Applications Whenever you roll a success on a check to Escape or a saving throw against an effect that would impose the grabbed or restrained condition on you, you get a critical success instead. Whenever a creature rolls a failure on a check to Grapple you, they get a critical failure instead.

Dexterity
Acrobatics
- Balance
BalanceSINGLE ACTION
Requirements You are in a square that contains a narrow surface, uneven ground, or another similar feature.Description You move across a narrow surface or uneven ground, attempting an Acrobatics check against its Balance DC. You are flat-footed while on a narrow surface or uneven ground.
Applications- Untrained tangled roots, uneven cobblestones.
- Trained wooden beam.
- Expert deep, loose gravel
- Master tightrope, smooth sheet of ice
- Legendary razor’s edge, chunks of floor falling in midair
- Critical Success You move up to your Speed.
- Success You move up to your Speed, treating it as difficult terrain (every 5 feet costs 10 feet of movement).
- Failure You must remain stationary to keep your balance (wasting the action) or you fall. If you fall, your turn ends.
- Critical Failure You fall and your turn ends.
- Squeeze
SqueezeEXPLORATION ACTION
Description You contort yourself to squeeze through a space so small you can barely fit through.
Applications This action is for exceptionally small spaces; many tight spaces are difficult terrain that you can move through more quickly and without a check.- Trained space barely fitting your shoulders
- Master space barely fitting your head
- Critical Success You squeeze through the tight space in 1 minute per 10 feet of squeezing.
- SuccessYou squeeze through in 1 minute per 5 feet.
- Critical Failure You become stuck in the tight space. While you’re stuck, you can spend 1 minute attempting another Acrobatics check at the same DC. Any result on that check other than a critical failure causes you to become unstuck.
Tumble Through
SINGLE ACTION
Requirements
You are in a square that contains a narrow surface, uneven ground, or another similar feature.
Description
You Stride up to your Speed. During this movement, you can try to move through the space of one enemy. Attempt an Acrobatics check against the enemy’s Reflex DC as soon as you try to enter its space.
Applications You can Tumble Through using Climb, Fly, Swim, or another action instead of Stride in the appropriate environment. Degrees of Performance
Applications You can Tumble Through using Climb, Fly, Swim, or another action instead of Stride in the appropriate environment. Degrees of Performance
- Success You move through the enemy’s space, treating the squares in its space as difficult terrain (every 5 feet costs 10 feet of movement). If you don’t have enough Speed to move all the way through its space, you get the same effect as a failure.
- Failure Your movement ends, and you trigger reactions as if you had moved out of the square you started in.
Stealth
- Conceal an Object
Conceal an ObjectSINGLE ACTION
Description You hide a small object on your person (such as a weapon of light Bulk).
Applications When you try to sneak a concealed object past someone who might notice it, the GM rolls your Stealth check and compares it to this passive observer’s Perception DC. Once the GM rolls your check for a concealed object, that same result is used no matter how many passive observers you try to sneak it past. If a creature is specifically searching you for an item, it can attempt a Perception check against your Stealth DC (finding the object on success). You can also conceal an object somewhere other than your person, such as among undergrowth or in a secret compartment within a piece of furniture. In this case, characters Seeking in an area compare their Perception check results to your Stealth DC to determine whether they find the object. Degrees of Performance Success The object remains undetected. Failure The searcher finds the object - Hide
- Sneak
SneakSINGLE ACTION
Description You can attempt to move to another place while becoming or staying undetected.
