Librarium Curators are, more than anything, the ultimate gatherers of knowledge and skill, able to build up understanding in all manner of areas, and developing talents that allow them to gather knowledge for their library - becoming a jack in all too many trades in the process. | Librarium Curators are, more than anything, the ultimate gatherers of knowledge and skill, able to build up understanding in all manner of areas, and developing talents that allow them to gather knowledge for their library - becoming a jack in all too many trades in the process. | ||

'''Librarian's Miscellany''': Any librarian worth their rubber stamp has read a ''lot'' of books and picked up a lot of random knowledge. This ability works identically to Bardic Knowledge; if the user already has Bardic Knowledge, their Librarium Curator levels stack with their Bard Levels for the purposes of Bardic Knowledge checks. | '''Librarian's Miscellany''': Any librarian worth their rubber stamp has read a ''lot'' of books and picked up a lot of random knowledge.

| + | '''Secrets:''' At 1st level and every two levels higher than 1st (3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th), the Sage chooses one secret from the table below. The character's Sage level plus Intelligence modifier determines which secrets can be learned. He/she can’t choose the same secret twice. Note that this is identical to the Loremaster ability; for a character with both classes, Sage and Loremaster levels stack for the purposes of determining the number of Secrets they may have. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Advanced Study:''' At 2nd level and every two levels afterward (4th, 6th, etc.), the Librarium Curator finishes an Advanced Study based on skills they have acquired. They may choose one Advanced Study that they meet the requirements for, gaining a group of related Skill Focus feats (and occasionally another benefit besides). If a character already has any Skill Focus feat they would acquire through an Advanced Study, they may retrain the old feat immediately (as per the normal retraining rules). | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Sacred Hall''': At 10th level, a Librarium Curator attains a supernatural tie to the knowledge stored within their library, able to protect it from any force that would destroy it. While the Curator is alive and on the same plane as the library, nothing short of divine intervention can damage the library building or the objects of knowledge held in its collection. Items that are ''not'' part of its collection, and people within, are not so protected. | ||
