This is a special ability for a prestige class I am working on. I'm not sure if making the gains provided permanent is going to be unbalancing. The ability is gained at level 8, to join the prestige class you need a +3 base attack and 3 or more ranks of Survival. Also, should you be able to gain more than 4 ranks of a skill? Is that equivalent to learning a new spell or feat? Thoughts?
Eat The Soul(su)
By eating a murdered victim’s brain you gain his knowledge and power. If either the victim’s Int or Wis is higher than yours, you gain that score for 24 hours. Otherwise you gain a +1 bonus to either Int or Wis. In addition you can gain one skills, feat, or spell known to your victim. If you roll over your Int score you retain this knowledge permanently. Otherwise it is forgotten after 24 hours. If you choose a skill you gain up to 4 ranks in one skill possessed by the victim in life. If you select a feat you must meet all prerequisites. If you choose a spell you must be able to cast it based on your class and level. If the victim you select suffers from any type of mental condition or illness, such a geas, charm, or insanity, you automatically contract it, whether permanent or temporary.
