TRUESPEAK (INT; TRAINED ONLY)
Use this skill to master the torturous pronunciation
of truenames, each of which involves a dozen
syllables, precise timing, and vocalizations foreign
to even the most multilingual character. If you're a
truenamer, you use this skill every time you deliver
an utterance. If you’re a spellcaster with a
truename spell at your disposal, you make a
Truespeak check to cast the spell properly.
Members of prestige classes make Truespeak
checks to activate class features.
You can also make a Truespeak check as a free
action to identify an utterance being spoken, even
when it’s not your turn.
Of the standard classes, only the truenamer has
Truespeak as a class skill. Other characters can
avoid the high cost of cross-class skills by taking
the Truename Training feat.
Action: Speaking a truename is a standard
action that provokes attacks of opportunity.
Try Again: Yes.
Synergy: If you have 5 or more ranks in
Truespeak, you gain a +2 bonus in any Knowledge
checks made to conduct truename research.
The following are spell-like abilities, equivalent to a
0 level spell. They have an effective caster level of
1.

choice) a door, chest, box, window, bag, bottle, or

any other container with a single word. If anything
resists this activity, the spell fails. This effect only
works on ordinary objects that are within 60 feet
and cannot affect anything beyond 30 pounds in
weight.
WHISPER OF RADIANCE: Your words cause an object
within 60 feet to glow like a torch, shedding bright
light in a 20-foot radius (and dim light for an
additional 20 feet). The effect is immobile but can
be used on a mobile object. Light taken into an
area of magical darkness does not function. This
effect lasts for one minute and does not work on
any magical object or any unwilling attended
object.
WHISPER OF MOTION: A few words of Truespeech
and some concentration are all you need to move a
small object around the room. You can only affect
unattended, mundane objects weighing a pound or
less and the object must be within 60 feet. Each
round you concentrate, you can move the object 10
feet. You can concentrate on this effect for up to 5
rounds.
WHISPER OF FIRE: With a single word, you cause a
bright spark of flame to come into existence. This
small burst of fire deal 1 point of fire damage to
one creature or object within 60 feet. This fire
damage is enough to light extremely flammable
substances, such as oil or paper, on fire. When
used on an object, use the object's caster level (if it
has one) in place of it's CR.

The research process is interruptible at any time.
If you need to go adventure, just keep track of how
many successful checks you've made so far, then
resume your research when your schedule allows.
Obscure Creatures: Ironically, it can be
somewhat easier to research the personal truename
of an ancient lich than a lowly goblin scout.
Histories will periodically mention the lich's unholy
deeds and previous truename researchers may
have made progress on the truename (and
recorded that progress), but it's unlikely that
anyone has ever cared to know the goblin's
truename, so mundane texts won't help much.
Creatures with a CR of less than 10 (or objects
with a caster level of less than 10) are considered
to be obscure unless they have historical or political
importance. You can't even attempt to research the
truename of an obscure creature without magical
aid of some sort, usually some sort of divination
spell, and even then you take a -4 penalty on the
check.
Starting Play with Personal Truenames: With
the Dungeon Master's permission, you can begin
play knowing the personal truenames of other
creatures, objects, and places that you could
logically have investigated already. Each such
truename counts against your starting gold like a
magic item. Truenames costs (1500 gp x the
number of checks normally required to discover the
creature's truename). For example, the truename of
your 6th level ally costs 4500 gp to know at
character creation.

 THE TRUENAMER
A truenamer studies the words that comprise the fabric of existence. Long hours of
practice and memorization have allowed him to master the language by which the
universe defines itself and through it can bend reality to his will.

level, you gain a bonus feat. This feat must be a
truespeech-related feat and you must meet the
prerequisites to take that feat.
Speak Unto the Masses (Su): At 13th level,
you have the ability to affect a number of creatures
with a single powerful utterance. You can only
affect creatures of the same type (humanoids,
giants, or dragons, for example) with a single use
of this ability, although you could use it against a
different group of a different creature type each
round. No two of the creatures you wish to affect
can be more than 30 ft apart, and the base DC for
your Truespeak check is equal to the most powerful
(highest CR) creature in the group. For each
creature you wish to affect beyond the first, the DC
of your Truespeak check increases by 2.
The Law of Resistance still applies to utterances
altered with Speak unto the Masses, but only
counts as one use of that utterance, not once per
creature affected. You cannot speak a personal
truename while using Speak Unto the Masses.
Say My Name and I Am There (Su): At 20th
level, you develop a truename — not your personal
truename, but a sort of true nickname — that is
invested with cosmic power such that others who
speak it can conjure you forth. Whenever someone
successfully says this truename, you can appear at
that creature's location as if taken there by a word
of recall spell. You know who is saying your
truename, and you can choose not to be transport-
ed if you wish. The nickname is often one or two
syllables taken from your personal truename. A
creature speaking your true nickname need not
make a Truespeak check to do so.
Most truenamers with this ability teach the
truename to their friends and allies so they can be
called when needed.

ACOLYTE OF THE EGO
"Know thyself"
- Abbot Ira Dravinian, Acolyte of the Ego
The Acolytes of the Ego are an order of
monks who seek mastery over
themselves through mastery over their
own truenames and through it
transcend the limits of their mortal
selves.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Alignment: Any Lawful
Skills: Concentration 8 ranks, Truespeak 8 ranks
Special: Still Mind class feature, must know your
own personal truename
CLASS FEATURES
As you advance as an Acolyte of the Ego, you learn
to new ways in which to recite your truename,
allowing you to give yourself abilities above and
beyond your already considerable martial talents.
Monk Abilities: An acolyte of the ego adds his
class level to her monk level to determine his class-
based AC bonus, his unarmed damage, his
unarmored speed bonus, and his flurry of blows
progression. His acolyte of the ego levels count as
monk levels for determining the number of times
per day he can use the Stunning Fist feat. An
acolyte of the ego does not count his class level for
purpose of determining when he gains any other
monk class feature.
Recitations (Sp): An acolyte of the ego gradually
masters various ways in which to recite his own
personal truename. These recitations reinforce the
acolyte in the mind of the universe, giving him
special abilities by making him more "real" than his
surroundings. These recitations function as
utterances (and can thus be affected by Inflection
feats), but they have one major difference. Every
recitation requires an acolyte of the ego to speak
his own personal truename. As such, they can
affect only him and never carry an additional
personal truename effect. Each recitation lasts for
one minute unless otherwise noted.
An acolyte of the ego learns a new recitation with
every class level, as given in the table. An acolyte
of the ego can only learn a recitation with a level
less than or equal to half his acolyte of the ego level
(round up), so a 3rd level acolyte of the ego can
learn only 2nd level recitations. You may have as
many recitations active at one time as you wish,
but recitations obey both the Law of Sequence and
the Law of Resistance.
Personal Truename Focus (Ex): At 4th level, an
acolyte of the ego becomes thoroughly practiced in
speaking his own personal truename, granting him
a +4 bonus on all Truespeak checks involved in
speaking his own truename. This stacks with the
bonus a creature normally receives for speaking its
own personal truename.

Twinned Recitation (Sp): An acolyte of the ego
of at least 7th level can combine two recitations
that he knows, allowing him to use both with a
single Truespeak check.
Personal Truename Mastery (Ex): At 10th level,
the acolyte of the ego has his own truename
engrained into his very soul. He can take 10 on any
Truespeak check to speak his own personal
truename, even though you cannot normally take
10 on a Truespeak check and even if circumstances,
such as nearby danger, would not normally allow
him to take 10.
Multiclass Note: Monks who multiclass into this
prestige class can continue advancing as monks.
1ST LEVEL RECITATIONS
Recitation of the Indomitable Fortress: Like a mighty tower,
you find the blows of your enemies to be too feeble to harm you.
You gain a bonus to your natural armor bonus equal to 1/2 your
class level (minimum +1).
Recitation of the Pristine Snow: As fresh fallen snow is
unmarred, so too are you. You immediately are cured of any
poison or disease currently affecting you and become immune to
poison and disease.
Recitation of the Verdant Spring: As the spring abounds with
life and new growth, so also do you. You gain fast healing equal to
your class level.
Recitation of the Unwavering Sun: There is no darkness within
the sun's sight and neither is there in yours. You can see clearly in
any level of light out to any distance. Magical darkness does not
impair your vision in any way.
Recitation of the Dancing Feather: Like a feather on a breeze,
you step lightly across the world. You gain a bonus equal to your
class level on all Balance, Climb, Jump, Move Silently, and Tumble
checks.
2ND LEVEL RECITATIONS
Recitation of the Pouncing Tiger: As few things are swifter
than a pouncing tiger, so is it with you. You gain a bonus to your
Dexterity equal to 1/2 your class level (minimum +1).
Recitation of the Mighty Bull: The strongest of men pale before
your might. You gain a bonus to your Strength equal to 1/2 your
class level (minimum +1).
Recitation of the Raging Bear: Few things are harder to stop
than an angry bear, and you claim that endurance for yourself.
You gain a bonus to your Constitution equal to 1/2 your class level
(minimum +1).
Recitation of the Changing Moon: Every night, the moon
shows the world a new face, and so can you. This recitation
functions as a disguise self spell, except that the effect is physical
instead of illusory and the duration is instantaneous (meaning it
lasts until another use of this ability is used to counteract it).
Recitation of the Coursing River: Water flows swiftly over even
the most broken of ground and so too do you. You can ignore any
9
movement penalty caused by difficult terrain.
3RD LEVEL RECITATIONS
Recitation of the Restless Wind: The wind can be anywhere in
an instant and so can you. You instantly teleport up to 10 feet per
class level. If a solid object occupies the location you would
appear in, you are shunted to the nearest open space. This
recitation has a duration of instantaneous.
Recitation of the Towering Oak: To an ancient tree, the world
seems much smaller. Emulating this perspective is a simple
matter, shrinking the world around you more to your liking. Your
size category increases by one step, with all the penalties and
bonuses associated.
Recitation of the Pounding Surf: The endless waves of water
wear away at the land, tearing down mighty cliffs one small grain
at a time. With this recitation, you emulate their relentlessness.
When making a full attack action, you may make one extra
attack. The attack is made using your full base attack bonus, plus
any modifiers appropriate to the situation. (This effect is not
cumulative with similar effects, such as that provided by a weapon
of speed, nor does it actually grant an extra action, so you can’t
use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in
the round.)
Recitation of the Unyielding Glacier: Even the strength of
mountains cannot turn aside a glacier, and your strength becomes
as theirs. You receive a bonus equal to your class level on all rolls
made to bull rush or overrun a creature as well as on all rolls to
resist being tripped, bull rushed, overrun, or otherwise moved
from your position. You do not provoke attacks of opportunity for
attempting to bull rush, overrun, or charge a creature.
4TH LEVEL RECITATIONS
Recitation of the Raging Inferno: As fire consumes all before
it, so to does this utterance consume all. All spell effects currently
affecting you, including the effects of any recitations you may
already have active, are immediately dispelled.
Recitation of the North Star: The north star is constant, never
changing or wavering in its course. This utterance allows you to
emulate that constancy, making you difficult to alter with magic.
You gain spell resistance equal to your Hit Dice + 5. Your own
recitations are not affected by this spell resistance, but any other
utterances you may know still are.
Recitation of the Weathered Stone: Despite the constant
wearing of wind and water, mountains still stand, barely harmed
by the elements. This recitation grants you a portion of their
resilience. You gain Damage Reduction/adamantine equal to 1/2
your class level (minimum 1/adamantine).
Recitation of the Shattered Wall: The hardest stone and the
toughest hide are as paper beneath your blows. You ignore the
hardness of objects and any damage resistance a creature might
have.
5TH LEVEL RECITATIONS
Recitation of the Empty Grave: The living do not belong
amongst the dead; of this you can be sure. While under the
effects of this utterance, you cannot die. You are immune to any
death effects. If you are reduced to 0 hit points, you are not
disabled, nor do you lose a hit point for taking a standard or full
action. If you are reduced to negative hit points, you are not
rendered unconscious and you do not automatically lose 1 hit
point each round. If you are reduced below -9 hit points, you do
not die. If you are still below -9 hit points when this recitation
ends, you immediately die.
Recitation of the Tranquil Pool: You clear your mind of all
knows that the verbal components of
distraction, making it as untroubled as a pond on a windless night. arcane spells are small fragments of
Any mind-affecting spell or ability currently affecting you is
dispelled and you become immune to mind-affecting spells and Truespeech. True scholars are those

but only briefly touched. With this recitation, you become as a two disciplines, gradually mastering
ghost, moving through the world unseen and untouched. This
recitation functions as an ethereal jaunt spell, except the duration both arcane magic and truename

CLASS FEATURES Truespeak DC as though the spell were an utterance.

As you advance as a true scholar, you learn new ways to combine

arcane magic and truename magic. Eventually, you learn ways to
treat one discipline as the other.

