Path of the Philosopher

The Path of Corruption followed by the Red Widow Richelle de Mauvais. It is named for the concept of natural philosophy, the precursor to modern science.

* 1: Student of biology: Once a day, by touching a living creature's blood, Richelle can automatically tell whether that creature is afflicted with either disease or poison. A successful Knowledge (nature) check can identify the disease; a successful Craft (alchemy) check can identify the poison. ** Richelle's scent takes on a subtle, but unpleasant alchemical tinge. She can cover this with perfumes so humanoids without the Scent ability can't detect it, but natural animals react to her smell with hostility.
