls and may take 10 on such checks.")

Say someone has 7 Int.

If they were a Dwarf Fighter, they should get 0 skill points per level, but since 1 is the minimum they get 1.

However, what happens if they are a human? Do they get 2 (The minimum plus the human bonus), or do they get 1 (2[base]-2[int]+1[human])

I added another question to the original post, about the sling staff working with the warslinger trait.

(Thanks for the fast answers btw)

With Critical Mastery I can apply the effects of two critical feats on a critical.
Does that mean that I can apply Bleeding Critical twice in the same hit? Or am I required to choose two separate critical feats?
I must say I see nothing stopping me from adding Bleeding Critical twice, am I wrong?

Halfling Sling Staffs work with the Warslinger halfling trait on the advanced player's guide?

Also, can I apply Power Attack to a Sunder? I was wondering whether I could or not since in Pathfinder it is a Combat Maneuver and not an attack roll.

Finally, is it possible to score a critical hit while attempting a Combat Maneuver? I'd assume not since items are usually immune to critical hits, but what about Greater Sunder where I am dealing the remaining of the damage to the creature?
