Channel Energy (10d6) (Su): Nibutani can release a wave of energy by channeling the
power of her faith through her holy symbol. This energy can be used to channels
positive energy and can choose to deal damage to undead creatures or to heal living
creatures. Channeling energy causes a burst that affects all creatures of one type (either
undead or living) in a 30-foot radius centered on Nibutani. Creatures that take damage
from channeled energy receive a Will save to halve the damage. The DC of this save is
equal to 10 + 1/2 Nibutani’s Caster Level + Nibutani’s Charisma modifier. Creatures
healed by channeled energy cannot exceed their maximum hit point total, all excess
healing is lost. Nibutani may channel energy a number of times per day equal to her
Charisma modifier. This is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of
opportunity. Nibutani can choose whether or not to include herself in this effect.
Nibutani can sacrifice channel energy turns and translate them to turn undead turns
instead. Nibutani must be able to present his holy symbol to use this ability.
Lore (Ex): Thanks to long hours of study, Nibutani has a wide range of stray
knowledge. This ability is identical to the bard's bardic knowledge class feature, using
the cloistered cleric's class level in place of the bard level. With at least 5 ranks in
Knowledge (History) Nibutani gets a +2 bonus on this check.
Turn Undead (12) (Su): Nibutani has the power to affect undead creatures (such as
skeletons, zombies, ghosts, and vampires) by channeling the power of her faith
through her holy symbol and turn or destroy undead creatures. Nibutani may attempt
to turn undead a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier. With at
least 5 ranks in Knowledge (religion) Nibutani gets a +2 bonus on turning checks
against undead.
Dark Knowledge: Eight times per day, Nibutani can draw upon her expansive
knowledge.
Using dark knowledge requires a Knowledge check of a type appropriate to the creature
faced. A Knowledge (arcana) check reveals secrets of magical beasts, dragons and
constructs, Knowledge (dungeoneering) pertains to aberrations, Knowledge (religion)
covers undead, and Knowledge (the planes) applies to outsiders and elementals. The
DC of the check is 15. Dark knowledge can only be used once against any given
creature.
Nibutani 's dark knowledge can affect a single creature or all creatures of the same race,
depending on the effect used. A target creature must be within 60 feet, and Nibutani
must be aware of the creature's presence, although she need not have a line of sight to it.
The effects of dark knowledge last for 1 minute, unless stated otherwise.
Tactics: Nibutani knows the general combat behaviors of creatures of that race,
granting her allies a +1 bonus to attack rolls made against them. If Nibutani
succeeds on her Knowledge check by 10 or more, then this bonus increases to
+2. If she succeeds on his Knowledge check by 20 or more, then this bonus
increases to +3.
Puissance: Nibutani can use her dark knowledge to help fight off the corrupting
influence of creatures. Allies within 60 feet of Nibutani gain a +1 bonus on
saving throws against the affected creature's abilities. If Nibutani succeeds on
her Knowledge check by 10 or more, this bonus increases to +2. If she succeeds
on her Knowledge check by 20 or more, this bonus increases to +3.
Foe: Nibutani can direct her allies to attack vital spots of her enemies. On a
successful Knowledge check, she grants them a bonus to weapon damage rolls
made against the target creatures equal to 1d6 points of damage. If Nibutani
succeeds on her Knowledge check by 10 or more, then this bonus increases to
2d6. If the archivist succeeds on her Knowledge check by 20 or more, then this
bonus increases to 3d6.
Dread Secret: By speaking aloud a dread secret of the target creature, Nibutani
can dazzle a target creature for 1 round. Unlike other dark knowledge, this
ability can be used only against a single creature. If the archivist succeeds on her
Knowledge check by 10 or more, then the target is dazed for 1 round. If the
archivist succeeds on her Knowledge check by 20 or more, then the target is
stunned for 1 round (if the target is immune to being stunned but not immune to
being dazed, such as most undead, then Nibutani can choose to daze the target
instead of stunning it).