Applications Stride up to half your Speed. (You can use Sneak while Burrowing, Climbing, Flying, or Swimming instead of Striding if you have the corresponding movement type; you must move at half that Speed.) If you’re undetected by a creature and it’s impossible for that creature to observe you (for a typical creature, this includes when you’re invisible, the observer is blinded, or you’re in darkness and the creature can’t see in darkness), for any critical failure you roll on a check to Sneak, you get a failure instead. You also continue to be undetected if you lose cover or greater cover against or are no longer concealed from such a creature. At the end of your movement, the GM rolls your Stealth check in secret and compares the result to the Perception DC of each creature you were hidden from or undetected by at the start of your movement. If you have cover or greater cover from the creature throughout your Stride, you gain the +2 circumstance bonus from cover (or +4 from greater cover) to your Stealth check. Because you’re moving, the bonus increase from Taking Cover doesn’t apply. You don’t get to roll against a creature if, at the end of your movement, you neither are concealed from it nor have cover or greater cover against it. You automatically become observed by such a creature. Degrees of Performance- Success You’re undetected by the creature during your movement and remain undetected by the creature at the end of it. You become observed as soon as you do anything other than Hide, Sneak, or Step. If you attempt to Strike a creature, the creature remains flat-footed against that attack, and you then become observed. If you do anything else, you become observed just before you act unless the GM determines otherwise. The GM might allow you to perform a particularly unobtrusive action without being noticed, possibly requiring another Stealth check. If you speak or make a deliberate loud noise, you become hidden instead of undetected. If a creature uses Seek and you become hidden to it as a result, you must Sneak if you want to become undetected by that creature again.
- Failure A telltale sound or other sign gives your position away, though you still remain unseen. You’re hidden from the creature throughout your movement and remain so.
- Critical Failure You’re spotted! You’re observed by the creature throughout your movement and remain so. If you’re invisible and were hidden from the creature, instead of being observed you’re hidden throughout your movement and remain so.
Thievery
- Disable a Device
Disable a DeviceDOUBLE ACTION
Requirements Some devices require you to use thieves’ tools when disabling them.Description This action allows you to disarm a trap or another complex device.
Applications Often, a device requires numerous successes before becoming disabled, depending on its construction and complexity. Thieves’ tools are helpful and sometimes even required to Disable a Device, as determined by the GM, and sometimes a device requires a higher proficiency rank in Thievery to disable it. Your Thievery check result determines how much progress you make. Degrees of Performance- Critical Success You disable the device, or you achieve two successes toward disabling a complex device. You leave no trace of your tampering, and you can rearm the device later if that type of device can be rearmed.
- Success You disable the device, or you achieve one success toward disabling a complex device.
- Critical Failure You trigger the device.
- Palm an Object
Palm an ObjectSINGLE ACTION
Applications Palming a small, unattended object without being noticed requires you to roll a single Thievery check against the Perception DCs of all creatures who are currently observing you. You take the object whether or not you successfully conceal that you did so. You can typically only Palm Objects of negligible Bulk, though the GM might determine otherwise depending on the situation. Degrees of Performance- Success The creature does not notice you Palming the Object..
- Failure The creature notices you Palming the Object, and the GM determines the creature’s response.
- Pick a Lock
Pick a LockDOUBLE ACTION
Requirements Requirements You have thieves’ tools.Description Opening a lock without a key is very similar to Disabling a Device, but the DC of the check is determined by the complexity and construction of the lock you are attempting to pick.
Applications Locks of higher qualities might require multiple successes to unlock, since otherwise even an unskilled burglar could easily crack the lock by attempting the check until they rolled a natural 20. If you lack the proper tools, the GM might let you used improvised picks, which are treated as shoddy tools, depending 0n the specifics of the lock. Critical Success Success Critical Failure Degrees of Performance- Critical Success You unlock the lock, or you achieve two successes toward opening a complex lock. You leave no trace of your tampering.
- Success You open the lock, or you achieve one success toward opening a complex lock.
- Critical Failure You break your tools. Fixing them requires using Crafting to Repair them or else swapping in replacement picks (costing 3 sp, or 3 gp for infiltrator thieves’ tools).
- Steal
StealSINGLE ACTION
Description You try to take a small object from another creature without being noticed. Typically, you can Steal only an object of negligible Bulk, and you automatically fail if the creature who has the object is in combat or on guard.
Applications Attempt a Thievery check to determine if you successfully Steal the object. The DC to Steal is usually the Perception DC of the creature wearing the object. This assumes the object is worn but not closely guarded (like a loosely carried pouch filled with coins, or an object within such a pouch). If the object is in a pocket or similarly protected, you take a –5 penalty to your Thievery check. The GM might increase the DC of your check if the nature of the object makes it harder to steal (such as a very small item in a large pack, or a sheet of parchment mixed in with other documents). You might also need to compare your Thievery check result against the Perception DCs of observers other than the person wearing the object. The GM may increase the Perception DCs of these observers if they’re distracted. Degrees of Performance- Success You steal the item without the bearer noticing, or an observer doesn’t see you take or attempt to take the item.
