Obsessive Researcher
An academic fixated on one obscure subject can't be talked, charmed, or diverted from it — their singular expertise anchors their will.
Academia rewards specialization, and so the universities and athenaeums of the Inner Sea are full to the brim of sunlight-deprived scholars who are the world experts in such obscure topics such as the migratory habits of bogwids or the folklore of pre-Choral Brevoy.
In play
Idée Fixe: Nothing gets between the obsessive researcher and their subject. If the obsessive researcher is targeted by a spell or ability with a Will save that would prompt them to give up, ignore, or divert course from the subject of their Narrow Lore (for example, using a suggestion to get a specialist in Jistkan artificing to give up a construct part), then the obsessive researcher can use their Narrow Lore skill in place of their Will save.
