Thought

Associated Study: Revelation.

Replacement Abilities: The following study abilities replace the breadth of knowledge and the legends untold abilities of the revelation archivist study.

Behavioral Analysis (Ex)

At 2nd level, you gain Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate as class skills. You may use your Intelligence modifier in place of your Charisma modifier when using these skills.

Thought Scour (Sp)

At 14th level, you can read creatures’ minds, as if using seek thoughts, except the save DC is equal to your archivist study save DC. You can do so for a number of minutes per day equal to your Intelligence bonus. This duration does not have to be consecutive, but it must be used in 1-minute increments.

In addition, while reading a creature’s thoughts you may search their mind to determine their general emotional state, learning some basic information about their fears, desires, and so on. While the information you learn is subject to GM discretion, your knowledge causes the creature to take a -4 penalty against the next revelation (thought) script you affect it with in the next minute. Whether or not the creature saves, a creature can only be affected by this penalty once in a 24-hour period.