Foreknowledge: Nibutani can better prepare her allies for the attacks of the
affected creature, making it harder for the creature to land blows and
successfully deal damage. Allies within 30 feet of Nibutani gain a +1 insight
bonus to Armor Class that applies to attacks by the affected creature only. If the
Nibutani succeeds on his Knowledge check by 10 or more, this bonus increases
to +2. If Nibutani succeeds on his Knowledge check by 20 or more, this bonus
increases to +3.
Lore Mastery: Nibutani has a +2 bonus to all Decipher Script checks and to all checks
of her Knowledge Local, Arcana and Dungeoneering skills.
Still Mind (Ex): Nibutani has a+2 bonus on saving throws against spells and effects
from the enchantment school, due to her rigorous focus and intense mental discipline.
Oracle Domain: Nibutani has access to the Oracle domain. She has a +2 caster level
for divination spells, and has spells in that domain as her daily domain spells.
Scry Bonus (Su): Nibutani adds a +1 sacred bonus to the save DC of all her divination
(scrying) spells.
Prescient Sense (Ex): When Nibutani makes a successful Reflex saving throw against
an attack that normally inflicts half damage on a successful save (such as a red dragon’s
fiery breath or a fireball spell), she instead takes no damage, since her prescience
allowed her to get out of the way faster. This form of evasion works no matter what
armor the divine oracle wears, unlike the evasion ability used by monks and rogues.
Trap Sense (Ex): Nibutani has an intuitive sense that alerts her to danger from traps,
giving her a +2 bonus on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +2 dodge bonus to AC
against attacks by traps..
Divination Enhancement (Ex): Nibutani may roll twice and take the better result
when using divination spells such as augury or divination.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Nibutani has the
ability to react to danger before her senses
would normally allow her to do so. Nibutani
retains her Dexterity modifier to AC (if any)
regardless of being caught flat-footed or
struck by an invisible attacker. She still
loses her Dexterity modifier to AC if
immobilized.
Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Nibutani
can’t be flanked, since she can react to
opponents on opposite sides of her as easily
as she can react to a single attacker. This
defense denies rogues the ability to use flank
attacks to sneak attack her. The exception to
this defense is when an attacker has at least
4 more rogue levels than Nibutani has divine
oracle levels.
Anticipate (Su): Because she is reading her foe's thoughts, Nibutani knows where she
needs to block and how she needs to dodge before an attack from the foe arrives. In
addition, Nibutani can detect weak points in a foe's defense by observing her enemy's
thoughts. Nibutani can add 5 point of Charisma bonus as a bonus to her Armor Class
against attacks from a foe whose surface thoughts she is detecting (if the normal 3
rounds passes and the target fails its Will save) as well as an insight bonus on attack
rolls against any foe whose surface thoughts she is detecting. If Nibutani is caught
flat-footed or is otherwise denied her Dexterity bonus, she also loses this insight bonus
to her Armor Class.
Combat Telepathy (Su): By reading her opponents' surface thoughts, Nibutani can
anticipate their every move. She can make a Concentration check (DC 10 + damage
taken during the previous round) at the beginning of her turn. If Nibutani succeeds, she
can maintain concentration on detect thoughts as a free action. If Nibutani casts a spell
or uses another spell-like ability, detect thoughts ends.
Spherical detect thoughts (Su): A Nibutani can widen the area of her detect thoughts
spell or ability into a sphere centered on her, rather than a cone. The radius of the sphere
is equal to the length of the cone.
Faster Mindscan (Su): Nibutani is become adept at tuning into others' thoughts
quickly. In the round when she activates detect thoughts, she detects the presence or
absence of thoughts and the Intelligence score of each thinking mind in the area. In the
next round, she detects the surface thoughts of any one mind in the area.
Multiple Surface Thoughts (Su): Nibutani can simultaneously detect the surface
thoughts of any four creatures who fail their Will saves. This means that she gains
anticipate bonuses against all of them. Once per round as a free action, she can choose
new minds to listen in on.
Instant Mindscan (Su): Nibutani can enter her enemies' minds at the speed of thought.
She gains all the information from detect thoughts (presence or absence of minds,
Intelligence scores, and surface thoughts) in the same round when she activates the
spell or ability. Nibutani’s targets still get Will saves to keep their surface thoughts
secret.
