Itinerate Taleswappers differ from their fellow historians in that they actively seek out the traditions of other cultures and hidden histories.Hit Died6Requirements:To qualify to become a Taleswapper, a character must fulfill all the following criteria. SkillsKnowledge(History) 8 ranks, Perform(Oratory or Singing) 8 ranksAt least 10 skill ranks divided between any knowledge skills other than Knowledge(History)SpellsAbility to cast at least 3 spells from the divination school, one of which must be 2nd level or higher.SpecialBardic Knowledge class ability or equivalent (such as the Loremaster's lore ability), Instruction by another Itinerate TaleswapperClass SkillsThe lorekeeper's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Appraise (Int), Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Disguise (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Gather Information (Cha), Hide (Dex),  Knowledge (all skills, taken individually) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Perform (Cha), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Sleight of Hand (Dex), Speak Language (None), Spellcraft (Int), Tumble (Dex), and Use Magic Device (Cha).

Spells per DayWhen the 1st, 3rd, or 5th Itinerate Taleswapper level is gained, the character gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he had also gained a level in a spellcasting class she belonged to before she added the prestige class. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. This essentially means that she adds the indicated levels of Taleswapper to the level of some other spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day, spells known, and caster level accordingly.When the 2nd or 4th Itinerate Taleswapper level is gained, and if the character has bardic spellcasting, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a bard level. This means that he adds the indicated levels of Taleswapper to the level of bard then determines spells per day, spells known, and caster level accordingly.Bardic MusicIf the Itinerate Taleswapper has the Bardic music class ability, then Taleswapper levels stack with bard levels to determine Bardic music uses per day. Taleswapper levels also stack with bard levels to detemine which bardic music effects are available.Bardic KnowledgeItinerate Taleswapper levels are applied as a bonus to bardic knowledge or lore checks just as if the character had gained a level in the class which grants the character that ability. Knowledge FocusIn addition to the normal number of skill points gained at each Taleswapper level, the Itinerate Taleswapper gains 4 bonus skill points for each class level gained. These bonus skill points must be spent on a knowledge skill, and each skill point must be spent on a different knowledge. These skill points must obey the normal rules for maximum skill ranks.Divination FocusWhen the spellcasting class modified by levels 1, 3, and 5 is a spontaneous spellcaster, n addition to the normal number of spells known, the Itinerate Taleswapper knows one additional divination spell of each spell level he is capable of casting. For example, a 5th-level bard/1st-level Taleswapper knows six 0-level bard spells plus one 0-level bard spell of the divination school (such as detect magic, know direction, or read magic). The Taleswapper's number of spells per day does not change.Divination AgilityAdd the following spells to the Itinerate Taleswapper's bardic spell list: 1st—detect chaos/evil/good/law; 2nd—zone of truth; 3rd—arcane sight; 4th—analyze dweomer (lowered from 6th), sending; 5th—contact other plane, greater scrying (lowered from 6th); 6th—true seeing, vision.This ability does nothing for the Taleswapper without a bardic spell list.LoreA Itinerate Taleswapper gains the indicated bonus on all bardic knowledge or lore checks.Bardic Music EffectsThe Itinerate Taleswapper gains the following bardic music effects. If the Taleswapper did not have the bardic music ability, he gains a number of bardic music abilties per day equal to his class level, and may use the following effects if he meets the prerequisites.ExpositionAn Itinerate Taleswapper of 1st level or higher with 9 or more ranks in a Perform skill can use his music or poetics to create an illusion which enhances his performance. The use of this ability replicates the silent image spell at caster level 1 which endures for the length of some performance. The image is obviously illusory, and no creature viewing it need make a will save to disbelieve. The image complements the Taleswapper's performance and provides a +2 circumstance bonus.Mnemonic ChantAn Itinerate Taleswapper of 3rd level or higher with 11 or more ranks in a Perform skill can use his music or poetics to stimulate his memory. You can recall natural memories and knowledge otherwise inaccessible to you. Following a Knowledge, Bardic Knowledge, or Lore check, you can use this ability to gain a new check with a +4 competence bonus. You instantly recall what was previously buried in your subconscious. Visions of the PastAn Itinerate Lorekeeper of 5th level with 13 or more ranks in a Perform skill can use his music or poetics to gain an understanding of a location's past. He creates images of a given location's history which both he and other creatures present may view.Rooms, streets, tunnels, and other discrete locations accumulate emotional impressions left by powerful experiences in a given area. These impressions offer a picture of the location’s past. The types of events most likely to leave impressions are those that elicited strong emotions: battles and betrayals, marriages and murders, births and great pain, or any other event where one emotion dominates. Everyday occurrences leave no residue for the Taleswapper to detect. The image of the event is dreamlike, shadowy, and obviously illusory. Witnesses do not gain special knowledge of those involved in the vision, though they might be able to read large banners or other writing. Beginning with the most recent significant event at a location and working backward in time, the Taleswapper can reveal one distinct event for every 10 minutes he concetrates, if any such events exist to be sensed. Your sensitivity extends into the past a maximum number of years equal to 100 × Ranks in your highest perfrom skill. The Lorekeeper may concetrate on this ability for a maximum of minutes equal to 10 x his Bardic Knowledge modifier.[sblock=Bard only option]Itinerate TaleswapperThe Itinerate Taleswappers arise from those cultures which maintain an oral tradition.