- Failure The item’s bearer notices your attempt before you can take the object, or an observer sees you take or attempt to take the item. The GM determines the response of any creature that notices your theft.
Strength
Athletics
- Climb
ClimbSINGLE ACTION
Requirements You have both hands free.Description You move up, down, or across an incline.
Applications Unless it’s particularly easy, you must attempt an Athletics check. The GM determines the DC based on the nature of the incline and environmental circumstances. You’re flat-footed unless you have a climb Speed. Degrees of Performance- Critical Success You move up, across, or safely down the incline for 5 feet plus 5 feet per 20 feet of your land Speed (a total of 10 feet for most PCs).
- Success You move up, across, or safely down the incline for 5 feet per 20 feet of your land Speed (a total of 5 feet for most PCs, minimum 5 feet if your Speed is below 20 feet).
- Critical Failure YYou fall. If you began the climb on stable ground, you fall and land prone.
- Disarm
DisarmSINGLE ACTION
Requirements You have at least one hand free. Your target can’t be more than one size larger than you.Description You try to knock something out of an opponent’s grasp.
Applications Attempt an Athletics check against the opponent’s Reflex DC. Degrees of Performance- Critical Success You knock the item out of the opponent’s grasp. It falls to the ground in the opponent’s space.
- Success You weaken your opponent’s grasp on the item. Until the start of that creature’s turn, attempts to Disarm the opponent of that item gain a +2 circumstance bonus, and the target takes a –2 circumstance penalty to attacks with the item or other checks requiring a firm grasp on the item.
- Critical Failure You lose your balance and become flat-footed until the start of your next turn.
- Force Open
Force OpenSINGLE ACTION
Description Using your body, a lever, or some other tool, you attempt to forcefully open a door, window, container or heavy gate. With a high enough result, you can even smash through walls.
Applications Without a crowbar, prying something open takes a –2 item penalty to the Athletics check to Force Open.- Untrained fabric, flimsy glass
- Trained ice, sturdy glass
- Expert flimsy wooden door, wooden portcullis
- Master sturdy wooden door, iron portcullis, metal bar
- Legendary stone or iron door
- Critical Success You open the door, window, container, or gate and can avoid damaging it in the process.
- Success You break the door, window, container, or gate open, and the door, window, container, or gate gains the broken condition. If it’s especially sturdy, the GM might have it take damage but not be broken.
- Critical Failure Your attempt jams the door, window, container, or gate shut, imposing a –2 circumstance penalty on future attempts to Force it Open.
- Grapple
GrappleSINGLE ACTION
Requirements You have at least one free hand. Your target cannot be more than one size larger than you.Description You attempt to grab an opponent with your free hand.
Applications Attempt an Athletics check against their Fortitude DC. You can also Grapple to keep your hold on a creature you already grabbed. Degrees of Performance- Critical Success Your opponent is restrained until the end of your next turn unless you move or your opponent Escapes.
- Success Your opponent is grabbed until the end of your next turn unless you move or your opponent Escapes.
- Failure You fail to grab your opponent. If you already had the opponent grabbed or restrained using a Grapple, those conditions on that creature end.
- Critical Failure If you already had the opponent grabbed or restrained, it breaks free. Your target can either grab you, as if it succeeded at using the Grapple action against you, or force you to fall and land prone.
- High Jump
High JumpDOUBLE ACTION
Requirements You have at least one free hand. Your target cannot be more than one size larger than you.Description You Stride, then make a vertical Leap and attempt a DC 30 Athletics check to increase the height of your jump.
