Great Secret
Specialist
Choose one skill at first level. You make all tests with this skill with a +1 research or competence bonus. The bonus increases to +2 at eighth level, +3 at thirteenth level, and +4 at eighteenth level.
Extra Class Skill
You add an additional skill to your list of class skills.
Bonus Feat
You learn a bonus feat. You must qualify for the feat as normal.
Secret
You can do one of the following with a secret: learn the spells and special abilities of a wizard's school of magic or a clerical domain; learn a class ability from another class. This class ability must be normally available to a character of the same class level as your sage class level. A sage does not cast spells, but can use known spells for the creation of magic items including scrolls and potions. In order to maintain use of the secret, you must study a lorebook for one hour per day as part of an 8 hour rest.
Great Secret
Provided you have studied appropriate lorebooks at least eight hours per day, you gain the use of a feat or class ability that you would not normally have access to. You can use these powers a number of rounds per day equal to 3 + your intelligence modifier. This can be any class ability or feat from any list.
Looks very similar to the Loremaster. Have you considered using that?

Well, its possibly loosely based on it, but a Loremaster is a prestige class, and I want this to be a full 20 level class that is comparable to other (possibly NPC) classes. I've created a few sages in this system and they're unique and memorable characters.
Just to clarify is this supposed to be an NPC class or a PC class?
As it stands it is a bit weak to be a PC class, as in the other case too powerful.Also...Formatting!!
it does what it's meant to do as an NPC, but i don't see it as a PC. that's a good thing tho, innit?
def. not OP
persoanlly I'd just go with expert, maybe mix a few bard levels in, writing a whole new class for npcs is a bit too much trouble xD.
Most of the things can be done with feats just fine.