Utterances/Spellcasting: At each level, you gain new spells per

day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if
applicable) as if you had also gained a level in an arcane
spellcasting class to which you belonged before becoming a true
scholar. You also gain new utterances known as though you
gained a level in an utterance-using class you belonged to before
you became a true scholar. You do not, however, gain any other
benefits a character of either of these classes would have gained.
If you had more than one utterance using or arcane spellcasting
class before becoming a true scholar, you must choose to which
class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per
day, caster level, spells known, and utterances known.

Arcane Utterance (Su): Your mastery of arcane magic allows

you to use eldritch force to enhance your utterances in new ways.
At 1st level, you can only use magic to make reality easier to
affect. You can expend an arcane spell slot as part of speaking an
utterance to gain a bonus to your Truespeak check equal to the
level of the spell slot expended. This ability continues to improve
as you level.
At 5th level, you can use magic to enhance the force of your
utterances. By expending an arcane spell slot as you speak a
spell, you increase the save DC of the utterance by 1/2 the spell
slot's level (rounded up).
At 9th level, you can use your knowledge of arcane magic to
modify the properties of your utterances as though they were
spells. By expending an arcane spell slot, you can add a
metamagic feat you know to the utterance as though it were a
spell. The level of the spell slot expended must be at least twice
the level adjustment of the metamagic feat to be applied.
You can use any of these abilities on any utterance you know,
but you must expend a separate spell slot for each one of them
that you use.

Utter Spell (Su): As a true scholar, you understand that somatic

and material components are only substitutions the words of
truespeak that are the spell's only true component. As such,
starting at 2nd level, you can choose to cast any spell as though
you possessed the Eschew Materials feat and the spell was
modified with the Still Spell metamagic feat. Doing so gives the
spell a verbal component, even if it previously did not possess
one, and you must succeed on a Truespeak check (DC 20 + three
times the level of the spell) or the spell fails. You cannot apply the
effects of the Silent Spell feat to spells cast using Utter Spell. At
higher levels, this ability improves.
At 6th level, you can use the power of Truespeech to substitute
for more costly material components. When you use Utter Spell to
cast a spell, you can choose to ignore the material components
and raise the DC of the Truespeak check by 2 for every 100 gp
worth of material components you are attempting to ignore. You
cannot ignore only part of the material components. It must be all
or nothing. You cannot ignore a focus, only the material
components.
At 10th level, you can use the power of Truespeech to enhance
your spells. Whenever you use Utter Spell to cast a spell, you can

gained. If you had more than one utterance using
or divine spellcasting class before becoming a true
scholar, you must choose to which class to add
each level for the purpose of determining spells per
day, caster level, spells known, and utterances
known.
Turn or Rebuke Undead (Su): A wordspeaker
who already has the ability to turn or rebuke
undead adds his wordspeaker level to his effective
cleric level for all purposes related to turning or
rebuking undead.
A wordspeaker who doesn't have the ability to
turn or rebuke undead from another class gains the
ability to turn or rebuke undead (as appropriate to
his alignment) as a cleric of his wordspeaker level.
As with a cleric, a wordspeaker can use this ability a
number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma
modifier.
Smite the Unbeliever (Sp): At 2nd level, a
wordspeaker learns a word of Truespeak which
burns unbelievers who hear it spoken. This is a
special 3rd level utterance from the Lexicon of the
Evolving Mind. As part of speaking this utterance,
you must either expend a use of your turn or
rebuke undead ability or a divine spell slot of at
least 3rd level.
The creature targeted by this utterance takes 1d8
points of damage per two divine caster levels. If the
creature is an outsider, this damage is doubled.
This utterance only has an effect upon creatures
whose alignment does not share at least one
component with yours. For example, a lawful good
wordspeaker can use smite the unbeliever to harm
a barbarian (CN), but not a paladin of tyranny (LE).
Sanctify Ground (Sp): At 2nd level, a
wordspeaker learns a word of Truespeak which
imbues the ground beneath his feet with divine
power. This is a special 1st level utterance from the
Lexicon of the Perfected Map. As part of speaking
this utterance, you must either expend a use of
your turn or rebuke undead ability or a divine spell
slot of at least 4th level. For one minute, all
creatures that share at least one component of your
alignment that are within 30 feet of you are subject
to the following affects:
Affected creatures receive a +2 sacred bonus to
AC and a +2 sacred bonus to saves. Both of these
13
bonuses only apply against attacks made or effects
created by creatures which do not share at least
one component of your alignment.
Affected creatures that share at least one
component of your alignment receive a +4 bonus
on all rolls made to turn or rebuke undead.
Affected creatures are protected from mind
control as though by a protection from evil spell.
Lastly, summoned creatures that do not share at
least one component of your alignment cannot
bodily attack affected creatures.
For example, a neutral evil wordspeaker can use
sanctify ground to prevent a summoned celestial
dog (LG) from attacking his allies, but it cannot
prevent a summoned small earth elemental (N) or a
summoned chain devil (LE) from attacking his
allies.
Sacred Word (Sp): At 8th level, a wordspeaker
learns a word of Truespeak that sends unbelievers
reeling from its divine power. This is a special 4th
level utterance from the Lexicon of the Evolving
Mind. As part of speaking this utterance, you must
either expend a use of your turn or rebuke undead
ability or a divine spell slot of at least 6th level. The
degree by which the targeted creature is harmed
depends on the difference between its Hit Dice and
your divine caster level. The effects of this
utterance last 5 rounds.
Hit Dice Effect
Equal to or greater than caster level Deafened
Up to caster level –1 Blinded, Deafened
Up to caster level –5 Paralyzed, Blinded, Deafened
Up to caster level –10 Slain Instantly
Further, if the affected creature is an extraplanar
creature, it must succeed on a Will save or be
instantly banished back to its home plane.
Creatures so banished cannot leave their home
plane for 24 hours.
This utterance only has an effect upon creatures
whose alignment does not share at least one
component with yours. For example, a chaotic good
wordspeaker can use sacred word to harm a devil
(LE), but not a demon (CE).
Speak Unto the Masses (Su): At 9th level, a
wordspeaker learns to affect a number of creatures
with a single powerful utterance. You can only
affect creatures of the same alignment (lawful good

though a modify memory spell were used on the
subject to remove all traces of you. The subject's

your actions to circumstances, random chance, the
actions of others, or, if nothing else would make
sense, to an indistinct, faceless "someone." If a
creature succeed on the Will save, his existing
memories of you are forever safe from this effect,
but any later memories it develops remain fair
game for later uses of this ability. Creatures that
have been in your presence for a week or more are
immune to this effect until they have spent at least
a month away from you. This is a mind-affecting
ability.
Misplace Danger (Su): Starting at 4th level, the
universe occasionally misplaces harmful effects
currently affecting you whenever you change your
truename. Whenever you change your personal
truename, you can make a new save against each
ongoing spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural
ability affecting you. This save is made at the same
DC as the original. If you succeed on this new save,
the effect ends immediately. This ability never
restores lost hit points or ability score damage, but
it does eliminate conditions, such as shaken,
fatigued, or nauseated, that were caused by the
spell or effect.
New Face (Ex): Beginning at 5th level, the
universe starts to forget what you really look like.
Whenever you change your personal truename, you
can also change your appearance, as though you
used a disguise self spell. Unlike the spell, however,
this change is an actual change. It's effects are not
illusory, so nothing feels or sounds wrong, nor can
a true seeing spell see through the disguise. This
ability has no effect on your equipment you may be
wearing. As with a disguise self spell, you receive a
+10 bonus on the Disguise check if you use this
ability to create a disguise.
You can use this ability to disguise yourself as an
existing creature, but doing so requires you to
change your personal truename to something
similar to the creature's personal truename. This
requires that you know the creature's personal
15
truename and increases the DC of changing your
personal truename by 2.
Hide in Plain Sight (Su): Starting at 6th level, the
universe is really confused about you and this
shows in people's memories. People can forget you
are there even if you are standing right in front of
them. You can use the Hide skill even while being
observed. This ability does not apply against
creatures immune to mind-affecting abilities.
Lost Location (Su): At 8th level, the universe has
forgotten where you can actually be found. As such,
any attempt to find you using spells, spell-like
abilities, or supernatural abilities automatically fail.
You leave no tracks and have no scent, so most
forms of mundane tracking become impossible.
Were it possible to be seen, you also leave no
fingerprints. It is as if you have never been
anywhere at all.
Ageless (Ex): At 9th level, the universe is too busy
trying to keep track of who you are to bother with
such irrelevancies as your age. You no longer takes
ability score penalties for aging and cannot be
magically aged. Any penalties you may have
already incurred, however, remain in place.
Bonuses still accrue, but you can no longer die of
old age.
Nameless (Ex): At 10th level, the universe has
finally forgotten which personal truename is yours.
You still have one, but it no longer has any
connection to the being you are. As such, you can
no longer be affected by utterances using your
personal truename and all attempts to research
your personal truename automatically fail.
Additionally, the Truespeak DCs of all utterances
that target you (or that include you as a target, in
the case of utterances augmented with Speak Unto
the Masses) are increased by 4. This stacks with
other similar benefits, such as the benefits of the