Applications If you didn’t Stride at least 10 feet, you automatically fail your check. This DC might be increased or decreased due to the situation, as determined by the GM. Leap The Leap basic action is used for High Jump and Long Jump. Leap lets you take a careful, short jump. You can Leap up to 10 feet horizontally if your Speed is at least 15 feet, or up to 15 feet horizontally if your Speed is at least 30 feet. You land in the space where your Leap ends (meaning you can typically clear a 5-foot gap if your Speed is between 15 feet and 30 feet, or a 10-foot gap if your Speed is 30 feet or more). If you make a vertical Leap, you can move up to 3 feet vertically and 5 feet horizontally onto an elevated surface. Degrees of Performance- Critical Success Increase the maximum vertical distance to 8 feet, or increase the maximum vertical distance to 5 feet and maximum horizontal distance to 10 feet.
- Success Increase the maximum vertical distance to 5 feet.
- Failure You Leap normally.
- Critical Failure You don’t Leap at all, and instead you fall prone in your space.
- Long Jump
Long JumpDOUBLE ACTION
Requirements You have at least one free hand. Your target cannot be more than one size larger than you.Description You Stride, then make a horizontal Leap and attempt an Athletics check to increase the length of your jump.
Applications The DC of the Athletics check is equal to the total distance in feet you’re attempting to move during your Leap (so you’d need to succeed at a DC 20 check to Leap 20 feet). You can’t Leap farther than your Speed. If you didn’t Stride at least 10 feet, or if you attempt to jump in a different direction than your Stride, you automatically fail your check. This DC might be increased or decreased due to the situation, as determined by the GM. Leap The Leap basic action is used for High Jump and Long Jump. Leap lets you take a careful, short jump. You can Leap up to 10 feet horizontally if your Speed is at least 15 feet, or up to 15 feet horizontally if your Speed is at least 30 feet. You land in the space where your Leap ends (meaning you can typically clear a 5-foot gap if your Speed is between 15 feet and 30 feet, or a 10-foot gap if your Speed is 30 feet or more). If you make a vertical Leap, you can move up to 3 feet vertically and 5 feet horizontally onto an elevated surface. Degrees of Performance- Success Increase the maximum horizontal distance you Leap to the desired distance.
- Failure You Leap normally.
- Critical Failure You Leap normally, but then fall and land prone.
- Shove
ShoveSINGLE ACTION
Requirements You have at least one free hand. Your target cannot be more than one size larger than you.Description You push an opponent away from you.
Applications Attempt an Athletics check against your opponent’s Fortitude DC.Forced Movement
The Shove action can force a creature to move. When an effect forces you to move, or if you start falling, the distance you move is defined by the effect that moved you, not by your Speed. Because you’re not acting to move, this doesn’t trigger reactions triggered by movement. Degrees of Performance- Critical Success You push your opponent up to 10 feet away from you. You can Stride after it, but you must move the same distance and in the same direction.
- Success You push your opponent back 5 feet. You can Stride after it, but you must move the same distance and in the same direction.
- Failure You Leap normally.
- Critical Failure You lose your balance, fall, and land prone.
- Swim
SwimSINGLE ACTION
Description You propel yourself through water.
Applications In most calm water, you succeed at the action without needing to attempt a check. If you must breathe air and you’re submerged in water, you must hold your breath each round. If you fail to hold your breath, you begin to drown. If the water you are swimming in is turbulent or otherwise dangerous, you might have to attempt an Athletics check to Swim. If you end your turn in water and haven’t succeeded at a Swim action that turn, you sink 10 feet or get moved by the current, as determined by the GM. However, if your last action on your turn was to enter the water, you don’t sink or move with the current that turn.- Untrained- lake or other still water
- Trained- flowing water, like a river
- Expert- swiftly flowing river
- Master- stormy sea
- Legendary- maelstrom, waterfall
- Critical Success You move through the water 10 feet, plus 5 feet per 20 feet of your land Speed (a total of 15 feet for most PCs).
- Success You move through the water 5 feet, plus 5 feet per 20 feet of your land Speed (a total of 10 feet for most PCs).
- Critical Failure You make no progress, and if you’re holding your breath, you lose 1 round of air.

