Editing Investigator (section)

===Second Edition===
Like the Alchemist, the Investigator underwent a serious rework to divorce it from being just "Alchemist with some skill monkey" when it appeared in the ''Advanced Player's Guide''. In fact, this new investigator probably leans even further to the skill monkey side than before as they gain about as many skill feats as a Rogue but more of them are using skills that rely on mental stats. By default, all investigators have a special action that lets them investigate leads on a chosen "case". When in combat, they gain another special action that allows them to pre-roll a d20 and later use that roll as an attack - it can even use Intelligence rather than Strength or Dexterity if you use certain weapons.

The investigator's subclasses are called "Methodologies". The following are available:
*''Alchemical Studies'': Harkens back to when investigators were like alchemists. They're not quite as good though, as they lack any of the specializations a normal alchemist has.
*''Empiricism'': Incredibly fast at investigating. In particular, they can notice glaring details and pick up particular knowledge before anyone else.
*''Forensic Medicine'': CSI. The investigator becomes a medic who can also determine details by investigating the crime scene and possibly even use this medical knowledge in combat.
*''Interrogator'':  Become a social detective. In particular, this subclass allows investigators to understand people merely through conversation to the point where they can figure out how to milk out the truth.
