| LocalizedName: "Truenamer" | |
| LocalizedDescription: | |
| "A truenamer's source of power is his encyclopedic knowledge of the First Language also known as Truespeech." | |
| "Containing all things and concepts that have and will ever be," | |
| "perfect knowledge of Truespeech would effectively mean perfect control over the universe itself." | |
| "Though it is quite impossible for the limited mind of a mortal humanoid to fathom the entirety of the First Language," | |
| "there are those who devote their lives to learning even the tiniest fragment of what it has to offer and are capable" | |
| "of shifting the universe by reciting dozens of words and phrases on a daily basis." | |
| "A truenamer exercises his power over Truespeech through the use of recitations." | |
| "Recitations resemble spells and represent knowledge of hundreds of variations of a core concept within" | |
| "the Language.\n\n" | |
| "Through precise knowledge of his surroundings and the vocabulary used to describe the" | |
| "current state of the local area, a truenamer knows how to recite the precise grammatical variant required to" | |
| "elicit an effect in a particular situation. It is this, the fact that the recitations for orc, charging orc," | |
| "and charging orc with a mohawk are all totally different series of syllables, that makes learning even a tiny" | |
| "fraction of the First Language a lifelong pursuit for even the most dedicated of scholars.\n\n" | |
| "Recitations are broken up into four codices based on the nature of the subject of the recitation." | |
| "For example, one codex is all about “things”, while another is about “ideas”. Codices are effectively" | |
| "repositories of nouns being modifie by static verbs." | |

| "over, it tends to get a bit fed up with him. Each time the truenamer" | |
| "successfully recites a recitation, the truenaming DC of that recitation" | |
| "increases by +2. The truenamer may spend an hour apologizing to the universe" | |