Applications Attempt an Athletics check against the target’s Reflex DC.Falling
When you fall more than 5 feet, you take falling damage when you land, which is bludgeoning damage equal to half the distance you fell. If you take any damage from a fall, you’re knocked prone when you land. If you fall into water, snow, or another soft substance, calculate the damage from the fall as though your fall were 20 feet shorter. The reduction can’t be greater than the depth of the water (so when falling into water that is only 10 feet deep, you treat the fall as 10 feet shorter). You can Grab an Edge as a reaction to reduce or eliminate the damage from some falls. Degrees of Performance- Critical Success The target falls and lands prone and takes bludgeoning damage .
- Success The target falls and lands prone.
- Critical Failure You lose your balance and fall and land prone.

- Recall Knowledge
Recall KnowledgeSINGLE ACTION
Description To remember useful information on a topic, you can attempt to Recall Knowledge. You might know basic information about something without needing to attempt a check, but Recall Knowledge requires you to stop and think for a moment so you can recollect more specific facts and apply them. You might even need to spend time investigating first. For instance, to use Medicine to learn the cause of death, you might need to conduct a forensic examination before attempting to Recall Knowledge.
Applications The following skills can be used to Recall Knowledge, getting information about the listed topics. In some cases, you can get the GM’s permission to use a different but related skill, usually against a higher DC than normal. Some topics might appear on multiple lists, but the skills could give different information. For example, Arcana might tell you about the magical defenses of a golem, whereas Crafting could tell you about its sturdy resistance to physical attacks.- Arcana: Arcane theories, magical traditions, creatures of arcane significance, and arcane planes.
- Crafting: Alchemical reactions and creatures, item value, engineering, unusual materials, and constructs.
- Lore: The subject of the Lore skill’s subcategory.
- Medicine: Diseases, poisons, wounds, and forensics.
- Nature: The environment, flora, geography, weather, creatures of natural origin, and natural planes.
- Occultism: Ancient mysteries, obscure philosophy, creatures of occult significance, and esoteric planes.
- Religion: Divine agents, divine planes, theology, obscure myths, and creatures of religious significance.
- Society: Local history, key personalities, legal institutions, societal structure, and humanoid culture.
- Critical Success You recall the knowledge accurately and gain additional information or context.
- Success You recall the knowledge accurately or gain a useful clue about your current situation.
- Critical Failure You recall incorrect information or gain an erroneous or misleading clue.
- Earned Income
Earn IncomeDOWNTIME
Description You can use a skill—typically Crafting, Lore, or Performance—to earn money during downtime. You must be trained in the skill to do so. This takes time to set up, and your income depends on your proficiency rank and how lucrative a task you can find. Because this process requires a significant amount of time and involves tracking things outside the progress of adventures, it won’t come up in every campaign. In some cases, the GM might let you use a different skill to Earn Income through specialized work. Usually, this is scholarly work, such as using Religion in a monastery to study old texts—but giving sermons at a church would still fall under Performance instead of Religion. You also might be able to use physical skills to make money, such as using Acrobatics to perform feats in a circus or Thievery to pickpockets. If you’re using skill other than Crafting, Lore, or Performance, the DC tends to be significantly higher. You use one of your skills to make money during downtime. The GM assigns a task level representing the most lucrative job available. You can search for lower-level tasks, with the GM determining whether you find any. Sometimes you can attempt to find better work than the initial offerings, though this takes time and requires using the Diplomacy skill to Gather Information, doing some research, or socializing. When you take on a job, the GM secretly sets the DC of your skill check. After your first day of work, you roll to determine your earnings. You gain an amount of income based on your result, the task’s level, and your proficiency rank. You can continue working at the task on subsequent days without needing to roll again. For each day you spend after the first, you earn the same amount as the first day, up until the task’s completion. The GM determines how long you can work at the task. Most tasks last a week or two, though some can take months or even years.