CLASS FEATURES
As a fiendbinder, your exhaustive studies has finally
rewarded you with a mastery over the residents of
the lower planes. As your class level increases, you
can bind more powerful fiends and command them
with greater ease. Eventually, you can tap into the
powers of the great lords of the lower planes.
Utterances/Spellcasting: At each level except 1st
and 9th level, you either gain new spells per day
and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if
applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a
spellcasting class to which you belonged before
becoming a fiendbinder, or you gain new utterances
known as though you gained a level in an
utterance-using class you belonged to before you
became a fiendbinder. You do not, however, gain
any other benefits a character of either of these
classes would have gained. If you had more than
one utterance-using or spellcasting class before
becoming a fiendbinder, you must choose to which
class to add each level for the purpose of
determining spells per day, caster level, spells
known, and utterances known.
Bind Fiend (Su): At 1st level, you master the
complex rituals needed to call forth and bind a fiend
whose personal truename you know. You can
summon any outsider with the evil subtype,
referred to here as a fiend, whose CR is no greater
than (5 + your fiendbinder level). The ritual
consumes materials costing (fiend's CR squared x
100 gp) and takes 8 uninterrupted hours to
perform. Additionally, you must succeed in a
Truespeak check (DC 25 + the fiend's CR) to
successfully speak the fiend's personal truename
(the +2 difficulty for speaking a personal truename
is already included in the DC). At the conclusion of
the ritual, the fiend appears.
If the Truespeak check was successful, the fiend
is bound to your will. It isn't happy about its
service, but it cannot willingly attack you in any
way, even if you attack it. If the Truespeak check
failed, the fiend appears, but it is not bound and is
likely very angry about its attempted enslavement.
Many would-be fiendbinders meet their end at the
claws of a fiend they were unable to control.
Unless it is commanded to do otherwise, a bound
fiend must remain within 10 feet of you at all times
17
and can take no action (other than speaking or
following you as you move) that you do not
explicitly command (see below). If a bound fiend
ever moves more than 1 mile from you, it receives
an immediate Will save (DC 10 + your fiendbinder
level + your Charisma modifier) to break the bond,
but only one Will save per instance of moving
beyond this one mile mark. A bound fiend can
usually only attain this distance from its master due
to a careless command. Most fiends, once freed in
this fashion, return to their home plane, but
particularly vindictive fiends or those fiends that
you have enslaved for particularly often or for long
periods of time may choose to seek revenge.
You can free a bound fiend and banish it back to
its home plane as a standard action by speaking its
personal truename (Truespeak DC 25 + the fiend's
CR), if you wish.
You can bind multiple fiends if you have the gold
and time to do so. A bound fiend cannot use its
summoning ability. Since this is a calling effect,
bound fiends are truly dead when slain.
If you are killed, any fiend that was bound to you
prior to your death stays with your remains for 24
hours. It does not guard your body; it merely
remains nearby, tracking the passage of time
intently to determine if it will be set free. If you are
returned to life during that period, the fiend
remains bound to your service at no additional cost
to you. However, if 24 hours pass and you remain
dead, the fiend is released and sent back to the
place whence it came, dragging your soul behind it.
At that point, only a true resurrection spell or a
reversed unname utterance spoken with your
personal truename can return you to life, but if you
are brought back, your fiend comes back with you,
still bound to your service and with no additional
cost to you.
Command Fiend (Su): Due to the capricious and
violent tendencies of many fiends, it has always
proven far safer to bind fiends to take no action
unless you command it to do so, but because a
fiend is always an unwilling slave, you must compel
it to action with the power of its personal truename
or it will not act on your behalf. Doing so is a
standard action and requires you to succeed on a
Truespeak check (DC 20 + the fiend's CR). This DC
includes the +2 for speaking a personal truename.
Failure on this check means the fiend is not
compelled to do anything.
You can issue any one of the following commands
to a fiend:
Possible Commands
Attack a specific foe (attacks the foe until it is slain)
Defend me (attacks the first creature to attack you)
Deliver a message or package and return
Scout and report back
Serve as a steed for 1 hour (only for those fiends capa-
Stand watch for 8 hours and raise alarm if needed
Undertake repetitive labor for 1 hour
Use a skill on your behalf
Use a spell-like ability on your behalf
The fiend is compelled to carry out your orders to
the best of its abilities, but remember when issuing
a command that the fiend does not enjoy its service
and actively wishes you harm, so the fiend will take
whatever interpretation of your orders will cause
you the most harm. For example, if you instruct a
glabrezu demon to use its wish spell-like ability to
grant you wealth, it will likely do so by creating a
large block of gold directly over your head, hoping
to crush you beneath it.
You can issue a command to only a single fiend in
your service at one time (unless you possess the
Command the Fiendish Horde ability; see below)
and a fiend will only obey the latest command you
have given it. Commanding a fiend in this manner is
not subject to the Law of Resistance.
Fiendish Eloquence (Ex): Your extensive dealings
with fiends has allowed you to attain a great deal of
experience in convincing them to do your bidding.
Many such creatures fear your power over them.
Starting at 3rd level, you gain a bonus on
Charisma-based skill checks dealing with evil
outsiders equal to 1/2 your class level.
Bind Tormented Soul (Sp): The Lower Planes
house countless tormented souls, for they are the
primordial soup from which myriad fiends are born.
At 5th level, you learn the secret of calling one such
soul forth and binding its essence within yourself.
Your eyes turn dead black, your complexion pales,
and black veins form beneath your skin until the
tormented soul is released or destroyed. The
18
tormented soul has no alignment or awareness, per
se, and cannot be held at bay using magic circle
spells and similar effects.
Binding a tormented soul is an immediate action
that requires a Truespeak check (DC 20 + your
character level). If you know your personal
truename, you can use that as part of this ability. If
the check succeeds, you harness the tormented
soul's suffering and become inured to pain. You can
continue to act normally even when disabled
(reduced to 0 hitpoints) or dying (reduced to -1 to
-9 hit points). Additionally, you do not die at -10 hit
points or lower. Instead, while you are in this
condition, you can take a single move or standard
action each turn (but not both, nor can you take
full-round actions). Although you can take a move
action without further injuring yourself, performing
any standard action (or any other action the DM
deems as strenuous, including some free actions)
deals 1 point of damage to you after the act is
completed.
The binding you can place upon a tormented soul
is unstable however, and soon destroyed, releasing
the soul back to its prison on the Lower Planes. You
can only bind a tormented soul for a number of
rounds equal to 1/2 your class level. Once the
tormented soul is gone, you immediately incur the
normal effects for being at 0 hitpoints or negative
hitpoints (if your hit point total when the soul
departs is at 0 or below). In addition, assuming you
survive the ordeal, you are fatigued for 1 hour (if
you are already fatigued, you are exhausted
instead). You can voluntarily release a bound
tormented soul as a free action, but you still endure
the effects noted above.
This ability is subject to the Law of Resistance
and the Law of Sequence.
Swift Command (Su): Through long practice, you
master the art of swiftly commanding your fiendish
thralls. Starting at 7th level, you can use your
Command Fiend ability as a swift action. You can
still use Command Fiend as a standard action if you
wish, so you can now issue two commands in a
single round, one as a swift action and the other as
a standard action, allowing you to more easily
direct your slaves.
Gift of the Archfiend (Su): Through your studies beyond the first, the DC of your Truespeak check
of the truenames of fiends, you have uncovered the increases by 2.
secret of investing yourself with a fragment of
might taken from a powerful archfiend, one of the
Demon Princes of the Abyss, or one of the infernal
Archdukes of the Nine Hells. By uttering the
personal truename of one such being, you force the
entity to grant you power. The being does not
appear before you, but you become suffused with
infernal or demonic power.
Using this ability to take power from an archfiend
carries the risk of annoying or angering that great
being, so many fiendbinders curry favor with one
such entity to avoid its wrath when using this
ability. Still, others use it despite the risk.
To use this ability, you must have researched the
personal truename of at least one archfiend (and
many fiendbinders research the truenames of more
than one). The DC of the Knowledge (The Planes)
check needed to discover such a truename is 40
and 10 successful checks are needed to uncover the
truename.
Activating this ability is a standard action that
requires a successful DC 50 Truespeak check. This
ability is subject to the Law of Resistance and the
Law of Sequence. The gift of the archfiend lasts for
ten minutes. Depending on which kind of
archfiend's truename you speak, you gain one of
the following benefits:
Baatezu Traits: If you speak the personal
truename of an infernal Archduke of the Nine Hells,
you gain damage reduction 5/good and silver,
darkvision 60 feet, immunity to fire and poison, and
resistance to acid 10 and cold 10. In addition, you
can see in darkness of any kind (even that created
by the deeper darkness spell)
Tanar'ri Traits: If you speak the personal
truename of a Demon Prince of the Abyss, you gain
damage reduction 5/cold iron and good, darkvision
60 feet, immunity to electricity and poison, and
resistance to acid 10, cold 10, and fire 10.

Command the Fiendish Horde (Su): Your skill in

directing your thralls becomes unparalleled. You can
now use Command Fiend to give a single command
to as many of your fiends as you wish. The base DC
for your Truespeak check is equal to the most
powerful (highest CR) fiend in the group you wish
to command. For each fiend you wish to command

class rate, he receives additional ranks in those
skills as though they had always been class skills.
Silencing Smite (Su): Once per day per class
level, a warden of silence can deliver an attack that
renders its victims utterly silent. The warden makes
a normal melee attack and adds his Intelligence
bonus (if any) to the attack roll. If the attack
succeeds, the target is rendered utterly silent for
one minute. It cannot speak, cast spells with verbal
components, speak utterances (an exception to the
normal rule that utterances can still be spoken
while silenced), or even make noise. It
automatically succeeds on all Move Silently checks.
A warden of silence can deliver a Silencing Smite
as a melee touch attack that deals no damage.
Master Librarian (Ex): At 2nd level, a warden of
silence becomes infinitely familiar with libraries and
other repositories of knowledge, allowing him to
find anything he wishes to know about quickly.
Provided that he has access to a sufficiently stocked
library, he can take 20 on all Knowledge checks,
including those to research a personal truename.
Further, taking 20 on a Knowledge check does not
take the warden any more time than normal.
Finally, when researching a personal truename, no
creature is considered obscure to the warden of
silence.
Bonus Feats: At 2nd, 5th, and 8th levels, a warden
of silence gains a bonus feat. This bonus feat may
be any feat normally allowed as a fighter bonus feat
or one of the following feats: Truename Research,
Obscure Personal Truename, Personal Truename
Backlash, or Engrave Inscription.
Perfect Understanding of Gesture (Ex): At 3rd
level, the Warden of Silence acquires an uncanny
grasp of body language. As long as the warden can
see a creature and is within 100 feet of it, he can
understand every word that creature speaks just
from its body language, no matter what language
the creature is speaking. In addition, the warden
receives a +10 competence bonus on Sense Motive
checks.
Utterly Silent (Ex): At 4th level, the warden of
silence becomes perfectly silent. He makes no
21
sound as he moves, fights, or performs any other
action. He automatically succeeds on all Move
Silently checks.
Catalog of Utterances (Ex): At 5th level, the
warden of silence has become well versed in all
manner of utterances. He automatically succeeds
on all Truespeak checks to identify an utterance.
Further, he is treated as though he knew every
utterance for the purpose of meeting item creation
prerequisites.
Silence Disruption (Su): At 6th level, the warden
of silence learns ways to prevent even distant foes
from speaking. By expending two uses of his
silencing smite ability, he can attempt to silence
one creature within 60 feet as an immediate action.
The warden must succeed on a ranged touch attack
against the target, but he adds his Intelligence
bonus to the attack roll. If the attack is successful,
the target is rendered utterly silent, as though
affected by the warden's silencing smite ability. This
effect lasts for one minute. If the target was in the
middle of speaking an utterance or casting a spell
with a verbal component, the utterance or spell fails
and is wasted.
Transcendently Meaningful Gesture (Ex): At
7th level, the warden of silence learns how to
express even his most complex thoughts with but a
single gesture. Communicating in this manner is a
free action. Every creature within 100 feet that can
see the warden and has an Intelligence score of 3
or more can understand what the warden is trying
to communicate, regardless of what language they
normally speak.
All-Encompassing Awareness (Ex): At 9th level,
the warden of silence's awareness of his
surroundings reaches incredible levels. He gains
blindsight out to 30 feet.
Enforce Silence (Su): At 10th level, the warden of
silence masters silence itself. By expending two
uses of his silencing smite ability, he can create a
zone of absolute silence around himself. This zone
of silence is a 30-foot-radius emanation centered on
the warden and moves with him. Everything within
the area of this ability is silenced as though affected
by the warden's silencing smite ability. Creatures
that leave the area of this effect become able to
speak and make noise normally and creatures
entering the area become silenced for as long as
they remain within the area. This zone of silence
lasts for one minute.

TRUENAME FEATS
The following feats are of interest to anyone who
deals with truenames on a regular basis, whether
they’re truenamers, dabblers in Truespeak, or
opposed by those wielding the power of utterances.
Inflection Feats: Similar to the way that a
spellcaster learns metamagic feats to modify the
way in which he casts spells, a Truenamer learns to
modify his Utterances with Inflections. Each
Inflection raises the Utterance's Truespeak DC, but
increases the power of the Utterance in some way.
Speaking an inflected utterance takes no more time
than speaking an ordinary utterance unless
otherwise stated.
TRUENAME TRAINING
Unlike most of your peers, you have discovered
the secret power of truenames.
Benefit: The Truespeak skill is a class skill for
you, no matter what class you actually choose. If

Truenames are notoriously difficult to pronounce,
but yours is harder than most.
Benefit: The DC to speak your personal truename
increases by 4 (this stacks with the +2 increase
that normally applies to attempts to speak a
personal truename). In addition, the DC of
truespeak checks to speak your normal truename
(the one a truenamer would use if he didn't know
your personal truename) increases by 2. The DC of

warped by reality run amok.
Prerequisites: Obscure Personal Truename, 15
Hit Dice.
Benefit: Whenever a creature fails by 5 points or
more in an attempt to speak your personal
26
truename, it immediately takes 1d6 points of

well.
TRUENAME REBUTTAL
You are particularly good at negating other
truenamer's power with well-chosen truenames.
Prerequisites: Ability to speak utterances.
Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus on Truespeak

Prerequisites: Truename Rebuttal
Benefit: Whenever you successfully counter an
utterance, you can change the target of that
utterance to the speaker instead of negating it if
you so desire.
UTTERANCE FOCUS
You have a particular utterance you favor above
others, and your enemies are less able to resist
the power of your words.
Prerequisites: Ability to speak utterances.
Benefit: Pick an utterance you know. Add 1 to the
difficulty of all saving throws against that
utterance. You get a +2 bonus on Truespeak
checks when attempting to speak that utterance.
These benefits also apply to the reverse of your
favored utterance, if it has a reverse.
Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Its
effects do not stack. Each time you take this feat,
it applies to a new utterance.
GREATER UTTERANCE FOCUS
You are extremely adept with one particular
utterance, making it difficult for others to resist its
effects.
Prerequisites: Ability to speak utterances,
Utterance Focus
Benefit: Pick an utterance you know that you
have taken the Utterance Focus feat for. You add
an additional 1 to the difficulty of all saving throws
against that utterance and you get an additional
+2 bonus on Truespeak checks when attempting
 to speak that utterance. These benefits stack with
the benefits from the Utterance Focus feat. These
benefits also apply to the reverse of your favored
utterance, if it has a reverse.
Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Its
effects do not stack. Each time you take this feat,
it applies to a new utterance that you have taken
Utterance Focus for.
FOCUSED LEXICON
Your utterances have greater effect against a
certain type of creature.
Prerequisites: Truespeak 6 ranks, ability to speak
utterances.
Benefit: When you take this feat, choose a
creature type (such as aberrations, humanoids, or
dragons). The difficulty of all saving throws against
your utterances by creatures of that type are
increased by 1.
Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Its
effects do not stack. Each time you take this feat,
it applies to a new creature type.
EMPOWER UTTERANCE [INFLECTION]
Your utterances have more powerful effects
Prerequisites: Truespeak 6 ranks, ability to speak
utterances.
Benefit: If an empowered utterance is successful,
all the variable, numeric effects of the utterance
are increased by one-half. Saving throws and
opposed rolls are not affected, nor are spells
without random variables. An empowered
utterance has a Truespeak DC 4 higher than
normal.
ENLARGE UTTERANCE [INFLECTION]
You can project the power of an utterance to a
greater distance.
Prerequisites: Truespeak 6 ranks, ability to speak
utterances.
Benefit: The range of an enlarged utterance
increases by 100%. For most utterances, this
means the range becomes 120 feet. This feat has
no effect on utterances with a range of touch. An
enlarged utterance has a Truespeak DC 2 higher
than normal.
EXTEND UTTERANCE [INFLECTION]
Your utterances have a more lasting effect on the
universe.
27
Prerequisites: Truespeak 6 ranks, ability to speak
utterances.
Benefit: An extended utterance lasts twice as long
as normal. An utterance with a duration of
concentration or instantaneous is not affected by
this feat. An extended utterance has a Truespeak
DC 4 higher than normal.
QUICKEN UTTERANCE [INFLECTION]
You can speak an utterance with just a moment's
thought.
Prerequisites: Truespeak 12 ranks, ability to
speak utterances.
Benefit: Speaking a quickened utterance is a swift
action. You can perform some other action, even
speaking another utterance, in the same round as
you speak a quickened utterance. A quickened
utterance has a Truespeak DC 10 higher than
normal.
HEIGHTENED UTTERANCE [INFLECTION]
Your utterances are more difficult to resist than
they would otherwise be.
Prerequisites: Truespeak 9 ranks, ability to speak
utterances.
Benefit: When speaking a heightened utterance,
you can voluntarily increase the Truespeak DC of
the utterance. For every 2 points by which you
increase the Truespeak DC, the effective utterance
level of the utterance and the saving throw DC
both increase by 1. All effects that depend on
utterance level (such as the DCs of Concentration
checks and ability to penetrate a lesser globe of
invulnerability) are calculated according to the new
effective level.
INAUDIBLE UTTERANCE [INFLECTION]
You can speak an utterance with barely a whisper.
Prerequisites: Truespeak 6 ranks, ability to speak
utterances.
Benefit: An inaudible utterance is difficult to hear.
Listeners must succeed on a Listen check (DC
equal to the result of your Truespeak check) to
hear you speak the utterance. This Listen check
suffers penalties for distance as normal. Inaudible
utterances spoken while deafened or otherwise
unable to hear yourself speak suffer no chance of
failure. An inaudible utterance has a Truespeak DC
2 higher than normal.

