Con Artist

Puller of heartstrings and pursestrings

For every noble and wealthy musician who grace the courts and villas of Arda, there is another far poorer but no less talented in the bardic arts. While most are still skilled musicians, many more have learned to play a far more delicate instrument - people's hearts and minds, which they leverage for money and influence. These often dastardly bards are known as con artists. Known for their elaborate acts and ploys, they can pressure and guilt the guileless to their wishes.

Con Artist's Rackets


A con artist usually has a few favorite and well-practiced personas for their acts. The con artist adds half his class level (minimum 1) to Bluff, Diplomacy, Disguise, and up to three Knowledge skills of their choice and may make all Knowledge skill checks untrained.

This ability alters bardic knowledge.  

Con Artist Talents


From their years spent on the streets, the con artist has learned a number of rogue talents that help shore up their racket. At 4th level and every four levels after, the con artist may select a rogue talent they qualify for from the following list:
  • Charmer
  • Coax Information
  • False Friend
  • Hard to Fool
  • Obfuscate Story
  • Steal the Story
This ability replaces well-versed and loremaster.
