You rapidly change topics and employ confusing rhetoric to distract people from your true intent.
Prerequisites
Charisma 13,
Persuasive.
Benefit
When using the
Diplomacy skill to make a request or change a creature's attitude, you can use verbal misdirection. To do so, make a
Bluff check against that creature. If you succeed, you gain a +4 bonus on your next
Diplomacy check against that creature if the check is made within the next minute. If you fail by 5 or more, you instead take a -2 penalty on your next
Diplomacy check against that creature. Alternatively, you can use this feat to retry a single failed
Diplomacy check against a creature. You take a -4 penalty on your
Bluff check when using
Rhetorical Flourish in this way. If you succeed, rather than gaining this feat's normal bonus, you can retry your last
Diplomacy check against the creature if that check was made in the past minute.
