Psychography Curse (Apath)

Unofficial rules compendium

Psychography

Publisher: Trailseeker.

You are constantly writing messages from sources beyond your ken. This is similar to the automatic writing revelation, but out of your conscious control. A character with psychography and the appropriate mystery can also pick automatic writing revelation if desired, combining both abilities.

Your hand moves by itself, writing messages or drawing pictures, especially in times of stress. If you have no writing implement, you will mimic writing in empty air. You need not look at your hand or otherwise focus attention to do this, only your hand is involved. One of your hands must constantly be reserved for this and cannot be used to hold a weapon, shield, holy symbol, or other equipment except for a writing tool, with one exception—it can still be used for somatic spell components. You can write in any language, even ones you don't know, but have no special ability to read languages, even text you've written yourself. You also gain Scribe Scroll as a bonus feat.

At 5th level, by taking a full-round action to write out a text on a specific topic, you gain a +4 circumstance bonus on any one Knowledge check, and can retry a failed knowledge check. This allows you to take 20 on Knowledge checks.

At 10th level, add divination and commune to your list of spells known.

At 15th level, the level 5 ability becomes a free action you can take once per round.
