When I think back to my days in fantasy 101 there were always sages who could just look at you and delve all sorts of knowledge about quests, items, artifacts, etc.
So last year in my first attempt to be in RPG superstar (failed horribly btw) I prepped this as a possible archetype for round 2. It got lost in my computer after I didn't make it through the first round, and I was cleaning up files and thought why not post it.
Thanks for taking a look, and I welcome all constructive feedback.
Sage Archetype (Wizard)
Sage Knowledge (Ex): A sage adds half his class level (minimum 1) to all Knowledge and Spellcraft skill checks and may make all Knowledge skill checks untrained. Replaces Scribe Scroll.
Sage Bond (Su): At 1st level the sage gains Identify as a bonus spell in their spell book at 1st level. They may spontaneously cast the spell by sacrificing a prepared spell in a spell slot of at least 1st level. At 6th level the sage gains the ability to cast Identify as a Spell Like Ability a number of times per day equal to their intelligence modifier. At 11th level they add Legend Lore to their spell book as a bonus spell and may spontaneously cast it by sacrificing a prepared spell in a spell slot of at least 6th level. At 16th level the sage gains the ability to cast Legend Lore as a Spell Like Ability 1/day. Replaces Arcane Bond
Lore Master (Ex): At 5th level, the Sage becomes a master of lore and can take 10 on any Spellcraft or Knowledge skill check that he has ranks in. A sage can choose not to take 10 and can instead roll normally. In addition, once per day, the sage can take 20 on any Spellcraft or Knowledge skill check as a standard action. He can use this ability one additional time per day for every six levels he possesses beyond 5th, to a maximum of three times per day at 17th level. Replaces 5th Level Bonus Feat
I like it. It gives a wizard the chance to be as knowledgable as a bard. More so, actually.
Thanks Atzen.
