Amateur Investigator (3/day) Your knowledge is more than plain smarts - it's inspired.
Prerequisites: Int 13, 1 rank in at least one Knowledge skill, no levels in a class that has the inspiration class feature.
Benefit: Like an investigator, you have the ability to augment your Knowledge, Linguistics, and Spellcraft skill checks. You gain a pool of inspiration equal to your Intelligence modifier. You can expend one use of inspiration as a free action to add 1d6 to the result of a Knowledge, Linguistics, or Spellcraft check, as long as you are trained in that skill (even if you take 10 or 20 on that check). You make this choice after the check is rolled and before the results of the roll are revealed. You can use inspiration only once per skill check. Your pool of inspiration refreshes each day, typically after you get a restful night’s sleep.
Bomb 1d6+3 (5/day, DC 14) (Su) Thrown Splash Weapon deals 1d6+3 fire damage.
Darkvision (60 feet) You can see in the dark (black and white only).

Infused Curative At 2nd level, a chirurgeon's extracts of cure spells automatically act as infusions, and can be used by non-alchemists. When a chirurgeon prepares his extracts, he may choose to render any or all of his infused curatives inert and prepare othe

Zeitgeist Character Theme:

Eschatologist.
The Heid Eschatol movement began among the dwarves of Drakr, after the scholar Vlendam Heid published a treatise on the myths of his nation and how they continued to influence modern perceptions.
The book captured the culture’s consciousness, particularly a section that used the legend of the Lost Riders to explain the Drakran tradition of defining civilizations and eras by how they end.
In the three decades since its publication, Heid’s “On the Proper Endings of Things” has given birth to a whole field of academic study devoted to finding the perfect way to end friendships and romances, business relationships, wars, serialized literature, and even one’s own life.
Heid’s disciples refer to themselves as eschatologists, from the term for the study of the end of the world. Their popularity has only strengthened Drakr’s existing obsession with apocalyptic prophecies and doomsaying, and has raised awareness of their beliefs in other nations.
The Clergy, however, denies that the dwarven endtimes are near, and its agents take a dim view of Heid’s followers.
Icy End of the Earth (Theme Feat)
With the dire knowledge that the world shall end in ice, you do what you can to prevent such fate from befalling your allies. These acts come with a high price, as you find yourself closer to death than most.
Benefit:
Once per day you may stabilize a fallen comrade by touching them as a swift action. You can use this power on any creature who has negative hit points, or who has been dead for less than one full round. In order to use this ability, the creature you touch must have a complete body (thus it cannot be used on a decapitated creature, or the target of a disintegrate spell).
Once per day, you may summon a temporary zone of cold. This zone manifests in a 10-ft. radius around you, but is stationary. Creatures that start their turn in the zone (including you) take cold damage equal to your level, and while in the zone they cannot heal or gain temporary hit points.
The zone lasts until you dismiss it as a swift action, but if you start your turn outside the zone, its cold still damages you and prevents you from healing for as long as you maintain the effect. You cannot reduce the damage this does to you by any means, but other creatures’ resistances and immunities can protect them as
normal.
Special: You can acquire only one theme feat.

Appearance:
Short but very solidly built, Dr. Runemace has red hair and beard. His expression is serious and seldom smiles.
He wears a formal suit and top hat as well as multi-spectacles he uses to look closely at crime scenes. He often wears a doctors lab coat when on the job.
He walks with a rune covered walking stick with heavy cold iron knob.
He carries a large black medical bag with his alchemical equipment and supplies

Background:
Born in the Drakr lands, he studied and became an Alchemist-Chirurgeon. A dispute about fine points of Eschatology led to him moving to Flint in Risur, and there his expertise was hired by the RHC.

*Risky Strike and Defensive Stance*
In place of Power Attack, Deadly Aim, Fight Defensively, and Combat Expertise, players are granted two new combat options: Risky Strike and Defensive Stance. Both are usable by any character with a base attack bonus of at least +1, and neither option requires a feat to access.

Risky Strike
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +1.
You can choose to take a –1 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +2 bonus on all damage rolls. This bonus to damage is increased by half (+50%) if you are making an attack with a two-handed weapon, a onehanded weapon using two hands, or a primary natural weapon that adds 1-1/2 times your Strength modifier on damage rolls.
This bonus to damage is halved (–50%) if you are making an attack with an off-hand weapon or secondary natural weapon.
When your base attack bonus reaches +4, and every 4 points thereafter, the penalty increases by –1 and the bonus to damage increases by +2.
You must choose to use Risky Strike before making an attack roll, and its effects last until your next turn. The bonus damage does not apply to touch attacks or effects that do not deal hit point damage.

Defensive Stance
Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +1.
You can choose to take a -1 penalty on melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +1 dodge bonus to your Armor Class. When your base attack bonus reaches +4, the penalty increases by -1 and the dodge
bonus increases by +1.
You must choose to use Defensive Stance before making an attack roll and its effects last until your next turn.
