'''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.

'''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), unless they acquired the feat from another Advanced Study. A user may choose an Advanced Study they do not yet qualify for; if they do so, they do not gain the benefits of that Advanced Study until they have taken enough ranks in the relevant skill, and ''must'' put as many skill points as possible into the skill during level-up.

'''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.
+
'''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), unless they acquired the feat from another Advanced Study.
'''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.

:''Fears'': Earned at 9th level. Grants allies the ability to force a single 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.
+
:''Resistance'': Earned at 9th level. Grants DR 1/- against attacks or abilities used by monsters of the target race. If the Librarium Curator beats the check DC by 10, increase the DR to 2/- if they beat it by 20, increase the bonus to 3/-.
 +
 
 +
'''Steady Talents''': At 10th level, a Librarium Curator is capable of maintaining a steady hand and calm thoughts even under duress; he can always take 10 on a check, even when there are distractions or threats present.
