Artifact Hunter (Story)

You seek an artifact—either a specific one or merely any item of legendary prowess—with dogged tenacity.

Prerequisite(s): You must have come within sight of a legendary artifact at some point in your past.

Benefit(s): You gain a +2 bonus on Use Magic Device checks when emulating a class feature, ability score, race, or alignment. If you have 10 or more ranks in Use Magic Device, this bonus increases to +4. In addition, once per day, instead of attempting a Use Magic Device check normally, you can choose to determine the result as if you had rolled a 15. If you have 10 or more ranks in Use Magic Device, you can use this ability twice per day.

Goal: Claim ownership of an artifact.

Completion Benefit(s): You learn how to coax the most out of your magic items. Three times per day when you activate a use-activated or command word magic item, you can increase the item’s effective caster level by +2 as a free action. You can use this ability once per round.

Suggested Traits: Dangerously Curious, Fortunate, Secret-Keeper.
