{{intro|an [[Archetype]] of the [[Bard]] [[class]]}} ==Description== No stodgy researcher, this archaeologist meets his research head-on in the field. Archaeologists sacrifice the bard's inspirational performance for a smattering of rogue talents. ==Base Features== An archaeologist gains many of the features of a [[bard]], but they do not gain [[Bard#Well-Versed|Well-Versed]] or any feature related to a bard's [[Bardic Performance]]. Instead, an archaeologist gains the following features. {|class="wikitable" {{ClassFeature|Archaeologist's Luck|BitOfLuck.png| Fortune favors the archaeologist. As a [[swift action]], an archaeologist can call on fortune's favor, giving him a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, [[saving throws]], [[skill checks]], and weapon damage rolls. He can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + his [[Charisma]] modifier. At each level after 1st, an archaelogist can use archaeologist's luck for 2 additional rounds per day. Maintaining this bonus is a [[free action]], but it ends immediately if the archaeologist is killed, [[paralyzed]], [[stunned]], knocked unconscious, or otherwise prevented from taking a free action to maintain it each round. Archaeologist's luck is treated as [[bardic performance]] for the purposes of feats, abilities, effects, and the like that affect bardic performance. Like bardic performance, it cannot be maintained at the same time as other performance abilities. This bonus increases to +2 at 5th level, +3 at 11th level, and +4 at 17th level. }} {{ClassFeature|Clever Explorer|FindTraps.png| At 2nd level, an archaeologist gains a bonus equal to half his class level on [[Trickery]] and [[Perception]] checks. }} {{ClassFeature|Uncanny Dodge|UncannyDodge.png| At 2nd level, an archaeologist gains [[Rogue#Uncanny Dodge|Uncanny Dodge]], as the rogue class feature of the same name. }} {{ClassFeature|Danger Sense|HideFromUndead.png| At 3rd level, an archaeologist gains a +1 bonus on [[Reflex]] saves to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to [[AC]] against attacks made by traps. In addition, she gains a +1 bonus on [[Perception]] checks to avoid being surprised by a foe. These bonuses increase by 1 every 3 bard levels thereafter (to a maximum of +6 at 18th level). }} {{ClassFeature|Confident Explorer|RangedLegerdemain.png| At 6th level, an archaeologist can always take 10 on [[Trickery]] checks. A bard can choose not to take 10 and can instead roll normally. }} {{ClassFeature|Evasion|FreedomOfMovement.png| At 6th level, an archaeologist gains [[Evasion]], as the rogue ability of the same name. }} {{ClassFeature|Advanced Talents|Invisible.png| Starting at 10th level, when choosing a new [[Bard#Bard Talent|bard talent]], an archaeologist can choose an [[advanced rogue talent]] in place of a [[rogue talent]] . }} |} ==Progression Table== {{ProgressionTable|3|no|yes|yes |[[Bard#Spellcasting|Spellcasting]], [[Bard#Bardic Knowledge|Bardic Knowledge]], [[Bard#Cantrips|Cantrips]], [[Bard#Detect Magic|Detect Magic]], '''[[#Archaeologist's Luck|Archaeologist's Luck +1]]''' |'''[[#Clever Explorer|Clever Explorer]]''', '''[[#Uncanny Dodge|Uncanny Dodge]]''', [[Bard#Bard Talent|Bard talent]] |'''[[#Danger Sense|Danger Sense +1]]''' | |'''[[#Archaeologist's Luck|Archaeologist's Luck +2]]''' |'''[[#Confident Explorer|Confident Explorer]]''', '''[[#Evasion|Evasion]]''', [[Bard#Bard Talent|Bard talent]], '''[[#Danger Sense|Danger Sense +2]]''' | | |'''[[#Danger Sense|Danger Sense +3]]''' |'''[[#Advanced Talents|Advanced Talents]]''', [[Bard#Jack of All Trades|Jack of All Trades]], [[Bard#Bard Talent|Bard talent]] |'''[[#Archaeologist's Luck|Archaeologist's Luck +3]]''' |'''[[#Danger Sense|Danger Sense +4]]''' | |[[Bard#Bard Talent|Bard talent]] |'''[[#Danger Sense|Danger Sense +5]]''' | |'''[[#Archaeologist's Luck|Archaeologist's Luck +4]]''' |[[Bard#Bard Talent|Bard talent]], '''[[#Danger Sense|Danger Sense +6]]''' | | |maxspell=6 |sp1 =1 |sp2 =2 |sp3 =3 |sp4 =3,1 |sp5 =4,2 |sp6 =4,3 |sp7 =4,3,1 |sp8 =4,4,2 |sp9 =5,4,3 |sp10=5,4,3,1 |sp11=5,4,4,2 |sp12=5,5,4,3 |sp13=5,5,4,3,1 |sp14=5,5,4,4,2 |sp15=5,5,5,4,3 |sp16=5,5,5,4,3,1 |sp17=5,5,5,4,4,2 |sp18=5,5,5,5,4,3 |sp19=5,5,5,5,5,4 |sp20=5,5,5,5,5,5 }} ===Spells Known per Level=== {{#lst:Bard|SpellsKnown}} ==Bugs== {{cleanup|Needs confirmation}} The in-game Class Progression table for the archaeologist shows that they get the [[Bard#Inspire Competence|Inspire Competence]] class feature at level 12. They do not get this feature. [[Category:Archetypes]]