ECHO UTTERANCE [INFLECTION]
Your utterances refuse to fade away quietly.
Prerequisites: Truespeak 12 ranks, ability to
speak utterances.
Benefit: Once an echoing utterance's duration is
up, it attempts to speak itself on its target. As long
as the caster's original Truespeak check - 5 is high
enough to speak the utterance on the target, a
new instance of the echoing utterance is spoken
onto the target, using the reduced Truespeak
check as its original Truespeak check. The newly
spoken utterance is also an echoing utterance, but
does not count against the original speaker for the
purpose of the Law of Resistance. An utterance
with a duration of concentration or instantaneous
is not affected by this feat. An echoing utterance
has a Truespeak DC 6 higher than normal.

BOTTLE ECHO [ITEM CREATION]

You can capture the sounds of Truespeech in a
bottle for later use.
Prerequisites: Truespeak 6 ranks, ability to speak
utterances.
Benefit: You can create a bottled echo of any
utterance from the Lexicon of the Evolving Mind
that you know. Bottling an echo takes one day for
each 1000 gp in its base price. The base price of a
bottled echo is its utterance level x the maximum
CR that it can affect x 25 gp. To bottle an echo,

28
UTTERANCES
An utterance is a combination of words in
Truespeech that describe a creature, place, or
object to be affected and the desired effect
(such as "control speed" or "wreathe in fire").
By putting these truenames together in exact-
ing fashion, you create a rudimentary sen-
tence in the language of the universe—an ut-
terance. As a truenamer, you don't know the
truename for every creature and object in the
world, but you can describe them in the lan-
guage of Truespeech. To do so is to speak an
utterance. When you speak an utterance
properly, reality reshapes itself to conform to
the power of your words.
You learn utterances as you progress in lev-
el, starting with the simplest creature-oriented
utterances and progressing to more powerful
and more diverse utterances. Utterances are
divided into three lexicons, or groups of relat-
ed words. As a truenamer, you learn many
words in Truespeech, but only a few practiced
phrases that you can turn into true utterances
that carry the full power of Truespeech - and
that power can change reality itself. Utteranc-
es can be described as follows.
SPEAKING AN UTTERANCE
To speak an utterance, you need only speak in
a clear voice as loud as a spellcaster. Howev-
er, because the language of truenames re-
quires such precision of pronunciation and tim-
ing, an utterance takes a standard action to
perform and provokes attacks of opportunity
from threatening enemies.
Utterances are spell-like abilities with verbal
components (unlike other spell-like abilities,
which have no components) that requires a
successful Truespeak check to complete. Your
effective caster level for your utterances is
your ranks in Truespeak - 3.
29
UTTER DEFENSIVELY
If you're worried about attacks of opportunity,
you can utter defensively by accepting a -5
penalty on your Truespeak check for each foe
who would hit you. In exchange, the utterance
no longer provokes attacks of opportunity.
SPELL RESISTANCE
Spell resistance applies to your utterances, so
you must succeed on a caster level check to
overcome the spell resistance of creatures you
speak utterances on. Because your utterances
are spell-like abilities, the Spell Penetration
and Greater Spell Penetration feats make
those caster level checks easier, just as they
do for spellcasters. When you deliver an utter-
ance, its effective caster level for the purpose
of bypassing spell resistance is your ranks in
Truespeak - 3. In addition, when speaking an
utterance, you can voluntarily increase the DC
of a Truespeak check by 5 to automatically
overcome a target's spell resistance.
PERSONAL TRUENAME
Almost everything has a personal truename,
right down to individual grains of sand. Some
of these can be discovered through mundane
research, but the more obscure personal true-
names require divinations or even more pow-
erful effects to discover. Personal truenames
are more complex than more general true-
names, but knowing one gives your utterances
more power when used on that creature or
object.
If you know something's personal truename,
the save DC of your utterances used against
that creature or object increases by 2 and
those utterances have an additional effect on
that creature in addition to their normal effect.
However, speaking a personal truename is
more difficult.

THE LEXICON OF THE EVOLVING MIND
Utterances from the Lexicon of the Evolving
Mind forms the bulk of a truenamer's
knowledge. These potent phrases in the
language of Truespeech enable you to
persuade the universe to change with respect
to a single creature. Without exception, each
of these utterances shares the following
characteristics.
These utterances can only target a single
creature, unless you are of high enough level
to have the truenamer's Speak Unto the
Masses class feature.
Each utterance from this lexicon, and this
lexicon alone, can be spoken in reverse. When
you learn a new utterance, you effectively
learn two unique, but related, ways to alter
the world. Each entry in this lexicon has
descriptive text for the normal version of the
utterance and its reverse. The duration and
saving throw requirement for the normal way
to speak an utterance might differ from its
reverse, which will be called out in the
utterance's statistics at the top of the entry.

ACCELERATED ATTACK
Level: 2
Descriptors: None
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: None
Normal: The target gains the use of the Spring Attack feat, even
if he does not meat the prerequisites.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target does not provoke attacks of opportunity
for his movement while under its effects.
Reverse: The target can make a special Concentration check
(DC 20 + spell level) when casting a spell. If the check succeeds,
he can cast the spell and move up to his speed as a single
standard action. (The target can't use this ability to cast a spell
that takes longer than one standard action to cast.) If the check
fails, the target loses the spell, just as if he had failed a
Concentration check to cast the spell defensively.
The target still provokes attacks of opportunity for casting spells
from any creature that threatened him at any point in his
movement. He can cast defensively while under the effect of this
utterance, but doing so increases the Concentration DC to 25 +
spell level.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target does not provoke attacks of opportunity
for his movement while under its effects.
ARCHER'S EYE
Level: 2
Duration: 5 rounds

Normal: Your target's ranged attacks ignore penalties for
concealment.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target can ignore any cover less than full with
her ranged attacks.
Reverse: This utterance duplicates the effect of a protection from
arrows spell for the target.

33
this utterance, the DR provided is 10/— instead of 10/magic.
BREATH OF CLEANSING
Level: 3
Duration: Instantaneous (normal) or 1 round (reverse)
Saving Throw: None (normal) or Fortitude negates (reverse)
Normal: Your utterance fills your target with a breath of living
magic, granting him the ability to make a second attempt to save
against an ongoing spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability.
This save is made at the same DC. If the subject succeeds on the
saving throw on the second attempt, the effect ends immediately.
Breath of cleansing never restores lost hit points or ability score
damage, but it does eliminate any conditions, such as shaken,
fatigued, or nauseated, that were caused by the spell, spell-like
ability, or supernatural ability. The breath of cleansing is magical
and thus affects creatures that don't ordinarily breathe.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target can make a second save against an
additional spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability that may
be affecting him.
Reverse: The target of this utterance must make a successful
Fortitude save or be nauseated for one round.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target is sickened for one round following the
end of the utterance.
BREATH OF RECOVERY
Level: 4
Duration: Instantaneous (normal) or 1 round (reverse)
Saving Throw: None (normal) or Fortitude negates (reverse)
Normal: This utterance, more powerful than breath of cleansing,
immediately ends any and all of the following adverse conditions
affecting the target: ability damage, blinded, confused, dazed,
dazzled, deafened, diseased, exhausted, fatigued, feebleminded,
insanity, nauseated, sickened, stunned, and poisoned.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target gains a +4 bonus to Strength and
Dexterity for one round.
Reverse: A reversed breath of recovery utterance freezes the life
energy of the target, rendering action impossible. The target must
make a successful Fortitude save or be paralyzed.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target takes a -6 penalty to Strength and
Dexterity for one round after being paralyzed.
CASTER LENS
Level: 4
Duration: 3 rounds
Saving Throw: None
Normal: Your target's caster level or manifester level increases
by 2 for the duration of this utterance. This utterance does not
affect spells per day or spells known. If the target has multiple
spellcasting or manifesting classes, the bonus applies to all of
them.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the targets caster level or manifester level
increases by an additional 1.

Reverse: Your target's caster level or manifester level decreases
by 2 for the duration of this utterance. This utterance does not
affect spells per day or spells known. If the target has multiple
spellcasting or manifesting classes, the penalty applies to all of
them.
Affected spellcasters and manifesters lose access to any level of
spells or powers that they no longer have sufficient level to cast.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the targets caster level or manifester level
decreases by an additional 1.
CONFOUNDING RESISTANCE
Level: 4
Duration: 5 rounds
Saving Throw: None
Normal: You grant your target the ability to avoid harmful
effects. If the target makes a successful save against an attack
that would have a lesser effect on a successful save, he instead
negates the effect. An unconscious or sleeping target does not
gain the benefit of this ability.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target gets a +2 bonus on all saves for the
duration of the utterance.
Reverse: You make your target more vulnerable to harmful
effects. If your target has improved evasion, you reduce its
effectiveness to evasion. If your target does not have improved
evasion, but has evasion, you suppress that ability. If your target
has neither improved evasion or evasion, it takes a -2 penalty on
saving throws for the duration of the utterance.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target takes a -2 penalty on saving throws for
the duration of the utterance. This stacks with the -2 from the
normal effect of the utterance, if applicable.
DEFENSIVE EDGE
Level: 1
Duration: 5 rounds
Saving Throw: None
Normal: This utterance grants your target a +1 bonus to Armor
Class.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target gets an additional +1 bonus to Armor

34
or a solid object. You can draw a flying creature closer to you, but
you cannot make a creature on the ground fly.
The Truespeak DC of this utterance increases by 2 for every size
category the target is larger than Medium.
This movement provokes attacks of opportunity.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the Truespeak DC does not increase, no matter
how large the target may be.
Reverse: You move your target away from you up to 40 feet with
an almost fluid torrent of intangible energy. You can't move the
target in a space that is occupied by an ally, an enemy, or a solid
object. You can push an airborne flying creature away from you,
but you cannot make a creature on the ground fly.
The Truespeak DC of this utterance increases by 2 for every size
category the target is larger than Medium.
This movement provokes attacks of opportunity.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the Truespeak DC does not increase, no matter
how large the target may be.

which energy is chosen)
Duration: 5 rounds
Saving Throw: None
Normal: This utterance grants your target resistance 10 to one
type of energy (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic).
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target receives resistance 15 instead of
resistance 10.
Reverse: The subject of this utterance is wreathed in a nimbus of
energy and takes 2d6 points of damage from the utterance each
round. The energy can be acid, cold, electricity, or fire.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the subject takes 3d6 points of energy damage
each round instead of 2d6.
ENERGY NEGATION, GREATER
Level: 5
Descriptors: Acid, Cold, Electricity, Fire, or Sonic (depending on
which energy is chosen), possibly others.
Duration: 5 rounds
Saving Throw: None
Normal: This utterance grants your target immunity to one type
of energy of your choice. This can include such energies as force,
positive energy, or negative energy. The descriptor of this
utterance matches the energy type chosen.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, whenever the target would normally receive
damage of the chosen energy type, that damage is negated and
they are healed for half of the amount of damage that would
otherwise be dealt.
Reverse: The utterance wreathes your target in a type of energy
chosen by you when you speak this utterance (acid, cold,
electricity, or fire). Any creature that damages the subject with its
body or a handheld melee weapon deals normal damage, but at
the same time the attacker takes 20 points of energy damage.
Creatures wielding weapons with exceptional reach, such as
longspears, are not subject to this damage if they attack the
subject.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, even attackers wielding reach weapons or
attacking with ranged weapon are affected. As long as an attacker
is within 10 feet of your subject, it takes the energy damage each
time it successfully attacks the target.
ESSENCE OF LIFESPARK
Level: 4
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None; see text
Normal: This utterance dispels one negative level and restores
experience to a creature that has been level drained. The drained
level is restored only if the time since the creature lost the level is
equal to or less than one day per truenamer level.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, it restores two lost levels or dispels two negative
levels instead of only one.
Reverse: The target of this utterance gains a negative level,
giving it a -1 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks,
ability checks, and effective level (for determining the power,
duration, and other details of spells or special abilities).
Additionally, a spellcaster loses one spell or spell slot from her
highest available level. Negative levels stack. A creature with as
many negative levels as it has Hit Dice dies.
Negative levels bestowed by this utterance remain until 24
hours have passed or until they are removed with a spell or
utterance, such as the normal version of this utterance. If a
negative level is not removed before 24 hours have passed, the
affected creature must attempt a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2
your ranks in Truespeak + your Int modifier). On a success, the
negative level goes away with no harm to the creature. On a
failure, the negative level goes away, but the creature’s level is
also reduced by one. A separate saving throw is required for each
negative level.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target suffers two negative levels instead of
one.
ETHER REFORGED

