A Book of Words Beneath the sounds of everyday life, unheard even in the stillness of the deepest caverns, is an endless litany of words spoken by a hundred thousand voices. The endless chant of unheard words are the driving force of existence, speaking what was, what is now, and what will come in an endless roll. The words they speak are not from any mortal tongue, but a language of infinite complexity older than the stars and the sands of the sea. This language is the language of Truespeak. The words of Truespeak hold great power over the nature of reality. reality. With a few words of Truespeak, one can cause the earth to quake and the dead to rise. ven the most rudimentary student of Truespeak can call fire from thin air and levitate small ob!ects. Those who wield the power of truenames tap a power that rests between the arcane and the divine, the unbridled force of the cosmos itself. "owever, the power of Truespeak is not without its drawbacks. #ts words were never made to be spoken by the mortal tongue. They are incredibly long, full of strange intonations, odd inflections, and requiring exacting cadence to be intelligible. Written Written collections of truenames devote pages to explaining the pronunciation of a single word and most beginning students require weeks of study and practice before they can reliably pronounce the most common of truenames. ven masters of Truespeak find it difficult to construct more than rudimentary sentences in the language, for it is exactingly specific in its meaning and unambiguous in its syntax. The language of Truespeak consists of countless words, each with a unique meaning. ven the most general purpose truenames translates to things such as $the orc charging towards me$ or $the sword carried by my friend$. %sing the wrong wording when trying to invoke truename magic results in sentences of unintelligible gibberish or meaningless strings of words instead of the desired effect and with the
plethora of near&homophones within the language using the wrong wording is a common occurrence. 'ccasional accidents have occurred in the speaking of truenames, where a slip of the tongue created a meaningful sentence of undesired effect, but thankfully such events are rare. Beyond the more general purpose truenames are the equivalent of proper nouns in Truespeak. (alled personal truenames, these words have only a single meaning, naming a single creature, place, or ob!ect. "arder to speak than an a n )ordinary) truename, a personal truename also has more power over its sub!ect than any other word. *erhaps the most fearsome event possible is to hear that an enemy knows your personal truename. 'ther disciplines have tapped into some of the power of truenames, devising spells such as the power word line line or the command spell spell that take a few of the more easily spoken truenames and enhance their potency with another mystical force, but most such is mere dabbling. To To truly use the power of truenames, one must spend a lifetime studying its possibilities and grammar. grammar.

%tterances An utterance is a combination of words in Truespeech that describe a creature, place, or ob!ect to be affected and the desired effect 4such as $control speed$ or $wreathe in fire$5. By putting these truenames together in exacting fashion, you create a rudimentary sentence in the language of the universe & an utterance. As a truenamer, you don)t know the truename for every creature and ob!ect in the world, but you can describe them in the language of Truespeech. To do so is to speak an utterance. When you speak an utterance properly, reality reshapes itself to conform to the power of your words. 8ou learn utterances as you progress in level, starting with the simplest creature&oriented utterances and progressing to more powerful and more diverse utterances. %tterances are divided into three lexicons, or groups of related words. As a truenamer, you learn many words in Truespeech, but only a few practiced phrases that you can turn into true utterances that carry the full power of Truespeech & and that power can change reality itself. %tterances can be described as follows.
S!eaking an &tterance To speak an utterance, you need only speak in a clear voice as loud as a spellcaster. "owever, because the language of truenames requires such precision of pronunciation and timing, an utterance takes a standard action to perform and provokes attacks of opportunity from threatening enemies. An utterances is a spell&like ability with a verbal component 4unlike other spell&like abilities, which have no components5 that requires a successful Truespeak check to complete. 8our effective caster level for your utterances is your ranks in Truespeak & <.

