'''Archaeologist's Insight {{Ex}}:''' After years of tomb-delving and work on the field, the Archaeologist is capable to call upon an almost supernatural insight to survive. As a swift action she may focus on her experience, granting her a +1 insight bonus on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls. She can use this ability for a number of rounds per day as if it was her Virtuous Performance. Maintaining this ability is a free action, but it ends immediately if the archaeologist is killed, paralyzed, stunned, knocked unconscious, or otherwise prevented from taking a free action to maintain it each round. Archaeologist’s Insight is treated as virtuous performance for the purposes of feats, abilities, effects, and the like that affect bardic performance. The bonus granted by Archaeologist's Insight increases to +2 at 5th level, +3 at 11th level, and +4 at 17th level.
