Memes

AUTOTOXIC MEME
Classes: Aka [Mind-affecting]
Activation Time: Standard action
Range: Close (25 feet + 5 feet/2 memory invested)
Target: One creature
Duration: 1 round + 1 round/memory invested
Saving Throw: Will negates
Blue Opposition: Yes
You force an autotoxic meme into a creature's mind, which pushes it into a murderous frenzy.
The target begins raging, as a barbarian, and must engage opponents in melee combat.
Memory: For each point of memory you have invested in this meme, the duration is increased by 1 round.
Belief-Space: While this meme is part of your belief-space, your understanding of autotoxic information increases tenfold, by virtue of having one take up residence in your mind. Creatures affected by this meme will attack a creature that attacks them until they or their target is dead. However, you are incapable of paying attention to your own well-being, and as such suffer a -4 penalty to your AC, and when you take damage, you take half again as much.

 

AUTOTOXIC MEME
Classes: Aka [Mind-affecting]
Activation Time: Standard action
Range: Close (25 feet + 5 feet/2 memory invested)
Target: One creature
Duration: 1 round + 1 round/memory invested
Saving Throw: Will negates
Blue Opposition: Yes
You scramble a creature's internal ideosphere, making its beliefs seem contradictory and thereby confusing.
The target becomes confused.
Memory: For each point of memory you have invested in this meme, the duration is increased by 1 round.
Belief-Space: While this meme is part of your belief-space, your understanding of the intricate interplay of belief systems is enhanced, and you grasp keenly how inconsistent schemes are transmitted. A creature affected by this meme is contagious, and if it is able to speak, on its turns, creatures within 30 feet of it must make a Will save against this meme or also be confused for the same duration as the original target was confused. A creature can be infected multiple times, each time resetting the duration. However, you must take pains to avoid contemplating the inconsistent schemas within your own mind, and thus you lose and cannot regain immunity to mind-affecting effects while this meme is bound to your belief-space.

 

MEMORY BOLT
Classes: Aka [Mind-affecting]
Activation Time: Standard action
Range: Close (25 feet + 5 feet/2 memory invested)
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates
Blue Opposition: Yes
You overload a creature's memory processing with a barrage of information.
The target takes 1d6 psychic damage.
Memory: For each point of memory you have invested in this meme, the damage increases by an additional die.
Belief-Space: While this meme is part of your belief-space, your mind is randomly occupied with conflicting ideas and hordes of memes, prepared to be shared. However, most of this information is not terribly useful, and instead clutters your mind, making thinking harder. The base damage of this meme increases to 1d10, but the activation time for all other memes increases by one step.

 

OBJECT LORESIGHT
Classes: Aka
Activation Time: Standard action
Range: Touch
Target: One item
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates (Object)
Blue Opposition: Yes (Object)
You touch an object, giving you a clearer understanding of its history.
If the object fails a Will save (note that only attended or Force items can attempt such a save), you learn something about the item.
 
Facts Learned
1st Age of object.
2nd Name of last creature to touch the object, if any (other than you).
3rd Race of last creature to touch the object, if any (other than you).
4th Name of the object’s creator (a natural object, like a rock, was created by Nature).
5th Race of the object’s creator, if any.
6th Object’s intended purpose.
7th Material(s) that makes up the object.
8th Location of the object’s creation.
9th Name of the most recent owner of the object, if any.
10th Force ability of the object, if any (random if more than one).
11th Most significant event the item has been present for of which you are unaware.
 
Multiple uses of this meme allow you to gain more information. If you already know all of the above, you learn nothing more about the object.
Memory: For each point of memory you have invested in this meme, you learn an additional fact per use.
Belief-Space: While this meme is part of your belief-space, you have the ability to incorporate an object's history into your understanding of the world, giving you insight into its function. This gives you a +1/two memory insight bonus to any checks made to manipulate an object on which you have used this meme. This bonus lasts for 1 round/memory invested.
While this meme is bound to your belief-space, you have a preoccupation with the importance of inanimate objects and the role they play in the creation of history; in particular, this preoccupation overrides your interest in persons, places, or events. You cannot have this meme bound to your belief-space and any other loresight meme bound at the same time.

 

QUERY
Classes: Aka
Activation Time: 1d8+1 rounds
Range: Personal
Effect: One response
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Blue Opposition: No
You let your mind become one with the akashic record, seeking an answer to a question.
You align your mental processes with the Blue, allowing you to access it deeper than you can casually. This gives you unparalleled ability to answer questions and learn information about the world.
You may ask the Blue a question, of any complexity. More complex questions have a greater chance to fail, as attempting to correlate information from throughout the whole of memory is a difficult and complex process.
The base chance of success is 50%. More complex questions reduce this, while simpler questions improve it; in general, a complex question will have a success chance of 25%, while simple questions will have a success chance of 75%. If you succeed, you learn the answer to your question. If you fail, you do not, and the chance of success for asking the question again is reduced by 25%.
If you are interrupted while activating this meme, you can begin where you left off if you activate it again with the same question within a number of rounds equal to your Intelligence modifier. Otherwise, you must start over (rolling a new activation time).
Memory: For each point of memory you have invested in this meme, the chance of success increases by 5%.
Belief-Space: While this meme is part of your belief-space, you become more inquisitive, and your mind automatically turns to the Blue when pondering a particular question or situation; however, this introspection often leads you on mental tangents, inhibiting your ability to notice the world around you. You gain a +1/two memory invested bonus to all Knowledge checks, and suffer a -1/memory invested penalty to all Perception-based checks.