Saving Throw: None
Normal: You enable the target to gain full benefit from its armor,

this utterance, the target can apply the benefits of its armor and
shield bonus (if any) against touch attacks.
Reverse: This reversed utterance renders the target ethereal, as
the ethereal jaunt spell.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target can still affect targets on the Material
Plane as he wishes, including being able to attack freely, but is
still incorporeal and invisible with regards to everything else.
Effectively, the target is treated as being on the Material Plane or
35
the Ethereal Plane, whichever would be better for the target.
HIDDEN TRUTH
Level: 2
Duration: Until discharged (up to 1 minute).
Saving Throw: None
Normal: You grant the target a +10 bonus on the next
Knowledge check he makes and enable him to use the skill, even
if untrained. If the target has bardic knowledge, lore, or a similar
class feature, this bonus can apply to that check instead.

this utterance, the target gains an additional +5 bonus on that
check. This stacks with the normal bonus provided by the
utterance.
Reverse: Your target gains a +10 bonus on the next bluff check
he makes.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target gains an additional +5 bonus on that
check. This stacks with the normal bonus provided by the
utterance.
INCARNATION OF ANGELS
Level: 3
Descriptors: Good (normal) or Evil (reverse)
Duration: 5 rounds
Saving Throw: None
Normal: The target temporarily gains the celestial creature
template (MM 31). The smite ability granted by the template is
usable by the target once per day, no matter how often she may
be the subject of this utterance.

this utterance, the benefits the target receives resemble the
benefits of being half-celestial. She temporarily becomes a native
outsider and receives a temporary +2 to all ability scores. She
also gains a pair of feathered wings that allow her to fly at twice
her normal speed with good maneuverability.
Reverse: The target temporarily gains the fiendish creature
template (MM 107). The smite ability granted by the template is
usable by the target once per day, no matter how often she may
be the subject of this utterance.

this utterance, the benefits the target receives resemble the
benefits of being half-fiend. She temporarily becomes a native
outsider and receives a temporary +2 to all ability scores. She
also gains a two claw attacks and a bite attack, as appropriate to
her size.
INERTIA SURGE
Level: 1
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: None

regardless of magical effects that impede movement as if he were
affected by a freedom of movement spell. The effect occurs
automatically as soon as the utterance is spoken and lasts for 1
round.
 Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target may immediately (as a free action, even
if it is not their turn) move five feet without provoking attacks of
opportunity. This occurs immediately on the turn you speak this
utterance, and does not count against the creature's normal move
speed or limit on one five-foot step per round.
Reverse: You render the target unable to move. It can still take
actions normally; it just can't move from the space it currently
occupies.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target counts as flanked for the duration of the

Normal: The target of this utterance can fly, as the fly spell.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the subject has perfect maneuverability with his
flight speed.
Reverse: This reversed utterance causes the target to become
unable to fly, no matter how hard it tries. If it is already flying,
the subject floats downward at 60 feet per round for the duration
of the utterance. If it reaches the ground in that time, it lands
safely and cannot fly for remainder of the duration. If the target is
not flying, it cannot attempt to fly for the duration.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target is forced down at 100 feet per round
instead of only 60 feet per round.
SENSORY FOCUS
Level: 4
Duration: 3 rounds
Saving Throw: None (normal) or Fortitude negates (reverse)
Normal: You grant the target blindsight out to 120 feet and the
effects of the true seeing spell.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, ??
Reverse: Your target is both blinded and deafened (DMG 300).
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, ??
SERPENT'S TONGUE
Level: 3
Descriptors: Mind-affecting (normal version only)
Duration: 5 rounds (normal) or instantaneous (reverse; see text)
Saving Throw: Will negates (normal) or Fortitude negates
(reverse)
Normal: Your words poison the target's mind, causing him to turn
against his former friends.
For the duration of this utterance, your target's attitude towards
you becomes friendly. Its attitude towards its former friends and
allies becomes hostile. Additionally, the power of this utterance
fogs your target's memory, making it impossible for the target to
realize the reason behind its sudden change of heart.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target's attitude towards you does not return
to normal at the end of the utterance, although it is no longer
magically enforced. The target's attitude towards its friends and
allies does return to normal, however.
Reverse: Instead of attacking the target's mind, the vitriolic
words you speak poison the subject's body.
The target is immediately poisoned. This poison deals 1d6
points of Constitution damage immediately and 1d6 points of
Constitution damage one minute later. Each instance of damage
can be negated with a successful Fortitude save.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the poison deals 2d4 points of Constitution damage
with each instance instead of 1d6.

SEEK THE SKY, GREATER

Level: 5 SILENT CASTER
Duration: 5 rounds (normal) or instantaneous (reverse)

SINGULAR MIND
Level: 6
Duration: Instantaneous (normal) or concentration, up to 5
rounds (reverse)
Saving Throw: None (normal) or Will negates (reverse)
Normal: This utterance frees your target from enchantments,
curses, and possession. If the spell or effect is one that cannot be
dispelled by dispel magic, singular mind works only if the
truespeaker's level is greater than that of the original caster.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, singular mind can freely remove even effects that
cannot normally be dispelled by dispel magic, even if the original
caster is of higher level.
Reverse: This utterance duplicates the effect of a dominate
monster spell, except that to maintain domination, you must
spend a standard action to concentrate and direct the creature's
actions.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the need to concentrate on the utterance is waved.
If the subject fails its Will save, it is dominated for 5 rounds.
SPEED OF THE ZEPHYR
Level: 2
Duration: 5 rounds
Saving Throw: None
Normal: Your target's base speed increases by 20 feet. In
addition, he can walk on water, quicksand, snow, or even a
spider's web without sinking through the surface (this effect
confers no resistance to particularly sticky webs). In addition, the
target can take part of one of its move actions to traverse a wall
or other relatively vertical surface if it begins and ends its
movement on a horizontal surface. The height it can achieve on
the wall is limited only by this horizontal restriction. If it does not
end its move on a horizontal surface, it falls prone, taking falling
damage as appropriate for its distance above the ground. Treat
the wall as normal floor for the purpose of measuring movement.
Passing from floor to wall or wall to floor costs no movement.
Opponents on the ground can make attacks of opportunity as the
target moves up the wall.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target ignores the effects of difficult terrain for
the duration of this utterance. This does not grant immunity to
damage caused by hazardous terrain; for instance, a target could
move across a pit of lava at full speed, but would still be subject
to fire damage.
Reverse: Your target's base speed is reduced by 10 feet.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target’s base speed is further reduced by an
additional 5 feet.
38
SPEED OF THE ZEPHYR, GREATER
Level: 3
Duration: 3 rounds
Saving Throw: None
Normal: This utterance duplicates the effect of a haste spell for
one target.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target gets an additional +2 bonus on attack
rolls and an additional +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.
Reverse: This utterance duplicates the effect of a slow spell for
one target.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target takes an additional –2 penalty on attack
rolls, AC, and Reflex saves.
STRIKE OF MIGHT
Level: 2
Duration: 5 rounds or until discharged.
Saving Throw: None
Normal: Your target's next weapon damage roll deals an
additional 10 points of damage. This damage is not multiplied on
critical hits.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, your target's next weapon damage roll deals an
additional 15 points of damage instead.
Reverse: Your target's next damage roll deals 5 fewer points of
damage. This penalty can reduce the damage to 0, but not below.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, your target's next weapon damage roll deals 10
fewer points of damage instead.
TEMPORAL HURRICANE
Level: 6
Duration: 1 round of apparent time (normal) or instantaneous
(reverse)
Saving Throw: None
Normal: Your words unravel a portion of the time stream around
your target, granting it a few brief moments in which to act.
When you speak this utterance, the target can immediately take a
full round's worth of actions. Taking these action doesn't change
the subject's place in the initiative order or interfere with its
normal actions in any way.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target’s base speed increases by 5 feet for one
round.
Reverse: Your words temporarily reverse the flow of time,
throwing your target backwards a few moments in time.
The target reverts back to its physical state in the previous
round. The target vanishes from its current location and reappears
where it was last round. If that location is occupied by a solid
object, the target appears in the nearest open space. Any damage
that the target may have suffered and any healing it may have
received since the previous round are removed, as are the effects
of any poison, disease, spell, maneuver, or other effect that has
affected the target since the previous round. The target is not
mentally reverted, however, so it remembers everything that has
transpired normally. Any spells that the target has cast remain
cast, any magic items that it has used remain used, powers
manifested remain manifest, etc.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target’s base speed increases by 5 feet for one
round.
TEMPORAL SPIRAL
Level: 3
Duration: 1 round (normal) or 3 rounds (reverse)
Saving Throw: None (normal) or Will negates (reverse)
Normal: You grant the target of this utterance an additional move
action in the current round. If the subject of the utterance does
not take this extra move action before the end of your next turn,
it is lost.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance and the extra move action is not used, the effect
lasts until the end of their next turn instead.
Reverse: For the duration of this utterance, the target is dazed.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target takes a –3 penalty on their saving
throw.
TEMPORAL TWIST
Level: 2
Duration: Instantaneous (normal) or 1 round (reverse)
Saving Throw: None (normal) or Will negates (reverse)
Normal: Your target can immediately make one melee or ranged
attack, even it has already taken its actions for the round. Taking
this action doesn't change the subject's place in the initiative
order.
This utterance does not allow the subject to take more than one
additional attack in a round. If the target has already made an
additional attack, due to the haste spell, snake's swiftness spell,
or from any other source, this utterance has no effect.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, and the target has already made an additional
attack, Temporal Twist takes effect the following round.
Reverse: The target is dazed for one round.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target takes a –1 penalty on their saving
throw.
UNIVERSAL APTITUDE
Level: 1
Duration: 5 rounds
Saving Throw: None
Normal: Your target gains a +5 bonus on skill checks.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the targeted creature can use all skills as though
trained, even if he does not have any ranks in that skill.
Reverse: The target gets a -5 penalty on skill checks.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the targeted creature is considered untrained in all
39
skills, regardless of the number of ranks he may have in that skill.
UNNAME
Level: 6
Descriptors: Death (normal version only)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (normal) or none (reverse)
Normal: Your words erase the creature's truename from
existence, killing it instantly.
The target creature must succeed on its saving throw, or die
instantly.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the creature is erased from existence on a failed
saving throw instead of merely dying. The creature instantly
vanishes, leaving behind its clothing and gear, but nothing else.
The creature cannot be returned to life by any normal means, as
it has been irrevocably erased from existence. Only a ritual of
renaming spell coupled with a true resurrection spell or similar
magic can restore the creature to life. Attempting to erase a
creature in this manner costs you 200 XP per Hit Dice of the
affected creature.
Reverse: Your words remind the universe of a creature and its
place among the living.
This utterance instantly restores a dead creature to life. So long
as you have some portion of the creature's remains (which must
have been part of the creature at the time of death) are within
range and the creature's soul is free and willing to return, it is
instantly restored to life with no loss of spells. The creature still
loses a level, or 2 points of Constitution if it has only a single
level, which cannot be restored by any means. A creature that
would be reduced to 0 Constitution or below cannot be raised by
this utterance.
The revived creature has a number of hitpoints equal to its Hit
Dice, but its body is made otherwise whole. Normal poisons and
normal diseases are cured in the process of raising the subject,
but supernatural diseases and magical curses are not undone.
This utterance can restore creatures killed by death effects or
that have been turned into an undead creature and the destroyed.
It can restore outsiders and elementals to life, but it cannot
restore anyone who died of old age. Each use of this utterance
costs 2000 XP.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the truenamed creature is restored to life without
need to have any portion of the subject's remains nearby. The
creature appears before you, fully healed and free of all negative
conditions. The creature does not lose a level. Even creatures
erased from existence (such as by the normal version of this
utterance) can be restored. Using a personal truename for this
utterance increases the XP cost to a total of 5000 XP.
VISION SHARPENED

