Knowledge Correlation (Ex): For every 6 ranks the scholar possesses in Knowledge skills, they gain a +1 Synergy Bonus to all Knowledge checks and may use all Knowledge skills as if they had a number of skill ranks equal to the Synergy Bonus. These virtual ranks do not count towards increasing the synergy bonus.

Sage Lore (Ex): At each class level, the scholar gains 6 additional skill points that can only be spent on Knowledge skills.

Scholastic Study (Ex): By spending fifteen minutes studying or otherwise gathering information, a Scholar of at least 2nd level may gain a bonus as if he had rolled a 10 on the appropriate Knowledge check against that specific creature for the next hour. This may be extended to the next 8 hours if the scholar takes an hour to perform the research instead.

Additionally, the scholar may impart some of his knowledge to his allies. The scholar may spend a move action to grant all allies within 30ft the same insight bonus the scholar gained from a single use of knowledge devotion for two rounds.

Scholastic Advantage (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, the scholar applies the bonus from Knowledge Devotion to Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks made against the target creature and doubles the bonus to damage from Knowledge Devotion.

Additionally, if the scholar used Scholastic Study on a creature and later used Knowledge Devotion in combat against the creature, the insight bonus granted stacks.