Applications Crafting Goods for the Market (Crafting)- Using Crafting, you can work at producing common items for the market. It’s usually easy to find work making basic items whose level is 1 or 2 below your settlement’s level. Higher-level tasks represent special commissions, which might require you to Craft a specific item using the Craft downtime activity and sell it to a buyer at full price. These opportunities don’t occur as often and might have special requirements—or serious consequences if you disappoint a prominent client. Practicing a Trade (Lore)- You apply the practical benefits of one of your Lore specialties during downtime by practicing your trade. This is most effective for Lore specialties such as business, law, or sailing, where there’s high demand for workers. The GM might increase the DC or determine only low-level tasks are available if you’re attempting to use an obscure Lore skill to Earn Income. You might also need specialized tools to accept a job, like mining tools to work in a mine or a merchant’s scale to buy and sell valuables in a market. Staging a Performance (Performance)- You perform for an audience to make money. The available audiences determine the level of your task since more discerning audiences are harder to impress but provide a bigger payout. The GM determines the task level based on the audiences available. Performing for a typical audience of commoners on the street is a level 0 task, but a performance for a group of artisans with more refined tastes might be a 2nd- or 3rd-level task, and ones for merchants, nobility, and royalty are increasingly higher level. Your degree of success determines whether you moved your audience and whether you were rewarded with applause or rotten fruit. Degrees of Performance- Critical Success You do outstanding work. Gain the amount of currency listed for the task level + 1 and your proficiency rank.
- Success You do competent work. Gain the amount of currency listed for the task level and your proficiency rank.
- Failure You do shoddy work and get paid the bare minimum for your time. Gain the amount of currency listed in the failure column for the task level. The GM will likely reduce how long you can continue at the task.
- Critical Failure You earn nothing for your work and are fired immediately. You can’t continue at the task. Your reputation suffers, potentially making it difficult for you to find rewarding jobs in that community in the future.
Society
- Decipher Writing
Decipher WritingEXPLORATION
Description You attempt to decipher complicated writing or literature on an obscure topic.
Applications This usually takes 1 minute per page of text, but might take longer (typically an hour per page for decrypting ciphers or the like). The text must be in a language you can read, though the GM might allow you to attempt to decipher text written in an unfamiliar language using Society instead. The DC is determined by the GM based on the state or complexity of the document. The GM might have you roll one check for a short text or a check for each section of a larger text. Degrees of Performance- Critical Success You understand the true meaning of the text.
- Success You understand the true meaning of the text. If it was a coded document, you know the general meaning but might not have a word-for-word translation.
- Failure You can’t understand the text and take a –2 circumstance penalty to further checks to decipher it.
- Critical Failure You believe you understand the text on that page, but you have in fact misconstrued its message.
- Create Forgery
Create ForgeryDOWNTIME
Requirements You must have the proper writing material to create a forgery.Description You create a forged document, usually over the course of a day or a week.
Applications When you Create a Forgery, the GM rolls a secret DC 20 Society check. If you succeed, the forgery is of good enough quality that passive observers can’t notice the fake. Only those who carefully examine the document and attempt a Perception or Society check against your Society DC can do so. If the document’s handwriting doesn’t need to be specific to a person, you need only to have seen a similar document before, and you gain up to a +4 circumstance bonus to your check, as well as to your DC (the GM determines the bonus). To forge a specific person’s handwriting, you need a sample of that person’s handwriting. If your check result was below 20, the forgery has some obvious signs of being fake, so the GM compares your result to each passive observer’s Perception DC or Society DC, whichever is higher. Once the GM rolls your check for a document, that same result is used against all passive observers’ DCs no matter how many creatures passively observe that document. An observer who was fooled on a passive glance can still choose to closely scrutinize the documents on the lookout for a forgery, using different techniques and analysis methods beyond the surface elements you successfully forged with your original check. In that case, the observer can attempt a Perception or Society check against your Society DC (if they succeed, they know your document is a forgery). Degrees of Performance- Success The observer does not detect the forgery..
- FailureThe observer knows your document is a forgery.
- Recall Knowledge
- Subsist
SubsistDOWNTIME
Description You try to provide food and shelter for yourself, and possibly others as well.
Applications The GM determines the DC based on the nature of the place where you’re trying to Subsist. You might need a minimum proficiency rank to Subsist in particularly strange environments. Unlike most downtime activities, you can Subsist after 8 hours or less of exploration, but if you do, you take a –5 penalty. Critical Success Success Failure Critical Failure Degrees of Performance- Critical Success You either provide a subsistence living for yourself and one additional creature, or you improve your own food and shelter, granting yourself a comfortable living.
