make a check for any Knowledge skill he does not possess, he may do so untrained using his Wisdom modifier, rather than his Intelligence modifier. He may only take 10 or 20 on this roll if provided with a reasonable amount of resources and reference material (such as the resources found in the Grand Library) and takes a few hours to do the research. At 4th level and every three levels thereaer, an academician gains an additional +1 bonus (+1 at 4th level, +2 at 7th level, and +3 at 10th level). Whenever an academician makes a Knowledge check in a skill with which he has ranks, he doubles the sage lore bonus for that check. Bonus Feats (Ex) Starting at 2nd level, and every four levels thereaer, the academician gains a bonus feat from the following list: Alertness, Iron Will, Odd Man Out*, Polyglot*, Run, Scribe Scroll, Skill Focus, Smooth Talker*, Speedy Recovery*, or any metamagic feat. An academician must meet all prerequisites for a bonus feat. Feats marked with an “*” are described in Chapter Ten: Skills & Feats in this book. Copy Scroll (Su) At 3rd-level, the academician may copy arcane and divine spell scrolls without triggering the spell from the original in the process. To do so requires a successful Knowledge (arcana) or Knowledge (religion) check (DC 20 + twice the spell’s level), along with a Concentration check (DC 15 + twice the spell’s level). Failure on either check destroys the original scroll and ruins the materials for the copy. Copying a scroll entails paying half the scroll’s normal XP cost, although none of the spell’s unusual components are necessary. The gp cost is the same as outlined in the Scribe Scroll feat. The time required is one day per 250 gp of the scroll’s market price. Identify (Sp) At 5th-level, the academician can aempt to identify a magical item, as if she had cast the identify spell. She must study the object for one hour. She can use this spell-like ability a number of times per day equal to her Intelligence modifier. Cast Written Spells (Su) Starting at 8th-level, the academician can cast a spell directly from a wizard’s spellbook, a scroll (arcane or divine), or a similar wrien Chapter Nine: Prestige Classes 93 source of magic. Casting the spell requires a successful Knowledge (arcana) check (DC 20 + twice the spell’s level). In addition, the academician must spend twice as long in the spell’s casting (e.g., if the spell has a casting time of one standard action, the academician must spell a full-round action to cast it). Furthermore, the academician must pay 50 XP per spell level cast (25 XP for 0-level spells), plus any normal XP costs for casting the spell. If the aempt fails, roll again against the same DC: success means nothing adverse happens and the magic’s power remains unleashed; a failure results in wild mystical energy being unleashed, dealing damage equal to the amount by which he failed the initial roll times the spell level. A successful Will save (DC 10 + the spell’s level + amount the initial spellcasting roll was failed by) halves damage. For example, failing to meet the Knowledge (arcana) DC by 4 while casting a 3rd-level spell means that the academician suffers 12 points of damage. If he makes a Will save (DC 17 [10 + 3 + 4]), then only 6 points of damage are taken. Dragon Disciple Rarer than dragons themselves, these hybrids are considered more fantasy than fact. The masses believe some manner of nigh-omniscient wisdom is inherent to the disciples, and so they grant them respect and reverence that the dragon disciples may not have earned. Viewing them as tainted by magic, the See and Inquisition of Swords never pause when confronting a dragon disciple. Duelist Meleatan with its raucous port life, Dreĳ with its bored and wealthy youth, and the capital itself with its bounty of pompous nobility, are all well known for producing skilled (if not always particularly smart) duelists. In fact, many cities contain dueling clubs where fencers hone their art. Most duchies prohibit dueling for anything but sport, but illegal dueling pits, where death is the loser’s reward, exist in nearly all cities. Dwarven Defender Paragons of dwarven ideals and order, these stalwart warriors are common around Nolmedron and the surrounding hills and mountains, but rarer the farther one travels from the Dwarf Hold. With times as perilous and volatile as they are, most of these devoted soldiers stay close to home or tied to important dwarf interests abroad. Eldritch Knight Among the witchfinders’ greatest foes, many of these warriorwizards work to usurp the See’s hold on Vas. Many a witchfinder died at the hands of what he thought was nothing more than a “mere spellcaster” robbed of his magic until wandering within a sword’s length of his “helpless prey.” Throughout the rest of the Archduchy, eldritch knights are treated in much the same manner as are wizards and sorcerers, although the rising number aending the Daelian War College in recent years improves their image with those outside of the holy city. Gavrinn Farr, the Defenders of Wellness Existing in symbiotic brotherhood with the nearby monastery of the Motith Farr (see page 98), the monks of the Gavrinn Farr began as
94 defenders of pilgrims traveling to the Pleardys area. Since those times, they expanded their purpose to wandering the land protecting the innocent and oppressed wherever they may be found. Despite their noble cause, many people fear the monks’ odd abilities so the Gavrinn Farr conceal their powers and disguise their faces. Like the Motith Farr, the Defenders of Wellness subscribe to a philosophy of non-violence, but realize one must occasionally resort to physical might to preserve the health of the spirit or body. To this end, the Gavrinn Farr train to be proficient warriors, although they hope never to use their martial knowledge. Hit Die: d8.