1pell Eesistance
Truename Eesistance 1ome creatures are surprisingly difficult to describe using truespeak, more so than similar creatures. These creatures are said to have truename resistance. When attempting to speak the truename of a creature with truename resistance, add the value of the creature)s truename resistance to the final Truespeak 2( before determining if the creature)s truename was spoken correctly.
School All utterances, when viewed with detect magic or other such effects, detect as being from the universal school of magic.
Target With the exceptions of utterances from the +exicon of the *erfected 6ap and utterances affected by the class ability 1peak %nto the 6asses, all utterances affect only a single creature or ob!ect. Because the language of truenames is both exacting and specific, the same truename does not necessarily apply to all four orcs charging you. #f you cannot see your target 4or at least perceive it in some other way that gets you as much information as sight5 you take a &/ penalty on your Truespeak check unless you are using a personal truename 4in which case only the normal difficulty increase for speaking a personal truename applies5. 8our target does not need to be able to hear the truename. 8ou arenDt speaking to the target, after all9 8ou)re using truenames to speak to the cosmos about the target. %nless otherwise noted, a truenamer still needs line of effect to his target in order to affect it with his utterances. =or utterances from the +exicon of the *erfected 6ap, this means you must be able to see the center of the area you)re truenaming. 8ou can)t truename a dungeon chamber that)s on the other side of a closed door, but you can truename the room once you open the door, even if you can)t see the entire room from the outside.
The %niverse "ears Must =ine Because no creature needs to hear you speak a truename, a silence spell won)t automatically stop your utterances. #t is more difficult to speak a truename properly when you don)t have the feedback of hearing your own voice. 8ou have a :/K chance of a given utterance failing when you deliver it from within the area of a silence spell, no matter how high your Truespeak check result.
1pell resistance applies to your utterances, so you must succeed on a caster level check to overcome the spell resistance of creatures you speak utterances on. Because your utterances are spell&like abilities, the 1pell *enetration and Freater 1pell *enetration feats make those caster level checks easier, !ust as they do for spellcasters. #f you wish to dispense with spell resistance entirely when speaking an utterance, you can voluntarily increase the *ange 2( of a Truespeak check by > to automatically overcome a %nless otherwise specified, utterances work at a range target)s spell resistance. of 0/ feet.
Duration
Counters!eaking and Dis!elling
%tterances have short durations, usually a minute or less. 8our use of truenames reorders the universe as you direct, to be sure, but the universe soon reestablishes some semblance of the status quo. When you deliver an utterance, you are remaking reality itself. Whether the $default reality$ returns quickly or slowly, it does so at its own pace. 'nce you)ve delivered an utterance, it will run its full course9 %tterances arenDt dismissible.
%tterances with ongoing durations can be dispelled normally using dispel magic. They can also be countered by couterspeaking, which works similarly to countering a spell.

(ounterspeaking To counterspeak an utterance, you must select an opponent as the target of the counterspeaking and ready an action to counterspeak. When your opponent begins to speak an utterance, you must first successfully identify the utterance 4a Truespeak check that does not take an action5. #f you also know that utterance, you can attempt a second Truespeak check in an effort to counter the utterance. #f your check result is higher than your opponent)s, you negate the utterance entirely with no other results.
2ispelling
E""ective S!ell Level The effective spell level of an utterance from the +exicon of the volving 6ind and the +exicon of the (rafted Tool is equal to its utterance level for the purpose of (oncentration checks as well as for interactions with other spells and abilities, such as globe of in&ulnerabilit'. %tterances from the +exicon of the *erfected 6ap have an effective spell level four higher than their actual level.
The La%s
To dispel an ongoing utterance, you must know that utterance and successfully speak it on the same target as the original utterance. #f your Truespeak check is higher than the original truenamer)s check result, the utterance is dispelled as if its duration had expired. #n cases where the Truespeak check is unknown, assume that it)s 7 the truenamer)s Truespeak bonus.

