'''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. | '''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.

| + | |||
| + | '''Librarium's Data''': A Librarium Curator knows monsters as he knows many other items of study, understanding weaknesses that he can communicate to a party. The ability works somewhat similarly to an Archivist's Dark Knowledge, but with different specifics; neither can be used as supply for the other. | ||
| + | :The Librarium Curator declares which Librarium's Data ability they are using, then makes a Knowledge check of a type apppropriate to the creature (DM's discretion, but usually Arcana relates to magical beasts, Dungeoneering to Abberrations, Religion to Undead, and The Planes to Outsiders and Elementals - adjudicate other types as you see fit). Doing so is a swift action, and doubles as a standard knowledge check for the creature, possibly revealing other information. The DC of the check is 15 - however, many Librarium's Data abilities benefit from attaining significantly higher results. Only one Librarium's Data ability may be used on any one creature per encounter. Effects normally last for one minute. | ||
| + | :''Tactics'': Grants a +1 bonus to attack rolls against monsters of the target race. If the Librarium Curator beats the check DC by 10, increase the bonus to +2; if they beat it by 20, increase the bonus to +3. | ||
| + | :''Openings'': Earned at 3rd level. Grants a +1 bonus to damage rolls against monsters of the target race. For every 5 that the Librarium Curator beats the check DC by, increase the damage bonus by +1. | ||
| + | :''Vulnerabilities'': Earned at 5th level. Grants +1d6 damage against one target monster. If the Librarium Curator beats the check DC by 10, increase the damage bonus to +2d6; if they beat it by 20, increase the bonus to 3d6. | ||
| + | :''Attack Patterns'': Earned at 7th level. Grants +1 AC against attacks made by monsters of the target race. If the Librarium Curator beats the check DC by 10, increase the bonus to +2; if they beat it by 20, increase the bonus to +3. | ||
| + | :''Fears'': Earned at 9th level. Grants allies the ability to force a target to flee or cower. The Librarium Curator must beat the check DC by 10; forcing a target to flee or cower is then a standard action that requires an Intimidate check at DC 20. The target is compelled to flee or cower until the start of the Intimidating creature's next turn. | ||