THE LEXICON OF THE CRAFTED TOOL
Unlike utterances from the Lexicon of the
Evolving Mind, the utterances in this lexicon
have no meaning or power when reversed. All
the utterances in this lexicon target objects -
often the weapons and armor that you, your
allies, or your enemies use. Spell Resistance
applies to these utterances, as it does
normally to spell-like abilities. Also as normal,
attended objects gain the benefit of their
wielder's spell resistance, if any. However, any
item targeted by one of these utterances -
attended or not - do not get to save to avoid
the effects.
1ST LEVEL UTTERANCES
Agitate Metal: Cause a creature's metal equipment to radiate
painful heat or cold.
Analyze Item: Discern the properties of a magic item.
Fortify Armor: Make a creature's armor able to negate critical
hits and sneak attacks.
Keen Weapon: Improve the threat range of a weapon.
Word of Opening: Door or portal opens.
2ND LEVEL UTTERANCES
Seize Item: Bring an object within range to your hand.
Suppress Weapon: Suppress the energy properties of a weapon.
Weapon of Energy: Weapon deals extra energy damage.
Planar Gateway: Door opens onto another word.
Terminate Spell: Dispel one spell or supernatural ability.
Twist Spell: Convert the damage of a spell from one type to
another
3RD LEVEL UTTERANCES
Motion to the Motionless: Animate an object to serve you.
Rebuild Item: Restore an item destroyed within the last round to
perfect form and functionality.
Spell Rebirth: Restore a dispelled or dismissed spell.
Suppress Item: Suppress the properties of a magic item.
Transmute Weapon: Change a weapon's special material.
Create Object: As a major creation spell.
4TH LEVEL UTTERANCES
Charge Item: Give a staff or wand temporary charges.
Metamagic Catalyst: Give a potion or scroll the benefit of a
metamagic feat.
Invulnerability: Make an object immune to all damage.
5TH LEVEL UTTERANCES
Unmake: Return an item to its component parts.
Redirect Spell: Change the target of a spell.
42
AGITATE METAL
Level: 1
Target: Metal equipment of one creature or one metal object
Duration: 7 rounds
This utterance functions as a chill metal spell or heat metal spell.
You choose which effect - cold or hot - you want to generate when
you speak the utterance.
Personal Truename: If you use the object's personal truename
to speak this utterance, the object immediately heats to searing
or cools to freezing, as appropriate, and remains that way for the
duration of the utterance.
ANALYZE ITEM
Level: 1
Range: Touch
Target: One object
Duration: Instantaneous
By chanting the various truenames associated with perception and
analysis, you determine all the magical properties of the targeted
object, including how to activate those functions (if appropriate)
and how many charges are left (if any). You also learn any and all
spells currently cast upon the object. You cannot determine the
function of an artifact with this utterance.
Personal Truename: If you use the object's personal truename
to speak this utterance, you also learn part of the object's history.
You learn the name (but not truename), race, gender, age, and
alignment of anyone who has owned the object in the past year,
as well as any significant event (as judged by the DM) that has
involved the object in the past year.
Events of incredible importance (such as the slaying of an
ancient dragon or the coronation of a great king) sometimes
imprint on the item (DM's discretion). These events are always
revealed, no matter how much time has passed, as well as
whoever owned the object at that time of the event.
CHARGE ITEM
Level: 4
Target: One wand or staff with charges remaining
Duration: 1 minute
Your words grant the targeted item 2d4 temporary charges, but
the item loses one permanent charge. Temporary charges work
much like temporary hit points: when a character uses the item,
the temporary charges are used first. When charge item ends, all
remaining temporary charges are lost.
Personal Truename: If you speak the personal truename of the
object as part of this utterance, the duration of this utterance
becomes instantaneous. Instead of gaining 2d4 temporary
charges at the cost of one permanent charge, the targeted wand
or staff gains 1 permanent charge at the cost of 3 XP per caster
level of the targeted object.
CREATE OBJECT
Level: 3
Effect: One created non-magical object
Duration: 1 minute
You describe an object to the universe and convince the cosmos
that it exists, creating it from your words alone.

KEEN WEAPON
Level: 1

This utterance functions as the keen weapon spell, except as
noted here. In addition, you can augment the threat range of any
weapon, not just piercing or slashing weapons.
Personal Truename: If you use the object's personal truename
to speak this utterance, the weapon's critical multiplier increases
by 1, so a weapon that does x2 damage on a critical hit would

With a few words, you trick the universe, making it believe that a
doorway's destination lies not on this plane, but on another.
The targeted doorway fills with silvery light, becoming a portal
to another realm of existence. Those who step through it are
transported to some location on a plane you specify. With this
utterance, you can open the gateway within 5 to 500 miles (5d%)
of a particular location on the plane you specify. A portal you open

pass through to the same location, so as long as creatures use the
same gateway they will not become split up. Two way travel

end is hard to determine, this can be difficult to exploit.
Personal Truename: If you speak the personal truename of one
or more creatures as part of this utterance, only the named
creature(s) can pass through the portal in either direction. Each

43
personal truename included increases the DC to speak this
utterance by 2.
If you speak the personal truename of another doorway as part
of this utterance, the gateway created connects the two, allowing
you to be certain of the destination's location.
REBUILD ITEM
Level: 3
Target: One destroyed item
Duration: Instantaneous
With this utterance, you instantly restore an item destroyed within
the last round to its normal, undamaged state. Magic items
affected by this power retain all their magical properties, unlike an
item restored with a make whole spell. The reconstituted item has
full hit points.
You cannot restore a destroyed artifact with this utterance.
Personal Truename: If you use the object's personal truename
to speak this utterance, the amount of time the item has been
destroyed becomes less important. As long as the item has not
been broken for more than one minute, it is completely restored.
REDIRECT SPELL
Level: 5
Target: One spell
Duration: Instantaneous
You order a spell to shift its course and it obeys.
To use this utterance, you must ready an action, similar to
readying an action to counterspell or counterspeak. If you
successfully speak this utterance, you can change the target of
the spell to any legal target within range of the original caster and
within 60 feet of you. For example, a slay living spell that was
targeting your ally could be changed to target the caster
(provided the caster is a living creature), but not a creature 30
feet away (as the spell still has a range of touch).
The DC of a Truespeak to speak the truename of a spell is 15 +
twice the utterance's level + the spell's caster level. If you have
not successfully identified the spell being cast (through a
successful Spellcraft check or some other ability), the Truespeak
DC of this utterance increases by 5.
Personal Truename: If you use the spell's personal truename to
speak this utterance, you can ignore the spell's normal range and
target the spell anywhere within 60 feet of yourself. For example,
you could redirect a cure serious wounds spell cast by an enemy
cleric on a troll to an ally 30 feet away, even though the spell has
a range of touch.
Each kind of spell has a personal truename that applies to every
casting of that spell. The Knowledge (arcana) check needed to
research this personal truename has a DC of 20 + (3 x the spell's
level) and requires a number of successful checks equal to the
spell's level. For example, to research the personal truename of
magic missile, you would need to succeed on one DC 23 check,
while you would need to succeed on nine DC 47 checks to
research the personal truename of wish.
44
SEIZE ITEM
Level: 2
Target: One object weighing no more than 50 lbs.
Duration: Instantaneous
This utterance brings an object within range to your hand. If the
object is unattended, it simply darts to your hand. If attended,
such as a wielded weapon, you must make a disarm attempt. You
use your truenamer level as your base attack bonus and your
Intelligence modifier as your Strength bonus, and a failed attempt
does not allow a reactive attempt by the target to disarm you.
Spell resistance applies normally for an attended object.
If both your hands are full when you speak this utterance, the
item lands in your square at your feet.
Personal Truename: If you use the object's personal truename
to speak this utterance, you receive a +5 bonus on the disarm
attempt and can affect items of up to 100 lbs.
SPELL REBIRTH
Level: 3
Target: One spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability.
Duration: Instantaneous
You restore a spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability that
has just been dispelled or dismissed within the last round.
Provided that it had duration remaining, it resumes immediately
with all former attributes. The caster level of a supernatural ability
is equal to the CR of the caster if not otherwise specified.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, you restore the targeted spell, spell-like ability, or
supernatural ability to its full duration, as though it had just been
cast. You can target any such effect, not just those that ended in
the past round.
Each kind of spell has a personal truename that applies to every
casting of that spell. The Knowledge (arcana) check needed to
research this personal truename has a DC of 20 + (3 x the spell's
level) and requires a number of successful checks equal to the
spell's level. For example, to research the personal truename of
magic missile, you would need to succeed on one DC 23 check,
while you would need to succeed on nine DC 47 checks to
research the personal truename of wish.
SUPPRESS ITEM
Level: 3
Target: One magic item
Duration: 1 round, or concentration, up to 5 rounds
By speaking this utterance and focusing, you prevent any magical
properties of the item from functioning as long as you concentrate
and remain in range. If the item moves out of range, the
utterance's effect ends 1 round later. This effect otherwise
functions as a dispel magic spell that targets a magic item.
Personal Truename: If you use the object's personal truename
to speak this utterance, you do not need to concentrate to sustain
the utterance. Its duration becomes 5 rounds.
SUPPRESS WEAPON
Level: 2
Target: One weapon with an energy special ability
Duration: 5 rounds
When you speak this utterance, you can prevent a weapon's
energy-based special ability (or abilities) from functioning. Such
abilities include flaming and frost, among others. If you
successfully speak this utterance on a weapon that does not have
such a property, it has no effect on the weapon, but you are still
considered to have spoken the utterance for the purpose of the
Law of Resistance.
You can suppress an energy burst ability by voluntarily
increasing the DC of your Truespeak check by 5. If you use this
utterance on an energy burst weapon at the regular DC, it has no
effect.
Suppress weapon counters and dispels weapon of energy.
Personal Truename: If you use the object's personal truename
to speak this utterance, the utterance also suppresses the holy,
unholy, anarchic, and axiomatic weapon abilities.
TERMINATE SPELL
Level: 2
Target: One spell or supernatural ability.
Duration: Instantaneous
The targeted spell or supernatural ability is immediately dispelled.
The caster level of a supernatural ability is equal to the CR of the
caster if not otherwise specified. If the supernatural ability is
continuously on, such as a medusa's petrifying gaze, the ability is
suppressed for 5 rounds.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the target of the affected spell, spell-like ability, or
supernatural ability has all other spells affecting it with a lower
caster level immediately dispelled.
Each kind of spell has a personal truename that applies to every
casting of that spell. The Knowledge (arcana) check needed to
research this personal truename has a DC of 20 + (3 x the spell's
level) and requires a number of successful checks equal to the
spell's level. For example, to research the personal truename of
magic missile, you would need to succeed on one DC 23 check,
while you would need to succeed on nine DC 47 checks to
research the personal truename of wish.
TRANSMUTE WEAPON
Level: 3
Target: One weapon
Duration: 5 rounds
A weapon targeted by this utterance can be changed into any
special material of your choice from which it could normally be
made. You can make a weapon cold iron, adamantine, alchemical
silver, or whatever other special material you wish, so long as the
weapon could normally be made from it. For example, you could
transmute a sword to be made of adamantine, but not a bow.
Likewise, you could not transmute a sword to darkwood or to
ordinary paper.
The weapon is treated as if made of that substance, and its
hardness, hit points, and the damage it deals might be affected
depending on your choice.
Personal Truename: If you use the object's personal truename
45
to speak this utterance, ??
TWIST SPELL
Level: 2
Descriptors: Acid, Cold, Fire, or Electricity; see text
Target: One spell
Duration: Instantaneous
Your words unravel the spell and spin it into something new.
To use this utterance, you must ready an action, similar to
readying an action to counterspell or counterspeak. If you
successfully speak this utterance, the targeted spell changes the
type of damage it deals to one type of energy damage, either
acid, cold, fire, or electricity damage, as chosen by you. For
example, you could use twist spell to change the force damage of
a magic missile into acid damage or turn the fire damage of a
fireball into cold damage.
This utterance has no effect on spells that do not deal hit point
damage. Spells that deal ability damage or drain are unaffected.
The DC of a Truespeak to speak the truename of a spell is 15 +
twice the utterance's level + the spell's caster level. If you have
not successfully identified the spell being cast (through a
successful Spellcraft check or some other ability), the Truespeak
DC of this utterance increases by 5.
Personal Truename: If you use the spell's personal truename to
speak this utterance, you can transform the spell's damage into
pure cosmic energy, causing it to bypass all forms of energy
resistance and energy immunity.
Each kind of spell has a personal truename that applies to every
casting of that spell. The Knowledge (arcana) check needed to
research this personal truename has a DC of 20 + (3 x the spell's
level) and requires a number of successful checks equal to the
spell's level. For example, to research the personal truename of
magic missile, you would need to succeed on one DC 23 check,
while you would need to succeed on nine DC 47 checks to
research the personal truename of wish.
UNMAKE
Level: 5
Target: One object
Duration: Instantaneous
Your words tear apart an object, reducing it to its component
parts.
The object you target is instantly unmade, crumbling into its
component parts. Gems fall from settings, swords break into
chunks of steel, and ink drips from scrolls. This effectively
destroys the item, but leaves behind mundane component
materials worth one third the items cost (for mundane objects) or
one half the items cost (for magical objects). Any experience
points paid in the creation of a magic item are simply lost.
Unmake has no effect on artifacts. Any attempt to use this
utterance on an artifact automatically fails.
Personal Truename: If you use the object's personal truename
to speak this utterance, ??
WEAPON OF ENERGY
Level: 2
Descriptors: Acid, Cold, Electricity, or Fire; see text.
Target: One weapon
Duration: 1 minute
The targeted weapon becomes engulfed in some form of energy:
acid, cold, electricity, or fire. This energy does not harm the
wielder, but attacks made with the weapon deal an additional 2d6
points of energy damage.
This utterance's descriptor is the same as the type of energy
chosen.
Weapon of energy counters and dispels suppress weapon.
Personal Truename: If you use the object's personal truename
to speak this utterance, the affected weapon deals an additional
4d6 points of energy damage on a successful critical hit.

