异能歷史學家(Occult Historian)［秘學士变体］出自《极限荒野 pg. 67》许多荒野之地潛藏着古代文明的遺產，有些在靜侯被發現，而有些则被凶悍的怪物或邪教团体所佔據。异能歷史學家探索這些廢墟不但為了它们的上古神秘文物，还想了解建築物中的秘密。遺跡感知(Ruin Reading, Su)：2级起，异能歷史學家能從遺跡的建築物中收集秘密。他们必須花费1分钟的时间檢查並触摸建築物的一部分（例如墻壁或門框）。1分钟后，异能歷史學家嘗試一个知识［歷史］检定。若此遺跡被一個生物作為巢穴地佔據，DC=10+遺跡內生物中最强的CR。若此遺跡內含魔法物品，DC=11+遺跡內魔法物品中最高的CL。若异能歷史學家成功通过检定，他了解到30尺內遺跡的佈局（包括任何密门），以及一條有关建築物歷史的信息（由GM決定）。
5级起，异能歷史學家能观察到遺跡的过去。这將揭示等同使用法术
回溯过去(retrocognitionOA)所收集的信息，除了异能歷史學家只能对遺跡使用。若异能歷史學家在上述的检定中成功，他能观察到過去1小時內在遺跡中發生的事件；每专注1分钟，他就能观察額外1小時。若结果比DC超过5点或以上，他则能观察到過去1星期，加上每专注1分钟的額外1星期。若结果比DC超过10点或以上，他则能观察到過去1年，加上每专注1分钟的額外1年。若结果比DC超过20点或以上，他则能观察到過去1世紀，加上每专注1分钟的額外1世紀。
异能歷史學家每天能使用遺跡感知1次，加上之後的每4級額外1次，至18级时最多5次。
此能力取代了觸物感知和陣營視域。陷阱感知(Trap Sense, Ex)：3級起，异能歷史學家獲得陷阱感知+1，如同盜賊同名职业能力。此加值在3級后的每3个秘學士等级額外+1，至18級時最多+6。
此能力取代了3级靈器之力。粉碎一擊(Crumbling Strike, Su)：12级起，异能歷史學家能將無數年代的风雨剥蚀滙聚在于一次近战攻击中。以一个整轮动作，异能歷史學家能以最高BAB对1个目标作出一下近战攻击。若他击中，他能造成每个秘學士等级2d6点伤害（最多40d6）。若目标成功通過一个強韌豁免（豁免DC=10+1/2异能歷史學家等级+智力调整），则只受到5d6点伤害。被此攻击击杀的生物会灰飞烟灭。异能歷史學家每天能使用此能力1次，在16級和20级时獲得額外1次。
此能力取代了異界接觸2、3、4。劇透 - 原文:
Occult Historian
Source Ultimate Wilderness pg. 67
Many wilderness areas contain the remnants of ancient civilizations, with some waiting to be discovered and some held by fierce monsters or devious cults. An occult historian seeks these ruins not only for their esoteric artifacts but also to learn the structures’ secrets.
Ruin Reading (Su): At 2nd level, an occult historian can glean secrets from ruined structures. She must spend 1 minute examining and touching part of the structure (such as a wall or a doorframe). At the end of the minute, the occult historian attempts a Knowledge (history) check. If the ruin has been claimed as a lair for a creature, the DC of this check is equal to 10 + the CR of the most powerful creature in the ruin. If the ruin holds a magic item (or multiple magic items), the DC of this check is equal to 11 + the highest caster level of all the magic items in the ruin. If the occult historian succeeds at the check, she learns the layout of the area of the ruin within 30 feet of her (including any secret doors), as well as a piece of information about the structure’s history (as determined by the GM).
At 5th level, the occult historian can see into a ruin’s past. This reveals the same information that can be gathered with the spell retrocognition, except the occult historian can use it only in ruins. If the occult historian succeeds at the check outlined above, she sees the events that occurred in the ruin over the past hour; for each minute she concentrates, she can see 1 additional hour into the ruin’s past. If the result of her check exceeds the DC by 5 or more, she can see the events that occurred over the past week, plus for 1 additional week per minute she concentrates. If the result of her check exceeds the DC by 10 or more, she can see the events of the past year, plus for 1 additional year per minute she concentrates. If the result of her check exceeds the DC by 20 or more, she can see the events of the past century, plus for 1 additional century per minute she concentrates.
An occult historian can use ruin reading once per day, plus an additional time every 4 levels thereafter, to a maximum of five times per day at 18th level.
This replaces object reading and aura sight.
Trap Sense (Ex): At 3rd level, an occult historian gains trap sense +1, as per the rogue class feature of the same name. This bonus improves by 1 for every 3 occultist levels gained after 3rd, to a maximum of +6 at 18th level.
This replaces the focus power gained at 3rd level.
Crumbling Strike (Su): At 12th level, an occult historian can channel the erosion of countless ages into a single melee strike. As a full-round action, the occult historian can make a melee attack against a single target at her highest base attack bonus. If she hits, she deals 2d6 points of damage per occultist level she has (maximum 40d6). If the target succeeds at a Fortitude save (the save DC is equal to 10 + half the occult historian’s occultist level + her Intelligence modifier), it takes only 5d6 points of damage. A creature slain by this attack crumbles to dust. The occult historian can use this ability once per day, plus an additional time per day at 16th and 20th levels.
This replaces outside contact 2, 3, and 4.