6agic #tems Truenamers are not known for their skill with artifice and cannot make any of the more standard magic items, such as potions, wands and scrolls, so truename magic items tend to be fairly rare when compared to the magic items created by wiards, sorcerers, and artificers. 1till, some magic items created through truename magic achieve effects that are outside the capabilities of ordinary magic items. Truename magic items always carry an aura of universal magic. Truename magic items do not have a minimum caster level. #nstead, they have a minimum number of ranks in Truespeak 4abbreviated TE5 required to create them, which serves as their caster level for any purpose requiring such.
)ottled Echos A bottled echo is a glass bottle containing the echoing words of an utterance. The sounds of the utterance echoing can be faintly heard through the glass if one presses his ear to the bottle. Bottled echos are like utterances targeting whomever is nearest when the bottle is opened. The character affected by the bottled echo doesn)t get to make any decisions about the effect & the truenamer who bottled the utterance has already done so. =or example, a bottled echo of reversed energy negation is always designed to deal one type of energy damage chosen by the creator. Whoever is affected by the bottle echo is both the effective caster and the effective target, so some utterances have strange effects when made into a bottled echo, such as the singular mind utterance. Bottled echos have two restrictions as to who they can effect. =irst, each bottled echo is designed to affect only a particular creature type, such as humanoid or outsider. Anyone that does not have that creature type cannot be affected by that particular bottled echo. 1econd, a bottled echo has a maximum (E that it can affect. Anyone with a greater (E cannot be affected by that utterance. Ph#sical Descri!tion: A typical bottled echo is a spherical glass container fitted with a tight stopper. The container vibrates slightly from the words echoing within it. The container has A( <, hit point, hardness , and a break 2( of :. Activation: %nstoppering or throwing a bottled echo requires no special skill. %sing a bottled echo is a standard action. Affecting yourself is automatic, but affecting another creature requires a successful ranged touch attack to throw the bottled echo. A bottled echo has a range increment of /ft. #f the touch attack fails, use the $6issing with a Thrown Weapon$ table to determine where the bottled echo lands. A qualified creature within > feet of where the bottled utterance lands is affected 4if more than one qualified creature is within > feet, choose randomly5. 'therwise, the bottled echo is wasted. %sing a bottled echo provokes attacks of opportunity. A bottled echo can be used only once.

The costs for these materials are subsumed in the cost for creating the bottled echo & :.> gp x the maximum (E the bottled echo can affect x the level of the bottled utterance. All ingredients used to create the bottled echo must be fresh and unused. The character must pay the full cost for creating each bottled echo. 'nly utterances from the +exicon of the volving 6ind can be made into bottled echos. The creator must know the utterance to be stored in the bottled echo. #f the utterance carries an J* cost, he must pay that J* cost. The creator chooses which creature type the bottle echo will affect when he creates the bottled echo. The maximum (E that the bottled cho can affect can be up to the creator)s number of ranks in Truespeak. 8ou can create a bottle echo incorporating a personal truename, but the bottled echo becomes useless against anyone but the named creature. #t still can only affect the named creature if the creature)s (E is less than the (E limit on the bottled utterance. %sing a personal truename does not affect the cost of a bottled echo.

Because of the exacting nature of Truespeak, much of the cost of creating an inscription is actually practice materials or waste caused by tiny flaws in execution. All inscriptions share one particular requirement. 8ou must know the personal truename of whatever it is you are putting the inscription on, be it a sword, a parchment, or your ally. #f an inscription acts as a weapon or armor special ability, it can be placed on any item of at least masterwork quality9 the weapon or armor does not need to be at least 7 already.

Arti"acts (onnected as it is to the fundamental nature of the universe, it is no surprise that some of the most powerful artifacts in existence are tied to the power of Truenaming. #n addition to the Book of True Binds and the Tome of Truenaming, the following are artifacts associated with Truespeech.
The Book of Fenesis The oo! of 1enesis is thought to be the origin point for the whole of the 6aterial *lane. Descri!tion: The oo! of 1enesis, as its name would suggest, is a book, about two feet long, about a foot and a half in width, and over a foot thick. The book is bound in age&darkened leather and its pages are covered in writing using the language of Truespeak. The pages towards the back of the tome are yellowed and crumbling with age, while those towards the front are new, the ink almost wet on the page. The oo! of 1enesis has so far proved impervious to all attempts to destroy it or its pages.

As a final benefit, anyone in possession of the Book of Fenesis gains a 7/ circumstance bonus on 3nowledge checks to research personal truenames and no one is considered obscure to the possessor for the purpose of researching their personal truename. The oo! of 1enesis is inextricably linked to the 6aterial *lane. All attempts to remove the book from the 6aterial *lane, including attempts to store the book in an extra&dimensional space, fail automatically. 1cholars of Truespeak theorie that destroying the oo! of 1enesis or otherwise removing it from the 6aterial *lane would have disastrous consequences.