 

STATUS
Classes: Aka
Activation Time: Standard action
Range: Close (25 feet + 5 feet/2 memory invested)
Target: All allies within range
Duration: 1 round + 1 round/memory invested
Saving Throw: Will negates (Harmless)
Blue Opposition: Yes
You tap into the immediate past of your allies, allowing you to track their status.
You are aware of direction and distance to the creatures and any conditions affecting them: unharmed, wounded, disabled, staggered, unconscious, dying, nauseated, panicked, stunned, poisoned, diseased, confused, or the like. Once the meme has been activated and the subjects affected, the distance between them and the activator does not affect the meme as long as they are on the same plane of existence. If a subject leaves the plane, or if it dies, the meme ceases to function for it.
Memory: For each point of memory you have invested in this meme, increase the duration by 1 round.
Belief-Space: While this meme is part of your belief-space, a part of your mind is continually tracking your surroundings, keeping you subconsciously aware of everything happening around you. You gain a +1/memory invested insight bonus to initiative and gain uncanny dodge. However, this focus on the general comes at the cost of the specific, and you suffer a -1/memory invested penalty to all Spot and Listen checks.

 

DETECT FORCE
Classes: Aka
Activation Time: Standard action
Range: 30 feet + 10 feet/memory invested
Area: Cone extending from you to extreme edge of range
Duration: Instantaneous
Blue Opposition: Yes
Through investigating the world memory, you learn of the presence of other Forces.
You detect the presence of the nine Forces.
Memory: For every two points of memory you invest in this meme, you learn more and more specific information.
With two memory, you determine the number of different Force auras, their alignments, and the strength of the most potent aura.
With four memory, you can determine the strength and location of each aura.
With six memory, you determine which creatures within range are Force-users, and if so, what Forces they can access, and the strength of the most powerful ability they can access within that Force.
Belief-Space: While this meme is part of your belief-space, you are attuned to the presence of the Forces. If Force usage occurs anywhere within 10 feet/memory invested of you, you immediately know it, though you must still make the relevant skill check to identify the ability being used. However, your attunement to the Nine as a whole reduces your attunement to the Blue, giving you a -1/memory invested penalty to all delve into blue checks.

 

RECALL
Classes: Aka
Activation Time: Immediate
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Instantaneous
Blue Opposition: Yes
Your intimacy with information and the causal chain allows you to ignore attempts to subvert it.
When a creature attempts to modify you temporally, such as through time hop, lag, or slow, you can use this meme to counter the effect (in general, if a temporal jikuu is of the (manipulation) or (modification) subgroups, you can counter it). You must succeed on a memeticist level check against DC 11 + Force-user level of the effect's origin.
Memory: For each point of memory you have invested in this meme, you gain a +2 insight bonus on the memeticist level check to counter effects.
Belief-Space: While this meme is part of your belief-space, you aware of the precise march of time. You always know what time it is, your current time-error (if you have any), and the initiative order when in combat.

 

IMMUNITY SUPPRESSION
Classes: Aka [Mind-affecting]
Activation Time: Standard
Range: Medium (100 feet + 10 feet/memory invested)
Target: One creature
Duration: 1 round/memory invested
Saving Throw: Will negates
Blue Opposition: Yes
You craft an insidious meme, one that burrows into the mind and reduces its bearer's ability to resist new ideas.
If the target fails a Will save, it suffers a -2 penalty to all Will saves against memetic effects.
Memory: For each point of memory you have invested in this meme, the target suffers an additional -1 to its Will saves.
Belief-Space: While this meme is part of your belief-space, your mind is much more susceptible to memes, but can also manage more at a time. You gain an additional active meme slot, plus an additional active meme slot for every five memory invested. However, you suffer a -4 penalty to all Will saves, and an additional -2 penalty for each memory invested.

 

SCAN
Classes: Aka [Mind-affecting]
Activation Time: 1d8+1 rounds
Range: Touch
Target: One creature, area, or object
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates
Blue Opposition: Yes
You focus solely on a single idea, the essence of what makes a thing itself, using sensory data to "zero in" on the information you seek. You then combine your thirst for knowledge with the world memory, and let your subconscious do its work.
While using this meme, you are unaware of your surroundings.
When you activate this meme, you can ask one question regarding the target. At the end of the activation, you gain the answer to your question, unless something is actively blocking the knowledge, in which case you must succeed at a memeticist level check against a DC unknown to you.
Memory: For every two points of memory you have invested in this meme, you can ask another question.
Belief-Space: While this meme is part of your belief-space, you gain incredible insight, but seem unable to soften the harsh truths you perceive. You gain a +2/memory invested bonus to Sense Motive checks, but suffer a -1/memory invested penalty to Diplomacy checks.
