-One of their save bonus.
-One of their ability scores.
-Their bonus on two skills of your choice.
-How many spells/powers they have on them at the moment.

Initiation Action: Immediate action
Range: 15 feet per IL
Target:one creature.
Duration: 1 round.
Save: 12+Intelligence modifier

You may initiate this counter at any time. The target either counts as carrying an heavy load or carrying a light load (your choice) regardless of how much they're actualy carrying. A sucesful Will save negates this counter altough allies can choose to fail the save if it would be convenient for them.

Level: Scholar 2
Initiation Action: Swift action
Range: .
Target: You
Duration: until the end of your turn.

Initiation Action:Standard action
Range: -
Target: you.
Duration: stance
Save: none
Just like individuals, weapons wich performed great deeds are also enshrined by history. Altough it's up to discussion if those weapons performed great deeds for being powerful or became powerful for performing great deeds, a scholar can project them trough the mists of time in times of need.
When you enter this stance, you summon an heavily decorated masterwork weapon of your choice and with an enachment bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to 1/4 the ranks you have in knowledge(nobility and royalty). For every +1 to attack and damage rolls this weapon has, you gain another point of enanchment bonus that you can spend it on special abilities like Holy and Keen (except any abilities that have limited uses per day, use the following
table for reference). You may also trade one of those extra enanchment bonus to make the weapon of a special material of your choice like silver or adamantine. You are automatically proficient with this weapon, and it instantly vanishes if it leaves your hands, ending this stance. The chosen base weapon (whitout counting masterwork, enachments and special materials) cannot be worth more than 100 GP / 4 IL (you may include special craft options whitin this budget). If the weapon needs ammo, you also conjure 50 mundane ammo of the apropriate type. You may make some or all of that ammo of special materials/craft as long as the total price of the base weapon and special ammo doesn't exceed the GP limit of this stance.
Remember that holding a weapon locks you from using Plain History maneuvers. Double weapons receive the enanchment bonus to attack and damage to both ends, but any special abilities must be divided between both ends (so for example if you have 8 ranks, you can either put keen in both ends, or holy in a single end).

Altough they prefer to solve problems with their minds, many scholars admit some physical punishment can go a long way to make sure a lesson is well learned. Or at least silecing an idiot for some time.
You perform a normal melee attack with your head, which counts as magic, adamantine and your own alignment due to your extensive mental work. If you hit you deal 1d6 damage per rank you have in Knowledge(nobility and royalty) plus 1,5 Str modifier and the target must suceed on a Will save or be stunned for 1 round (dazed if they're immune to stun).

Level: Scholar 4
Initiation Action: Fullround Action
Range: 20 feet per IL
Target: one creature
Duration: see text
Save: 14+Intelligence Modifier
Power, gold, shiny things, everybody has their price. It is thus of the biggest ironies of history that many great leaders end up backstabed by their own subordinates.
When you initiate this maneuver choose an oponent whitin sight, to which you either promise great rewards or instill great doubt against one of its allies. If the target fails a Will save, then it gains a fullround action that must be spent attacking another enemy of your choice whitin view to the best of its ability, but whitout spending any exp or using any single-use items (like scrolls) worth more than 5% its total wealth.
A scholar always knows what people want.

Save: 14+Intelligence Modifier or none (see text)
History is filled with symbols of prestige designed by civilizations to represent their glories and achievments. Orbs, crowns, badges, talismans and many others were used as symbols of authority. A skilled scholar can project them to gain some of their power.
When you initiate this maneuver you conjure a small shiny item wich doesn't take any equipment slot but must be worn on a visible part of the body (floating around you is also possible). It duplicates the effect of any wizard/cleric spell with a range of personal of lv 2 or lower with CL equal to the ranks you have in knowledge(nobility and royalty). This includes the duration of the effect. If it demanded any expensive material component or exp cost, you must supply it as well.
If the spell in question demands an expensive component or exp cost you must supply it. If you try to summon a new Sacred Treasure Orb while another one is active the previous one automatically ends. If the object is removed from your person the effect ends as well. If it demanded a save, use the save DC of this maneuver instead.
If you un-prepare this maneuver, then the effect ends as well.