WORD OF OPENING
Level: 1
Target: One door, box, or chest
Duration: Instantaneous

You inform the universe that the door is supposed to be open and
the universe rushes to fix the discrepancy.
The targeted door, box, or chest springs open immediately. Any
and all mundane circumstances that would prevent it from
opening, such as locks, bars, or simply being stuck, are instantly
removed. Locks unlock, latches lift, gates raise themselves, etc.
Only those things that hold the portal closed are removed,
however, so this utterance will not clear a doorway buried
beneath rubble. Size has no bearing on which portals can be
opened by this utterance. This has no effect on magical means of
holding the door closed. This utterance has no effect on artifacts.
Personal Truename: If you use the object's personal truename
to speak this utterance, all magical or supernatural effects holding
the door closed are also dispelled. Even an arcane lock spell is
permanently removed by this utterance. The utterance still cannot
open any door that either is an artifact or is held shut by an
artifact.

46
THE LEXICON OF THE PERFECTED MAP
As with utterances from the Lexicon of the
Crafted Tool, these utterances have no
meaning or power when reversed. They all
target nearby areas, allowing you to reshape
the landscape that surrounds you.

ANGER THE SLEEPING EARTH
Level: 3
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: Reflex half; see text of earthquake
By speaking this utterance, you cause the earth to tremble and
quake violently. This utterance functions as an earthquake spell.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, the area of the spell becomes a 40-ft-radius spread
and the save DCs for all of the Earthquake’s effects is increased
by 5.
47
CALL THE FALLEN STARS
Level: 4
Descriptors: Fire
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 rounds
Area: 10-ft-radius spread
Saving Throw: Reflex half
Your words pull the stars from the sky, causing them to plummet
to earth as burning meteors.
This utterance summons blazing meteors from the sky, which
crash into the ground and explode. Each round you concentrate
on this utterance, a meteor lands where you wish at any point
within 60 ft and explodes, dealing 8d6 points of damage to each
creature within 10 feet. Creatures caught in the blast can attempt
a Reflex save for half damage. This damage is half fire damage
and half bludgeoning damage.
This utterance only functions in outdoor areas. It has no effect if
spoken inside a building or while underground.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, its area increases to a 20-foot-radius spread.
CONJUNCTIVE GATE
Level: 4
Descriptors: See text of the gate spell
Duration: 1 minute
Effect: One planar gateway or one called creature.
This utterance functions as a gate spell with a caster level equal to
(your ranks in Truespeak - 3), except as noted.
Personal Truename: If a personal truename is used to speak
this utterance, ??
DENY PASSAGE
Level: 3
Duration: 1 minute
Area: 20 ft. cube
If your Truespeak check is successful you can forbid creatures
from entering the area of the utterance. Unless you allow a
creature inside (an immediate action on your part), it is held at
bay just outside the place as if affected by a protection from evil
spell (although for this utterance the alignment of the creature
doesn't matter).
You likewise prevent creatures from leaving the truenamed
place. Unless you allow a creature to leave (as an immediate
action), it is held at bay at the boundary of the area.
Personal Truename: If you speak a creature's personal
truename as part of this utterance, that creature is exempt from
the effects of this utterance. Every personal truename included
this way raises the Truespeak DC of this utterance by 2.
If you instead speak the personal truename of the location, all
creatures that you do not want inside the area are forced out
violently. They are hurled prone into whichever open square
outside the area of effect is nearest to their position.
ENERGY VORTEX
Level: 2
Descriptors: Acid, Cold, Electricity or Fire (depending on energy
chosen)
Duration: 1 minute
You fill the air around your foes with energy, dealing damage. You
choose the type of damage to deal when you speak this
utterance: acid, cold, electricity, or fire. Creatures in the affected
area take 2d6 points of damage and an additional 2d6 points of
damage at the beginning of each of their turns while they remain
in the area.
Personal Truename: If you speak a creature's personal
truename as part of this utterance, that creature takes no damage
from this utterance. Every personal truename included this way
raises the Truespeak DC of this utterance by 2. If you instead
speak the personal truename of the location, only those you deem
enemies take damage from this utterance.
FOG FROM THE VOID
Level: 1
Duration: 1 minute
This utterance functions as a solid fog spell, except as noted.
Personal Truename: If you speak a creature's personal
truename as part of this utterance, that creature is not slowed
down by the fog, nor does it suffer a penalty on attack and
damage rolls from the fog. It is, however, no more able to see
through the fog than normal. Every personal truename included
this way raises the Truespeak DC of this utterance by 2.
If you instead speak the personal truename of the location, only
those you deem enemies are slowed and penalized by the fog.
LORE OF THE WORLD
Level: 2
Duration: 1 minute
Area: 20-ft.-radius spread centered on you
This utterance allows you to speak with objects in the area as
though you were under the effects of a stone tell spell, except you
can speak with any object in the area, not just stones. In addition
to the information provided by that spell, you can tap into the
knowledge of the land directly, providing you with the exact
distance and direction to a location you seek within one mile. You
must know the name of the place you are trying to locate to use
this aspect of the utterance. If multiple locations exist within the
area that match the name you of the place you seek, the spell
gives you the direction and distance to the closest one.
Personal Truename: If you speak the personal truename of a
place as part of this utterance, the utterance gives you directions
to that location as the find the path spell. This aspect of the
utterance works regardless of how far away the truenamed
location is from your current location.
MASTER OF THE FOUR WINDS
Level: 1
Duration: 1 minute
Area: 100 ft. radius cylinder 40 ft. high
Range: 200 ft.
This utterance functions as a control winds spell, except as noted.
48
Personal Truename: If you speak the personal truename of a
place as part of this utterance, the area of the utterance expands
to fill the whole of the named region. For example, if you used the
personal truename of the town of Mayfair as part of this
utterance, the area of the utterance would include everything
within the town limits of Mayfair.
SHIELD OF THE LANDSCAPE
Level: 1
Duration: 1 minute
You can temporarily create or remove natural obstacles that
provide cover. Any natural object in the area that you designate
withers and shrinks. Objects that provided total cover now
provides only cover, and any object that provided cover no longer
does so.
Further, you can create small outcroppings of cover behind
which you and your allies can hide. You can cause any square of
natural terrain in the area, such as earth or unworked stone, to
sprout stalactites, large rocks, small trees, or other obstacles that
provide cover to anyone standing in that square but do not hinder
movement through those squares.
After this utterance's duration expires, the affected natural
obstacles resume their normal shape and position.
Personal Truename: If you speak a creature's personal
truename as part of this utterance, the effects of this utterance
"follow" the creature around while it remains in the affected area.
If the creature is an enemy, he finds any natural cover he
attempts to use reduced, but only so long as he is using it as
cover. If the creature is an ally, cover sprouts in any natural
square that creature occupies or passes through, disappearing
once he leaves the square. Every personal truename included this
way raises the Truespeak DC of this utterance by 2. If you instead
speak the personal truename of the location, you can change
which squares are reduced and which squares are sprouting cover
as an immediate action.
SHOCKWAVE
Level: 1
Duration: Instantaneous
This utterance causes a violent shockwave of energy to ripple
through the affected area. Creatures in the area take 5d6 points
of nonlethal damage and are knocked prone.
Personal Truename: If you speak the personal truename of the
targeted area as part of this utterance, this utterance deals 10d6
points of nonlethal damage instead of 5d6.
SKYWARD EYE
Level: 1
Range: See text
Duration: 1 minute
Area: 20-ft.-radius emanation
You describe a place in the language of the universe and suddenly
a vision of that location is revealed to you.
This utterance allows you to both see and hear everything
within the affected area for the duration, although you cannot see
beyond that area. You can target any place you know the location
of, regardless of distance or line of effect.
Personal Truename: If you speak a creature's personal
truename as part of this utterance, this utterance's area is
automatically centered on that creature's current location. The
area does not move with the subject, however.
If you instead speak the personal truename of a place, you can
see and hear everywhere within that location, all at once. The
magic of this utterance allows you to comprehend all of this
information at the same time. This replaces the utterance's
normal area.
SPEAK ROCK TO MUD
Level: 1
Duration: 1 minute
This utterance functions as a transmute rock to mud spell, except
as noted here.
Personal Truename: If you speak the personal truename of the
targeted area as part of this utterance, the duration of this
utterance becomes instantaneous, causing the produced mud to
never reverts back to stone.
THWART THE TRAVELER
Level: 3
Duration: 1 minute
This utterance functions as a dimensional lock spell, except as
noted here.
Personal Truename: If you speak a creature's personal
truename as part of this utterance, the creature is exempt from
the utterance's effect. Every personal truename included this way
raises the Truespeak DC of this utterance by 2.
If you speak the personal truename of the location and expend
4000 XP, the duration of this utterance becomes permanent.
TRANSFORM THE LANDSCAPE
Level: 2
Duration: 1 minute
You can cause natural terrain in the area, such as earth or
unworked stone, to buckle and crack, making it more difficult to
pass through. Any such square in the area that you designate
becomes difficult terrain. This difficult terrain does not obscure
line of sight or provide cover.
Further, you can smooth an area of natural difficult terrain,
eliminating penalties to movement or skill checks the terrain
would normal impose. Eliminating difficult terrain does not
eliminate terrain features that provide cover.
For the purposes of smoothing difficult terrain, light rubble,
dense rubble, and undergrowth all count as difficult terrain when
using this utterance.
After the utterance's duration expires, the affected terrain
returns to its normal shape and position.
Personal Truename: If you speak a creature's personal
truename as part of this utterance, the effects of this utterance
"follow" the creature around as long as it remains in the affected
area. If the creature is an enemy, he finds any square of natural
terrain that he passes through to be difficult terrain, as the
ground cracks and breaks just as he steps onto into it and then
smoothes out as soon as he leaves. If the creature is an ally,
natural difficult terrain smoothes as he moves through it and
returns to normal as he leaves. Every personal truename included
this way raises the Truespeak DC of this utterance by 2.
If you instead speak the personal truename of the location, you
can change which squares are being made difficult terrain and
49
which squares are being smoothed as a free action for the
duration of the utterance.
TRANSPOSITION OF LOCATION
Level: 2
Range: 60 ft; see text
Duration: 1 minute
Area: One 20 ft. cube
The area you target with this utterance trades places with an
equivalently shaped area at the location you name. Any creatures
caught or objects completely contained within either of the two
areas travel with their respective area to the new location
instantly. The maximum distance the two areas can be exchanged
over is up to 100 miles per rank of Truespeak you possess.
At the end of the duration, the two areas return to their natural
locations, again taking any creatures or objects completely
contained within either area with them. Creatures and objects that
have been brought in to either area are transported, but not
creatures or objects that have been removed from either location.
However, due to the exacting detail with which you must
describe the two locations to be exchanged, this utterance is not
always accurate. There is a base chance of 30% that the
utterance will instead swap with a location similar to the one you
had intended. This chance decreases by 5% for every 2 points by
which you exceed the base Truespeak DC needed to speak this
utterance.
If this utterance does target a similar area, the area that is
actually exchanged will be visually or thematically similar to the
location you were attempting to swap with, such as arriving in an
alchemist's lab or a library when attempting to swap with a room
from a wizard's tower. This alternate location will usually be about
(1d10 x 1d10% of the total distance you had originally wished to
cover) off course from your intended destination, but can be
greater if no similar location is that near. For example, if you had
intended to translocate your location with one 2000 miles away
and rolled a 1 and 2 on the d10s, you would find yourself roughly
40 miles off target, provided a similar location can be found that
near.
The sudden removal or interposition of a location's features
magically applies no effect to surrounding areas. For example,
transposing the wall out of a building does not damage the
structure in any way, leaving no mark or seam once the utterance
ends, transposing a section of ocean into a lake of lava will not
cause the water to boil nor the lava to solidify, and transposing a
section of ground with a section of sky will result in a section of
ground hovering mysteriously in midair.
Objects and creatures not fully contained within either area are
not transported. If they could not coexist with the newly
transposed location, for example a ship with a section of water
beneath it suddenly transposed with solid rock, the creature or
object is shunted to the nearest open location without harm.
This utterance can only transpose locations on the same plane
of existence; it cannot work between planes.
Personal Truename: If you speak the personal truename of a
place as part of this utterance, the location you target is
transposed with the named place with no chance of inaccuracy
and across any distance. This still does not allow the utterance to
work across planes of existence.
WORDS OF CREATION by 10, and otherwise functions as normal (although knowing the
demiplane's truename can be used to enhance any other
Level: 4
utterances you know from the Lexicon of the Perfected Map used
Duration: Instantaneous
inside).
Area: Up to four 5-ft cubes.

