SAGE
Sages are the wise-men of the world.  These men specialize in reading large
volumes of information and committing that information to memory.  
Unfortunately their memory is not always perfect.
Sages can recognize an
item or thing at 5 X PC + 5% per rank.  
 Sages can recall information
about the thing at 2 X WP +7% per rank.
The GM rolls to determine what
the sage remembers.   Sages can do research for particular information at PC
X RANK if he/she has access to a library.   A Sage may specialize in one area
per rank among the following areas and choose an additional area with each
rank:

Monsters
Magical Weapons & Armor
Magical Items
Histories & Legends
Culture & Laws
Geography
Demonology
Theology
Planar Beings other than Deities or Demons
Heraldry and Persona of Present Countries
Cryptology
Planar Travel and other Dimensions

Sages must spend 1000 + (200 X RANK) to buy books and pay fees at
libraries. Sages must be able to read & write in two languages at rank 6
before they can advance beyond rank 2.  Sages also require twice the time to
learn their skill.
