Mad Scientist [Archetype] Prerequisites: Knowledge (any) 4 ranks.Benefit: See below Special: If you ever stop qualifying for this feat, you can trade it for another archetype feat you meet the prerequisites.

Archetype Feat Bonus are based on HD.

• 1 HD: You may use all Craft and Knowledge skills untrained, and you may have your ranks in Craft or Knowledge apply to three such crafts or knowledges of your choice.
• 3 HD: You gain a bonus item creation feat you qualify for. When you make an item (either through mundane Craft skills or item creation feats) with limited uses, you can choose to make it an Experimental item. The effectiveness of the item is either +50% stronger or +50% duration (so an experimental Wand of Fireball deals 150% damage, and an experimental sunrod burns for 9 hours). However, each time the item is used there is a 5% chance it will simply explode, dealing 1d8 points of damage per caster level (minimum 1, even if it doesn't have a caster level) in a 5 ft radius burst. There is a DC 15 Reflex save (or the saving throw of the item, if greater) for half damage.
• 8 HD: You gain a construct companion. You gain the services of any construct with a CR equal to your CR -4 or less. If destroyed, you can restore it over the course of 24 hours and 100g per HD it possesses. You may repair your construct as if you possessed the Craft Construct feat. If you already possess the feat, you heal twice as much damage as normal.
• 15 HD: You gain a bonus item creation feat you qualify for. One per day as part of the action of drawing an item you can make a Craft check or use an Item Creation feat to produce the item you need on the spot, provided you have enough gp in material and scraps to pay for it. Thanks to your mad science, it turns out this ball of junk was secretly a +4 vorpal sword all along! Limited use items produced this way are always Experimental.
