[QUOTE="Qwillion, post: 4371655, member: 14641"] [I]Robert Ranting[/I] advice is awseome as always. May I humbly add: [I]Transcendance [/I]akashic feats. Any divination spell appropirate ot the level of the akashic ability. Any feat. Here are a few I designed on my blog awhile back. [B]MINOR AKASHIC ABILITY[/B] [B]Recall Weakness: [/B]1/day you may make a Delve the Collective Memory check (DC 15+Challenge Rating) as a standard action, to determine how to bypass a trap or defeat a foe.