The Book of =ate The oo! of #ate is similar to the oo! of 1enesis, except that where the oo! of 1enesis is concerned with what was and what is, the oo! of #ate is concerned with what might be. The book itself is eight inches wide, a foot long, two inches thick, and bound in midnight blue leather. The parchment pages are filled with words of truespeak, written in a small, even hand. The writing on the first pages seems much older than that on the last pages, !ust starting to fade at the front and with ink still fresh on the last pages. A few blank pages exist at the very end of the book. #f watched, one can observe words being written into the book by an invisible hand, filling page after page but never filling all of the blank pages. *ages at the front of the book disappear from time to time if not actively watched. =or those that can make sense of Truespeak, the pages of
the book speak of events to happen in the future, both ma!or and minor. "owever, the words shift and change as they are read, altering and even contradicting chains of events it has previously described. 2espite this, events generally happen as the oo! of #ate describes them to have happened, with such regularity that those who have studied the book believe that variations are due to the actions of those who have gained knowledge of the future. All attempts to harm the oo! of #ate have failed, not because of some demonstrable imperishability on the part of the oo! , but because all attempts have been thwarted by increasingly improbable coincidences. Attempts to set a burning tindertwig to the pages have been stopped numerous times by sudden gusts of wind, the onset of a rainstorm, or simple failure of the tindertwig to properly light. 1everal times, the book has been stolen the night before some destructive test would be attempted, and more spontaneous acts of destruction have been stopped by sudden heart attacks, lightning from a clear sky, earthquakes, and other dramatic events. *erhaps no future exists where the oo! can be harmed. *erhaps the oo! manipulates the future to protect itself. *erhaps the moment of the oo! )s destruction has not yet come. Prere3uisite: 'nly those who have at least one rank in the Truespeak skill can attempt to read the oo! of #ate. Activation: Eeading from the oo! of #ate requires at least ten minutes of study per attempt. E""ect: Anyone who reads from the oo! of #ate can attempt a Truespeak check 42( :>5 to glean some idea of what events are to come. #f the roll succeeds, the character can either get the answer to one question about the future or one $floating$ reroll. #f the character chooses an answer, the character)s player may ask one yes&or&no question to the 26 about something that might happen and the 26 must answer as honestly as he can, based on how events would likely have played out had the character not consulted the oo! . #f the character chooses a reroll, it can be used to reroll any d:/ roll made in the next week. The decision to use the reroll must be made after the original roll is made but before the 26 declares the result of the roll. =or every > points by which the character beats the minimum 2( on the Truespeak roll, the character receives either one additional answer or one additional reroll.

Class Features As a fiendbinder, your exhaustive studies have finally rewarded you with a mastery over the residents of the lower planes. As your class level increases, you can bind more powerful fiends and command them with greater ease. ventually, you can tap into the powers of the great lords of the lower planes. Hit Dice: d0 &tterancesS!ellcasting: At each level except st and th level, you either gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level 4and spells known, if applicable5 as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before becoming a fiendbinder or you gain new utterances known as though you gained a level in an utterance&using class you belonged to before you became a fiendbinder. 8ou do not, however, gain any other benefits a character of either of these classes would have gained. #f you had more than one utterance&using or spellcasting class before becoming a fiendbinder, you must choose to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, spells known, and utterances known. )ind Fiend 'Su(: At st level, you master the complex rituals needed to call forth and bind a fiend whose personal truename you know. 8ou can summon any outsider with the evil subtype, referred to here as a fiend, whose (E is no greater than 4> 7 your fiendbinder level5. The ritual consumes materials costing 4fiend)s (E squared x // gp5 and takes @ uninterrupted hours to perform. Additionally, you must succeed in a Truespeak check 42( :> 7 the fiend)s (E5 to successfully speak the fiend)s personal truename 4the 7: difficulty for speaking a personal truename is already included in the 2(5.

