===Making a Truenamer===
A truenamer is a powerful spellcaster that draws directly from her spell list when casting. While her spell list is varied, it tends to lack some of the harder hitting spells of the sorcerer/wizard, the great utility of the cleric and the shapechanging shape changing ability of the druid. A truenamer is able to expand her lexicon of spells, drawing from other spell lists to bolster her own. Their spells usually focus on shaping the world around them, powerful sonic attacks and the power words spells. Like all casters, truenamers tend to be more vulnerable in direct combat.
'''Abilities:''' A truenamer's [[Intelligence]] is her prime ability score, handling both truespeak and her spellcasting. She could use a high [[Dexterity]] for her AC, initiative and reflex save, and high [[Constitution]] for her hit points and fortitude saves.

'''{{Anchor|Truespeak}} {{Ex}}:''' A truenamer is capable in the art of the eponymous Truespeak. She may roll special Truespeak checks, using her class level + her [[Intelligence]] modifier. Using Truespeak requires a free action unless specified otherwise and requires line of sight with the target creature or effect. If the truenamer fails a Truespeak check she cannot try it again for 24 hours, unless specified otherwise.
''Divine Creature:'' A truenamer can use her truenaming with a DC equal to 10 + the creature's CR. If she succeeds she gain a +10 bonus to identify the creature on her next [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge]] check.
''Divine Effect:'' A truenamer can use her truenaming truespeak instead of [[SRD:Psicraft Skill|Psicraft]], [[SRD:Spellcraft Skill|Spellcraft]], Martial Lore or other skills to identify an ongoing effect.
''Divine Status:'' A truenamer can use her truenaming truespeak with a DC equal to 10 + the creature's CR. If she succeeds she knows any condition afflicting the creature as well as it's its current hit points.
''Learn Truename:'' A truly difficult task, the truenamer attempts to divine the creature's truename as a full-round action. The DC is equal to 20 + the creature's CR, if successful the truenamer has forever a +2 bonus on DCs when she casts a truenamer spell against the target. If she fails she cannot attempt to learn the target's true name for a year and day. A truenamer can only know a number of truename equal to her [[Intelligence]] modifier, although she may overwrite previously known truenames with new ones. Additionally, knowing a creature's true name this way has all the normal benefits of doing so, such as when summoning and binding outsiders.
'''{{Anchor|Utterance}} {{Su}}:''' A truenamer is able to splice her spells with fragments of powerful utterance, which modify and improve it. An utterance is used as a swift action and imbues the next spell the truenamer cast. If a truenamer does not start casting until the end of a turn when she pronounces an utterance, it is wasted. It is impossible to use two utterances on the same spell, using multiple utterance utterances simply overwriting the previous one. At 1st level a truenamer knows a single utterance, learning a new utterance at 3rd level and each odd level thereafter. A truename truenamer can use her utterance class feature a number of times per day equal to 3 1 + half her class level + her [[IIntelligenceIntelligence]] modifier.
A truenamer chooses her utterance from the following list:
''{{Anchor|Destructive Word}}:'' This utterance increases the damage of the imbued spell by +1 per damage dice. It has no effect on spells that do no damage.
''{{Anchor|Disruptive Word}}:'' After casting a spell imbued with this utterance, the truenamer makes a truespeak check. This effect is as the [[SRD:Bard|Bard]]'s countersong ability, using the truespeak check as the perform check. This effect last lasts for 1 round.
''{{Anchor|Dreaming Word}}:'' This utterance increases the imbued spell DC by 2 against targets which are [[SRD:Exhausted|Exhausted]], [[SRD:Fatigued|Fatigued]] or Asleep.
'''{{Anchor|Knowledge Focus}} {{Ex}}:''' At 2nd level, a truenamer gains half her level as a bonus on all [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge]] checks and may use them untrained.
'''{{Anchor|Expanded Lexicon}}:''' At 4th level and each even level thereafter, a truenamer expands her spell list. She adds a single one spell of the highest level she can cast from the cleric, druid or sorcerer/wizard spell list. The spell must be Alternatively she can add two spells of at most one any level lower than below the highest spell level she can could cast and must not already be on her listfrom these lists. She may cast the chosen spells as if they were on the truenamer spell list.
'''{{Anchor|Bonus Feat}}:''' At 5th, 10th and 15th level, a truenamer gains a single [Item Creation] or [Metamagic] feat as a bonus feat. She must meet the prerequisites of that bonus feat.
'''{{Anchor|Cosmic Power}} {{Su}}''': A 20th level truenamer has unlocked incredible powers beyond reckoning. She is constantly under the effect of the [[SRD:Fly (Spell)|''fly'']], [[SRD:Shield|''shield'']] and [[SRD:Spell Turning|''spell turning'']]spells.