Your words cause an entire new plane of existence to spring into

being, to be shaped as you will.
This utterance can only be used on the Astral Plane or inside of
a demiplane.
When spoken on the Astral Plane, you cause a new demiplane
to come into being, with a permanent two-way gateway
connecting to it opening at your current location. The demiplane is
a functionally infinite, lightless, gravityless expanse initially empty
of anything except breathable air, but it does possess whatever
elemental, energy, or alignment traits you wish. The demiplane
always has the normal time trait, meaning that time passes in the
demiplane at the same rate as time passes on the Material Plane.
The demiplane is always alterably morphic and has the normal
magic trait.
When used inside a demiplane you own, it instead creates,
destroys, or alters some aspect of your demiplane. A demiplane's
owner is the one who created it in most cases. This utterance can
do one of the following each time it is spoken:

• Create or destroy earth, stone, or water in its area. This

cannot create valuable or rare materials, such as gold,
rubies, uranium, holy water, or adamantine, although you
could add those yourself later.
• Set the direction and strength of gravity in its area. The
gravity can be no gravity, light gravity, normal gravity, or
heavy gravity. You choose which direction is considered
"down" in any particular square.
• Set the level of light in its area. This can be bright
illumination, shadowy illumination, or darkness. Areas of
bright illumination shed shadowy illumination into adjacent
squares.
• Suppress or reinstate a planar trait in its area. For example,
if you created a demiplane that was fire dominant and
strongly good-aligned, you could suppress the fire dominant
trait in a particular place, preventing creatures there from
taking fire damage, or you could suppress the strongly good-
aligned trait, preventing evil and neutral creatures from
taking Charisma penalties while in that part of the plane.
This is only an "on" or "off" decision. You cannot instate a
new planar trait, nor can you merely lessen a planar trait
(such as majorly positive dominant to only minorly positive
dominant).
• Create vegetation in its area. This can be any sort of tree,
shrub, flower, or other plants you may wish. You cannot
create rare or valuable varieties of vegetation with this, such
as darkwood or black lotuses.
Personal Truename: If you speak the personal truename of a
demiplane when you use this utterance, you can take ownership
of the demiplane from its current owner. If the previous owner is
deceased, gaining ownership is automatic, otherwise you and the
current owner make opposed character level checks. Whoever
wins becomes the owner of the demiplane. The loser cannot
attempt to retake control of the demiplane for 24 hours.
If you are speaking this utterance on the Astral Plane, you can
give the newborn demiplane a personal truename of your
choosing. Doing so increases the Truespeak DC of this utterance

50

TRUENAME MAGIC ITEMS
Truenamers are not known for their skill with
artifice and cannot make any of the more standard
magic items, such as potions, wands and scrolls, so
truename magic items tend to be fairly rare when
compared to the magic items created by wizards,
sorcerers, and artificers. Still, some magic items
created through truename magic achieve effects
that are outside the capabilities of ordinary magic
items.
Truename magic items always carry an aura of
universal magic. Truename magic items do not
have a minimum caster level. Instead, they have a
minimum number of ranks in Truespeak
(abbreviated TR) required to create them, which
serves as their caster level for any purpose requir-
ing such.
BOTTLED ECHOES
A bottled echo is a glass bottle containing the
echoing words of an utterance. The sounds of the
utterance echoing can be faintly heard through the
glass if one presses his ear to the bottle.
Bottled echoes are like utterances targeting
whomever is nearest when the bottle is opened.
The character affected by the bottled echo doesn't
get to make any decisions about the effect - the
truenamer who bottled the utterance has already
done so. For example, a bottled echo of reversed
energy negation is always designed to deal one
type of energy damage chosen by the creator.
Whoever is affected by the bottle echo is both the
effective caster and the effective target, so some
utterances have strange effects when made into a
bottled echo, such as the singular mind utterance.
Bottled echoes have two restrictions as to who they
can effect. First, each bottled echo is designed to
affect only a particular creature type, such as
humanoid or outsider. Anyone that does not have
that creature type cannot be affected by that
particular bottled echo. Second, a bottled echo has
a maximum CR that it can affect. Anyone with a
greater CR cannot be affected by that utterance.
Physical Description: A typical bottled echo is a
spherical glass container fitted with a tight stopper.
The container vibrates slightly from the words
51
echoing within it. The container has AC 13, 1 hit
point, hardness 1, and a break DC of 12.
Activation: Unstopping or throwing a bottled echo
requires no special skill. Using a bottled echo is a
standard action. Affecting yourself if automatic, but
affecting another creature requires a successful
ranged touch attack to throw the bottled echo. A
bottled echo has a range increment of 10ft. If the
touch attack fails, use the "Missing with a Thrown
Weapon" table to determine where the bottled echo
lands. A qualified creature within 5 feet of where
the bottled utterance is affected (if more than one
qualified creature is within 5 feet, choose random-
ly). Otherwise, the bottled echo is wasted. Using a
bottled echo provokes attacks of opportunity. A
bottled echo can be used only once.
Saving throws against a bottled echo are made at
a DC of 10 + 1/2 the number of hit dice the bottled
echo could affect + the utterance's level.
Aura/Truespeak Ranks: Weak to strong univer-
sal. TR varies.
Market Price: 25 gp x the maximum CR the
bottled echo can affect x the level of the stored
utterance
Creating a Bottled Echo: The creator of a bottled
echo needs a quiet place to work (to reduce possi-
ble contamination of the sound), a container to hold
the utterance, and special salves and oils to treat
the container with to ensure the proper preserva-
tion of the utterance. The costs for these materials
are subsumed in the cost for creating the bottled
echo - 12.5 gp x the maximum CR the bottled echo
can affect x the level of the bottled utterance. All
ingredients used to create the bottled echo must be
fresh and unused. The character must pay the full
cost for creating each bottled echo.
Only utterances from the Lexicon of the Evolving
Mind can be made into bottled echoes. The creator
must know the utterance to be stored in the bottled
echo. If the utterance carries an XP cost, he must
pay that XP cost. The creator chooses which crea-
ture type the bottle echo will affect when he creates
the bottled echo. The maximum CR that the bottled
Echo can affect can be up to the creator's number
of ranks in Truespeak.
You can create a bottle echo incorporating a per-
sonal truename, but the bottled echo becomes
useless against anyone but the named creature. It
still can only affect the named creature if the
creature's CR is less than the CR limit on the
bottled utterance. Using a personal truename does
not affect the cost of a bottled echo.
INSCRIPTIONS
Inscriptions are a broad class of Truename magic
items, functionally similar to wondrous items in
most cases. Most inscriptions are a set of runic
characters engraved upon some other object,
although some are completely separate items
themselves. Because of the exacting nature of
Truespeak, much of the cost of creating an inscrip-
tion is actually practice materials or waste caused
by tiny flaws in execution.
All inscriptions share one particular requirement.
You must know the personal truename of whatever
it is you are putting the inscription on, be it a
sword, a parchment, or your ally.
If an inscription acts as a weapon or armor
special ability, it can be placed on any item of at
least masterwork quality; the weapon or armor
does not need to be at least +1 already.
Amulet of the Silver Tongue
An amulet of the silver tongue makes its wearer
better able to pronounce words clearly and correct-
ly.
Description: An amulet of the silver tongue is a
small circular amulet, most often made of silver,
depicting a grinning face with an open mouth.
Words of Truespeech relating to competence and
clarity are etched around the edge.
Prerequisite: The amulet functions for any crea-
ture, but only those with the Truespeak skill benefit
from wearing it.
Activation: An amulet of the silver tongue provides
its bonus as long as it is worn.
Effect: The lesser version of the amulet provides a
+5 competence bonus on Truespeak checks. A
greater amulet of the silver tongue grants a +10
competence bonus.

deadly against a single creature.

sharp-edged runes of hatred towards a single
creature.
Prerequisite: An inscription of namebane can be
added to any weapon.

applies against a single creature, chosen at the time
of the weapon's creation. It's ability activates
whenever it is used to attack that creature.
Effect: Against its designated foe, a namebane
weapon's effective enhancement bonus is +2 better
than its normal enhancement bonus (so a master-
work longsword is a +2 longsword against its foe).
It deals an extra 2d6 damage against its foe. Bows,
crossbows, and slings so crafted bestow the name-
bane quality upon their ammunition. Anyone in
possession of a namebane weapon receives a +4
circumstance bonus on Knowledge rolls to research
the personal truename of the weapon's foe.
Aura/Truespeak Ranks: Moderate universal, TR

gemstone engraved with a single creature's person-
al truename. The type of gem used is usually one
with some special association to its associated
creature.
Prerequisite: A namestone works for anyone,
although those who cast spells or speak utterances
derive the most benefit from possessing one. A
namestone's powers all function only in relation to a
single creature, chosen when the namestone is
created.
Activation: Noting a creature's direction using a
namestone is a move action. All other powers are
always active.
Effect: A namestone has several effects. First,
anyone can point unerringly towards the creature
associated with the namestone. This only deter-
mines direction, not distance, but does ensure that
you can always locate that creature, given enough
effort.
Second, any spell or utterance that targets one or
more creatures can be cast on the namestone and
affect the associated creature, so long as the
associated creature is within 60 feet of the name-
stone. Spells requiring a touch attack or ranged
touch attack automatically succeed in hitting the
associated creature so long as the caster holds the
namestone.
Lastly, the namestone is inscribed with the
associated creature's personal truename. Not only
does this reveal the truename to anyone who
examines the namestone, but anyone holding the
namestone receives a magical +4 circumstance
bonus on all attempts to speak that personal
truename.
Aura/Truespeak Ranks: Strong universal, TR 20.

of truespeak characters tattooed across much of a
creature's upper torso, spelling out sutras of fore-
sight and safety.

creature they were created for. Further, once a
creature receives the tattoos, they cannot be

the tattoos destroys them.

rectangular silver plate on a thin chain. The plate is
inscribed with a unique personal truename, as well
as other truenames that define it to be the wearer's
own.

worn by any living creature that possesses a
personal truename.
Body Slot: Neck
Activation: An amulet of another name is active as
long as it is worn.
Effect: While a creature wears an amulet of anoth-
er name, it has a different personal truename than
normal. Its original personal truename still exists,
but attempts to use it to affect the creature wearing
the amulet fail. The creature's original personal
truename returns if the amulet is removed for any
reason.
Anyone speaking the personal truename inscribed
on the amulet affects the creature wearing it as
though he had just spoken that creature's personal
truename. The DC to research the personal true-
name on the amulet is the same as to research the
amulet's personal truename (although the two
personal truenames are completely separate;
researching one does not reveal the other).

4,000 XP, 100 days.
Price: 100,000 gp
ARTIFACTS
Connected as it is to the fundamental nature of the
universe, it is no surprise that some of the most
powerful artifacts in existence are tied to the power
of Truenaming.
In addition to the Book of True Binds and the Tome
of Truenaming, the following are artifacts associat-
ed with Truespeech:
utterance for as long as the book remains in their
possession, regardless of their level or ranks in
Truespeak. Further, he can reshape the Material
Plane as though it was his own demiplane. As a
final benefit, anyone in possession of the Book of
Genesis gains a +10 circumstance bonus on
Knowledge checks to research personal truenames
and no-one is considered obscure to the possessor
for the purpose of researching their personal
truename.
The Book of Genesis is inextricably linked to the
Material Plane. All attempts to remove the book
from the Material Plane, including attempts to store
the book in an extradimensional space, fail auto-
matically. Scholars of Truespeak theorize that
destroying the Book of Genesis or otherwise remov-
ing it from the Material Plane would have disastrous
consequences.
Aura/Truespeak Ranks: Major universal, TR 23.

The Book of Genesis

The Book of Genesis is thought to be the origin
point for the whole of the Material Plane.
Description: The Book of Genesis, as its name
would suggest, is a book, about a foot long and
about eight inches in width but over a foot thick.
The book is bound in age-darkened leather and its
pages are covered in writing using the language of
Truespeak. The pages towards the front of the tome
are yellowed and crumbling with age, while those
towards the back are new, the ink almost still wet
on the page. The Book of Genesis has so far proved
impervious to all attempts to destroy it or its pages.
Only age can destroy any page from the book, but
as soon as one page crumbles to dust, a new page
appears at the back of the book, already covered
with writing.
Prerequisite: Only those that can speak at least
one utterance can read the Book of Genesis.
Activation: Using the words of creation ability of
the Book of Genesis is a standard action. All other
effects of the book are continuous.
Effect: Before anyone can tap into the power of the
Book of Genesis, they must first spend a week
studying its pages. Once that week is complete,
they gain the ability to use the words of creation