no action 4other than speaking or following you as you move5 that you do not explicitly command 4see below5. #f a bound fiend ever moves more than mile from you, it receives an immediate Will save 42( / 7 your fiendbinder level 7 your (harisma modifier5 to break the bond, but only one Will save per instance of moving beyond this one mile mark. A bound fiend can usually only attain this distance from its master due to a careless command. 6ost fiends, once freed in this fashion, return to their home plane, but particularly vindictive fiends or those fiends that have been enslaved particularly often or for long periods of time may choose to seek revenge. 8ou can free a bound fiend and banish it back to its home plane as a standard action b y speaking its personal truename 4Truespeak 2( :> 7 the fiend)s (E5, if you wish. 8ou can bind multiple fiends if you have the gold and time to do so. A bound fiend cannot use its summoning ability. 1ince this is a calling effect, bound fiends are truly dead when slain. #f you are killed, any fiend that was bound to you prior to your death stays with your remains for :- hours. #t does not guard your body9 it merely remains nearby, tracking the passage of time intently to determine if it will be set free. #f you are returned to life during that period, the fiend remains bound to your service at no additional cost to you. "owever, if :- hours pass and you remain dead, the fiend is released and sent back to the place whence it came, dragging your soul behind it. At that point, only a true resurrection spell or a reversed unname utterance spoken with your personal truename can return you to life, but if you are brought back, your fiend comes back with you, still bound to your service and with no additional cost to you. Command Fiend 'Su(: 2ue to the capricious and violent tendencies of many fiends, it has always proven far safer to bind fiends to take no action unless you command it to do so, but because a fiend is always an unwilling slave, you must compel it to action with the power of its personal truename or it will not act on your behalf. 2oing so is a standard action and requires you to succeed on a Truespeak check 42( :/ 7 the fiend)s (E5. This 2( includes the 7: for speaking a personal truename. =ailure on this check means the fiend is not compelled to do anything.
8ou can issue any one of the following commands to a fiend; Possi/le Commands Attack a specific foe 4attacks the foe until it is slain5 2efend me 4attacks the first creature to attack you5 2eliver a message or package and return 1cout and report back 1erve as a steed for one hour 4only for those fiends capable of serving as such5 1tand watch for @ hours and raise alarm if needed %ndertake repetitive labor for one hour %se a skill on your behalf %se a spell&like ability on your behalf
The fiend is compelled to carry out your orders to the best of its abilities, but remember when issuing a command that the fiend does not en!o y its service and actively wishes you harm, so the fiend will take whatever interpretation of your orders will cause you the most harm. =or example, if you instruct a glabreu demon to use its wish spell&like ability to grant you wealth, it will likely do so by creating a large block of gold directly over your head, hoping to crush you beneath it. 8ou can issue a command to only a single fiend in your service at one time 4unless you possess the (ommand the =iendish "orde ability9 see below5 and a fiend will only obe y the latest command you have given it. (ommanding a fiend in this manner is not sub!ect to the +aw of Eesistance. Fiendish Elo3uence 'E+(: 8our extensive dealings with fiends has allowed you to attain a great deal of experience in convincing them to do your bidding. 6any such creatures fear your power over them. 1tarting at th level, you learn the secret of calling one such soul forth and binding its essence within yourself. 8our eyes turn dead black, your complexion pales, and black veins form beneath your skin until the tormented soul is released or destroyed. The tormented soul has no alignment or awareness, per se, and cannot be held at bay using magic circle spells or similar effects. Binding a tormented soul is an immediate action that requires a Truespeak check 42( :/ 7 your character level5. #f you know your personal truename, you can use that as part of this ability. #f the check succeeds, you harness the tormented soul)s suffering and become inured to pain. 8ou can continue to act normally even when disabled 4reduced to / hit points5 or dying 4reduced to & to & hit points5. Additionally, you do not die at &/ hit points or lower. #nstead, while you are in this condition, you can take a single move or standard action each turn 4but not both, nor can you take full&round actions5. Although you can take a move action without further in!uring yourself, performing any standard action 4or any other action the 26 deems as strenuous, including some free actions5 deals point of damage to you after the act is completed.
The binding you can place upon a tormented soul is unstable however, and soon destroyed, releasing the soul back to its prison on the +ower *lanes. 8ou can only bind a tormented soul for a number of rounds equal to : your class level. 'nce the tormented soul is gone, you immediately incur the normal effects for being at / hit points or negative hit points 4if your hit point total when the soul departs is at / or below5. #n addition, assuming you survive the ordeal, you are fatigued for hour 4if you are already fatigued, you are exhausted instead5. 8ou can voluntarily release a bound tormented soul as a free action, but you still endure the effects noted above. This ability is sub!ect to the +aw of Eesistance and the +aw of 1equence. S%i"t Command 'Su(: Through long practice, you master the art of swiftly commanding your fiendish thralls. 1tarting at ?th level, you can use your (ommand =iend ability as a swift action. 8ou can still use (ommand =iend as a standard action if you wish, so you can now issue two commands in a single round, one as a swift action and the other as a standard action, allowing you to more easily direct your slaves. Gi"t o" the Arch"iend 'Su(: Through your studies of the truenames of fiends, you have uncovered the secret of investing yourself with a fragment of might taken from a powerful archfiend, one of the 2emon *rinces of the Abyss or one of the infernal Archdukes of the Cine "ells. By uttering the personal truename of one such being, you force the entity to grant you power.
