Abilities

  • Undermine Argument: If you do damage with a Listen attack, you drop the opponents AC by 4 points for one round.
  • Intimidating Glare: As a standard action, you may make an Intimidate attack. If successful, the next attack you make does +2d6 social damage.
  • Harpell Logic: If you successfully attack an opponent with K(arcana), that opponent is dazed for one round as it tries to sort out what you just said.
  • Graceful Gallop: As an immediate action you may roll a tumble or balance check and use that value as your AC, but on your next turn you must take at least a single move away from that opponent.
  • Broken Glass: If you make a successful Disable Device attack, the opponent is in an awkward position and all threatening allies get an immediate Intimidate attack as they poke fun at the opponent.
  • Regain Composure: If you make a successful Diplomacy or Bluff attack, you also gain 2d6 HP.
  • Gather Information: If you make a successful Gather Info attack, you gain +2 AC for one round.
