Description

Gnome expert 1/wizard 2

Feats This scholar has the Eye of the Arclord feat; as a standard action, he can open a visible third eye for up to 2 minutes/day. The eye grants +1 CL to divination spells, darkvision 60 feet, a +8 bonus on Perception checks to notice invisible creatures, and allows him to use detect magic at will (see Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting 109).

The Arclords attract a variety of students seeking arcane knowledge, but no group takes to the twisted, often hidden history of Nex and Geb with the same passion as gnomes. Arclord historians spend much of their time among moldering old books, but the nature of Golarion history sometimes demands forays into dangerous tombs and forbidden libraries.
