| + | |
| − | : ''"A moment lasts all of a second, but the memory lives on forever."''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To study the whole of history, from the inception of the world to this very moment, is a difficult and demanding task. However, the rewards reaped from such an endeavor cannot be denied: akashics - as such students of history are known - develop an understanding of history and information a level above most mortals.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The key to their success is the ''meme'', conceptual packets of information. By understanding the structure of information, and learning how to extract, manipulate, condense, and control it, akashics gain an ever-increasing level of awareness of the world around them.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | While personal memory is fickle, and events become forgotten by those who experienced them, akashics tap into a far more reliable source of such information: world memory. Over time, akashics become accustomed to, and even reliant upon, the concepts of causality and the reliability of how the world works, ignoring what they know and focusing instead on what they wish to learn. Given this mechanistic mindset, akashics tend to get along well with Technology- and Nature-aligned individuals, who share similar outlooks on existence.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Game Rule Information==
| + | |
| − | Akashics have the following game statistics.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''[[The_Forces#Force_Alignment | Force Alignment]]:''' Blue.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''[[The_Forces#Force_Resistance | Force Resistances]]:''' TO 5 + level, CO 5 + level.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Abilities:''' Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma are all equally important to an akashic. She gains bonus active meme slots based on her Wisdom, bonus memory based on her Intelligence, and additional belief-space based upon her Charisma.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Hit Die:''' d6.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Class Skills:''' All skills are class skills for the akashic.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Skill Points at Each Level:''' 10 + Int modifier.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Alignment:''' Any.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Starting Age:''' Moderate.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Starting Gold:''' 4d4 x 10gp.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Favored By:''' [[Race:_Adu'ja|Adu'ja]], [[Race:_Gnome|Gnome]], [[Race:_Vesuvan|Vesuvan]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Class Features==
| + | |
| − | All of the following are class features of the akashic.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Akashics are proficient with all simple weapons and light armor, but not shields.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <div id="Memes">
| + | |
| − | '''Memes (Me):''' The abilities of the akashic are memes, the purview of the blue. Akashics acquire their knowledge of memes from the world memory, and represent the many and varied ways in which an akashic can modify, manipulate, or otherwise interact with memories.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | An akashic can know any number of memes, but she can only have so many actively accessible at one time ("Memes," on the table). The akashic can change what memes she has access to after a night's rest.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The saving throw DC for any meme you use is equal to 10 + memory invested + your Charisma modifier.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You gain additional active meme slots equal to your Wisdom modifier.
| + | |
| − | </div>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Schemas (Me):''' A memetic schema is a complex informational construct. While a meme can be viewed generally as a single idea, a schema is a set of memes that reinforce each other and generate a worldview. In effect, a schema can be much greater than the sum of its parts - schema are the building blocks of social, religious, linguistic, and artistic movements and belief systems. Unlike memes, which are actively transmitted, schema become part of your belief space, and thus do not affect other creatures directly.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | As a memeticist, you can utilize schema to reinforce aspects of your personality, utilizing them to provide protection against some types of memes or to provide other mental benefits. However, schema are resource-intensive for the budding memeticist, and maintaining them in one's mind can prove dangerous: schemas are embedding by nature, and overuse of a particular schema may result in it becoming a permanent part of a memeticist's belief space.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Unlike memes, which only require an active meme slot, each schema has its own set of requirements. Consult the description of a schema to determine what resources it requires. However, all schema require at least one belief-space, and thus must be bound at the same time memes are bound to your belief-space, and cannot be changed until you could change your bound memes. If a schema has other resource requirements, those other resources become similarly bound, and cannot be freed until you can change your bound memes.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <div id="Memory">
| + | |
| − | '''Memory (Me):''' An akashic has only so much of her personal memory that she can devote towards her memes; however, when she does so, those memes increase in power. A meme cannot have more than memory invested in it than your memeticist level.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | As a swift action, you may choose to reallocate some or all of your memory.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You gain additional memory equal to your Intelligence modifier.
| + | |
| − | </div>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <div id="BS">
| + | |
| − | '''Belief-Space (Me):''' As a memeticist, the akashic is able to incorporate foreign memes directly into her belief-space, incorporating the meme into her personal memory. This process allows her to gain deeper understanding of the meme's pattern (and therefore, the information it contains), but it is also possible that the meme will taint and modify the akashic's personality and memories.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The akashic can have the indicated number of memes bound to her belief-space. The integration or removal of such bound memes is an involved process, and so the akashic can only change her bound memes after a night's rest.