Initiation Action: see text
Range: 20 feet per IL.
Target: see text
Duration: instantaneous
Save: 14+Intelligence Modifier
Sometimes story isn't just concealed, it must be erased. Good scholars try to lock forbiden knowledge and evil scholars will censor acts of benevolence. Altough others would disaprove of such abuse of power, all evidence mysteriously vanishes, as if the act indeed had never hapened.
Choose an action that you witnessed whitin the range of this maneuver on the last round. The iniation action of Erase History is one step lower than the action you wish to nullify (free action/attack of oportunity->swift action-> move action-> standard action-> fullround action). This maneuver never takes less than a free action to initiate.
If the target fails a Reflex save, the effects of the chosen action are reversed. Damage inflicted is healed, status effects are removed, creatures return to their previous positions. You cannot Erase History an action that took more than a fullround action to acomplish.
In alternative, you may duplicate a Dispel Magic effect as a fullround action with CL equal to the number of ranks you have in knowledge(nobility and royalty), and no CL cap.

Target: one creature
Duration: see text

Another usual patterns observed in history is that of conquest, tribes and cities and kingdoms and countries and even continents taking over each other in a pure and neverending lust for power. And many times such conquests are achieved not with weapons but the right words.
The target of this maneuver must suceed on a Will save or fall under your control as a Dominate Monster effect for 1 rounds for every 4 ranks you have in Knowledge(nobility and royalty). This is a mind-affecting effect.

In alternative, you may conceal up to 5 cubic feet of inanimate matter per rank you have in knowledge(nobility and royalty), making them disapear from reality for 1 round, as long as none of that inanimate matter is whitin 5 feet of a sentient creature other than yourself.

Initiation Action: move action

Target:-
Duration: instantaneous
Save:-
Things don't become history merely by happening, they must be made history. A scholar can thus make up the "truth" as she pleases if nobody has direct proof to contradict her.
When you initiate this maneuver you can retroactively take an action anytime in the past up to 1 hour for every rank you have in Knowledge(nobility and royalty), as long as that action doesn't contradict any present knowledge of the creatures observing the scholar. If the action demanded a 1d20 or percentile roll, you must make it again and acept the result even if you end up worst. You cannot re-roll more than one 1d20 or percentile roll per use of this maneuver.
So for example if you had been in a town and taken some time for yourself, you may use this maneuver to retroactively buy a specific item now needed. Or you may have taken a potion just before the batle had started, or if your whereabouts were unknown you may declare you come up around a corner next to the party.
If you try to use this maneuver more than once per day, there's a 5% chance that you mess up something pretty badly in History every time you use it, in which case a monster of your CR appears (DMs choice) and gets an instant suprise round against you and your allies and attacks until either of you is destroyed, babling inchoerently about a terrible alternate reality that demands your death to be prevented. This monster grants no exp, treasure or reward of any kind, including disapearing instantly if anyone manages to enslave/dominate them or give its dead body to a necromancer. If you run away from it, it will literally pursue you to the end of times trough any means at its disposal. Any other monsters summoned this way will team up uncoditionally against you.

When one looks at the bigger picture, history is not about individuals or trinkets but about the land itself which houses them all. Many times it protects them as well, keeping their oponents at bay trough natural and mystic defenses.
When you enter this stance, the land itself inside the effect radius changes its aspect to your liking, altough this provides no mechanic benefit. At the end of each of your turns any creatures you deem an enemy inside it are pushed to the nearest border unless they suceed on a Reflex save whitout provoking attacks of oportunity. Enemies wishing to enter the area or attack anyone inside it from outside must also suceed on a reflex save or be unable to do so.
