Info: The Haruspex is a a divination specialist spell caster. Even wizards who specialize in the school of divination pale in comparison to Haruspex's mastery over the school of divination. This is supposed to be a tier 3 specialist caster similar to dread necromancer and beguiler. Also this is my first non necromancy based class! I am finally branching out

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Haruspex.
Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: Haruspexes are proficient with all simple weapons and no armor
Spellcasting: A Harupsex casts arcane spells which are drawn from the Haruspex's spell list (See Below). Like a sorcerer he can cast any spell he knows without having to prepare it ahead of time. When a Haruspex gains access to a new level of spells she automatically knows all the spells of that level. To cast a spell a Haruspex must have an Intelligence score of 10+the spell level. The difficulty class is 10+spell level+ the Haruspex's intelligence score. Like other spellcasters a Haruspex can only cast a limited amount of spells per day. His daily allotment is on the table above. In addition the Haruspex gains bonus spells for having a high intelligence score (See table 1-1 on page 8 of the player's handbook).
Empowered Divinations (Ex): The Haruspex's divination spells gain a bonus to their caster level and dc's equal to the Haruspex's wisdom modifier.
Share Divination (Su): The Haruspex can begin to share his visions of the future with allies. Starting at second level he can share the benifits of a single personal range divination spell with an ally within 30 feet.
At 10th level the Haruspex can share it with one target/intelligence modifier within 60ft.Also the Haruspex can share the benefits of divination spells that only effect him, such as the Assay Spell Resistance spell.
14th Level the Haruspex can share it with any allied creature within line of effect and line of sight.
Brief Glimpse (Sp): As a reactive non action the Haruspex can see briefly into the future. The Haruspex can determine the outcome of a spell or attack before the target casts it or initiate's it. The Haruspex is aware of the spell failing, being resisted, the target making his saving throw, or any immediate actions the target takes to resist/block the spell or attack.
Insightful Reflexes (Ex): The Haruspex can see the way the opponent moves and can dodge accordingly. The Haruspex gains an insight bonus to ac equal to his wisdom modifier.
Rapid Diviner (Ex): The Haruspex can cast divinations much faster than the average caster. The Haruspex can cast all divinations as if they were affected by the rapid spell metamagic without an increase in casting time or spell level. This stacks with the metamagic feat.
I knew you were about to do that (Ex): Due to naturally predicting opponents movements the Haruspex can ready an action against an opponent without specifying what he is reading against and what action he will preform against it.
You knew he was about to do that (Su): The Haruspex visions even help his allies. All allies within 20 feet of the Haruspex are treated as if having the ability "I knew you were about to do that". The ally can use "I knew you were about to do that" once per encounter.
Bypass Wards (Ex): The Haruspex is adept at getting around protection against divination. He ignores any spell that blocks divination effects unless the caster is 5 caster levels higher than his caster level. In which case the target gets a will saving throw to resist the spell. If the spell allows a saving throw already he must fail two.
Major Glimpse (Sp): Once per day when using his Brief Glimpse ability on a spell the Haruspex casts he can see how the target fails to defend himself. The dc for the spell the Haruspex used Brief Glimpse for increases by his wisdom modifier. This ability can be used after the Haruspex determines if the target succeeded or failed his saving throw
Just a Dream (Ex): Sometimes the Haruspex has a very very vivid nightmare where the party dies horribly in a total party kill... Thankfully it was just a dream right? The Haruspex can see into the future unconsciously at 15th level. Once a week the current day can be determined to be "just a dream" the Haruspex wakes up at the beginning of the day with perfect knowledge of what he just experienced in the dream.
DM Note: If the Haruspex wishes you should allow him to precede exactly the same up to a certain point in the day if he wishes to skip parts of the day. He is just doing the same thing, it should have the same reaction. Once he begins to act differently than the dream though the entire rest of the day becomes different.
Marked (Sp): At 16th level once a day a target within line of sight and effect can become "marked". Marking a target takes a full round action that has verbal components and provokes attacks of opportunity. There is no saving throw against this ability If the target is successfully marked than he takes double the penalties described in the Scry spell. For example if the Haruspex had the target's hair he would take a -20 instead of - 10 on the will save to resist the scry. As well the Haruspex always knows what direction and how far away the marked subject is from the Haruspex. Their can only be one marked target at a time. The mark lasts indefinitely but can be removed with a disjunction, miracle or wish.
Perfect Divinations (Sp): The Haruspex is now a master and weaving divinations, all of his divination spells take only a standard action to cast and no longer take any xp or material components.
Hypercognition (Sp): Once per day per intelligence modifier at 19th level the Haruspex can cast a spell like ability that mimics the abilities of the power Hypercognition.
Well of Knowledge (Sp): The Haruspex can know learn almost anything and find answers to almost any question. Once per week the Haruspex can learn everything a target within line of sight and effect knows. There is no saving throw to resist this effect, it is affected by spell resistance however. This does not allow the Haruspex to manifest powers the target might know or duplicate any other class or racial features.