- Success You find enough food and shelter with basic protection from the elements to provide you a subsistence living.
- FailureYou’re exposed to the elements and don’t get enough food, becoming fatigued until you attain sufficient food and shelter.
- Critical Failure You attract trouble, eat something you shouldn’t, or otherwise worsen your situation. You take a –2 circumstance penalty to checks to Subsist for 1 week. You don’t find any food at all; if you don’t have any stored up, you’re in danger of starving or dying of thirst if you continue failing.
Charisma
Deception
- Charming Liar
Charming Liar - Skill Feat 1, General Feat 1TRAIT
Requirements Trained in DeceptionDescription Your charm allows you to win over those you lie to.
Applications When you get a critical success using the Lie action, the target’s attitude toward you improves by one step, as though you’d succeeded at using Diplomacy to Make an Impression. This works only once per conversation, and if you critically succeed against multiple targets using the same result, you choose one creature’s attitude to improve. You must be lying to impart seemingly important information, inflate your status, or ingratiate yourself, which trivial or irrelevant lies can’t achieve. - Confabulator
Confabulator - General Feat 2TRAIT
Requirements Expert in DeceptionDescription Even when caught in falsehoods, you pile lie upon lie.
Applications Reduce the circumstance bonus a target gains for your previous attempts to Create a Diversion or Lie to it from +4 to +2. If you’re a master in Deception, reduce the bonus to +1, and if you’re legendary, your targets don’t get these bonuses at all. - Create a Diversion
Create a DiversionSINGLE ACTION
Description With a gesture, a trick, or some distracting words, you can create a diversion that draws creatures’ attention elsewhere.
Applications If you use a gesture or trick, this action gains the manipulate trait. If you use distracting words, it gains the auditory and linguistic traits. Attempt a single Deception check and compare it to the Perception DCs of the creatures whose attention you’re trying to divert. Whether or not you succeed, creatures you attempt to divert gain a +4 circumstance bonus to their Perception DCs against your attempts to Create a Diversion for 1 minute. Degrees of Performance- Success You become hidden to each creature whose Perception DC is less than or equal to your result. This lasts until the end of your turn or until you do anything except Step or use the Hide or the Sneak action of the Stealth skill. If you Strike a creature, the creature remains flat‑footed against that attack, and you then become observed. If you do anything else, you become observed just before you act unless the GM determines otherwise.
- FailureYou don’t divert the attention of any creatures whose Perception DC exceeds your result, and those creatures are aware you were trying to trick them.
- Fient
FientSINGLE ACTION
Requirements You are within melee reach of the opponent you attempt to Feint.Description With a misleading flourish, you leave an opponent unprepared for your real attack.
Applications Attempt a Deception check against that opponent’s Perception DC. Critical Success Success Critical Failure Degrees of Performance- Critical Success You throw your enemy’s defenses against you entirely off. The target is flat-footed against melee attacks that you attempt against it until the end of your next turn.
- Success Your foe is fooled, but only momentarily. The target is flat-footed against the next melee attack that you attempt against it before the end of your current turn.
- Critical FailureYour feint backfires. You are flat-footed against melee attacks the target attempts against you until the end of your next turn.
- Impersonate
ImpersonateEXPLORATION
Description You create a disguise to pass yourself off as someone or something you are not. Assembling a convincing disguise takes 10 minutes and requires a disguise kit, but a simpler, quicker disguise might do the job if you’re not trying to imitate a specific individual, at the GM’s discretion.
Applications In most cases, creatures have a chance to detect your deception only if they use the Seek action to attempt Perception checks against your Deception DC. If you attempt to directly interact with someone while disguised, the GM rolls a secret Deception check for you against that creature’s Perception DC instead. If you’re disguised as a specific individual, the GM might give creatures you interact with a circumstance bonus based on how well they know the person you’re imitating, or the GM might roll a secret Deception check even if you aren’t directly interacting with others. Degrees of Performance- Success You trick the creature into thinking you’re the person you’re disguised as. You might have to attempt a new check if your behavior changes.