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <div id="Delve">
| + | |
| − | '''Delve Into Blue:''' The akashic is trained in accessing the world memory, allowing her to retrieve knowledge that she has not necessarily learned but that some other creature may have. She may make a special ''delve into blue'' check with a bonus equal to her akashic level + her Intelligence modifier to see whether she knows some relevant information about a given topic (a person, place, thing, or event).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Knowledge you gain from this ability is generally vague - you cannot gain specific information, only generalities. You can acquire more details by using the relevant ''loresight'' meme. You can use this ability to gain the ability to use ''loresight'' memes on a creature, object, location, or event that is not immediately at hand. However, doing so may result in unusual results from the usage of those memes.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You gain a +2 synergy bonus to this check if you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (History).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A successful delve into blue check will not reveal the powers of a Force item but may give a hint as to its general function. An akashic may not take 10 or take 20 on this check; the accessibility to this sort of knowledge is essentially random.
| + | |
| − | </div>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Akashic Talent:''' At 10th level, and every two levels thereafter, the akashic learns a new ability. She may select one of the following special features; unless otherwise specified, each ability can be selected only once.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * ''Avid Reader (Me):'' When you [[Written_Works#Learning_from_Non-Fiction_Texts|learn from books]], you gain the full bonus from a number of books you have read equal to your Wisdom modifier, instead of just the first, after which the diminishing returns set in.
| + | |
| − | * ''I Remember (Bl):'' Whenever an effect would cause you to lose memory of an event, it must succeed at a Force-user level check against DC 11 + your memeticist level. If that check fails, you retain the memory, and it remains accessible in the world memory (though is a DC 40 ''delve into blue'' check to acquire that information while you live, and a DC 50 check once you are dead). This ability is effective against temporal manipulation and modification effects, and allows you to retain memory of now-future events.
| + | |
| − | * ''Jack of all Trades (Bl):'' While you can access the world memory, you gain rudimentary base knowledge. You can use all skills untrained.
| + | |
| − | ** ''Extensive Training (Bl):'' Your ability to learn and retain knowledge expands. Your maximum skill rank increases by +1. You can take this talent multiple times. (''Prerequisites:'' Jack of all Trades)
| + | |
| − | ** ''Rapid Learning (Me):'' Your ability to absorb information is astounding. You gain two additional skill points each level. You can take this talent multiple times. (''Prerequisites:'' Jack of all Trades)
| + | |
| − | * ''Loresight Mastery (Bl):'' You can have an additional ''loresight'' meme bound to your belief-space at once. You can take this talent up to three times; its effect stacks.
| + | |
| − | * ''Remember the World (Me):'' The akashic gains knowledge of the ''remember the world'' meme. (''Prerequisites:'' Memeticist level 16th+)
| + | |
| − | * ''Thirst for Knowledge (Bl):'' You gain a +2 bonus on all Knowledge skills in which you have at least one rank. You can take this talent multiple times.
| + | |
| − | ** ''Drink Deep of Memory (Bl):'' You gain a +2 insight bonus on all ''delve into blue'' checks. You can take this talent multiple times; its effects stack. (''Prerequisites:'' Thirst for Knowledge)
| + | |
| − | * ''Feat:'' An akashic can gain a bonus feat in place of a special ability.

| − | =Design Notes=
| + | |
| − | So, we've decided that ''recharge'' is the mechanic of choice for the Blue. As such, akashics need to be brought in-line with that.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To that end, the ''entire meme list'' for akashics needs to be retooled. So... that's a fun little project. I like the sub-theme in Blue that you have to have a status on a thing to do your thing to it... learners ''assay'', trainers ''control''... so I think we'll continue that sub-theme here with akashics.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I may ditch "delve into blue," though gnomes reference it, so ... I'm not sure yet what to do with it. Though... hmm. Could be the source of the status effect we want to use.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | We shall see.