- FailureThe creature can tell you’re not who you claim to be.
- Critical FailureThe creature can tell you’re not who you claim to be, and it recognizes you if it would know you without a disguise.
- Lie
LieEXPLORATION
Description You try to fool someone with an untruth.
Applications Doing so takes at least 1 round, or longer if the lie is elaborate. You roll a single Deception check and compare it against the Perception DC of every creature you are trying to fool. The GM might give them a circumstance bonus based on the situation and nature of the lie you are trying to tell. Elaborate or highly unbelievable lies are much harder to get a creature to believe than simpler and more believable lies, and some lies are so big that it’s impossible to get anyone to believe them. At the GM’s discretion, if a creature initially believes your lie, it might attempt a Perception check later to Sense Motive against your Deception DC to realize it’s a lie. This usually happens if the creature discovers enough evidence to counter your statements. Degrees of Performance- Success The target believes your lie.
- FailureThe target doesn’t believe your lie and gains a +4 circumstance bonus against your attempts to Lie for the duration of your conversation. The target is also more likely to be suspicious of you in the future.
Diplomacy
- Befriend a Local
RequestSINGLE ACTION
Description You can make a request of a creature that’s friendly or helpful to you.
Applications You must couch the request in terms that the target would accept given their current attitude toward you. The GM sets the DC-based on the difficulty of the request. Some requests are unsavory or impossible, and even a helpful NPC would never agree to them. Degrees of Performance- Critical Success The target agrees to your request without qualifications.
- Success The target agrees to your request, but they might demand added provisions or alterations to the request.
- Failure The target refuses the request, though they might propose an alternative that is less extreme.
- Critical Failure Not only does the target refuse the request, but their attitude toward you decreases by one.
Changing Attitudes
Your influence on NPCs is measured with a set of attitudes that reflect how they view your character.- Helpful Willing to help you and responds favorably to your requests.
- Friendly Has a good attitude toward you, but won’t necessarily stick their neck out to help you.
- Indifferent Doesn’t care about you either way. (Most NPCs start out indifferent.)
- Unfriendly Dislikes you and doesn’t want to help you.
- Hostile- Actively works against you—and might attack you just because of their dislike.
- Gather Information
Gather InformationEXPLORATION
Description You canvass local markets, taverns, and gathering places in an attempt to learn about a specific individual or topic.
Applications The GM determines the DC of the check and the amount of time it takes (typically 2 hours, but sometimes more), along with any benefit you might be able to gain by spending coin on bribes, drinks, or gifts. Degrees of Performance- Critical Success You gain relevant information from the next Higher difficulty tier.
- Success You collect information about the individual or topic. The GM determines the specifics.
- Critical FailureYou collect incorrect information about the individual or topic.
Sample Gather Information Tasks
- Untrained talk of the town
- Trained common rumor
- Expert obscure rumor, poorly guarded secret
- Master well-guarded or esoteric information
- Legendary information known only to an incredibly select few, or only to extraordinary beings
- Glad-Hand
Glad-Hand - Skill Feat 2, General Feat 2TRAIT
Requirements expert in DiplomacyDescription First impressions are your strong suit.
Applications When you meet someone in a casual or social situation, you can immediately attempt a Diplomacy check to Make an Impression on that creature rather than needing to converse for 1 minute. You take a –5 penalty to the check. If you fail or critically fail, you can engage in 1 minute of conversation and attempt a new check at the end of that time rather than accepting the failure or critical failure result. - Hobnobber
Hobnobber - Feat 1TRAIT
Requirements trained in DiplomacyDescription You are skilled at learning information through conversation.
Applications The Gather Information exploration activity takes you half as long as normal (typically reducing the time to 1 hour). If you’re a master in Diplomacy and you Gather Information at the normal speed, when you attempt to do so and roll a critical failure, you get a failure instead. There is still no guarantee that a rumor you learn with Gather Information is accurate. - Make an Impression
Make an ImpressionEXPLORATION
Description With at least 1 minute of conversation, during which you engage in charismatic overtures, flattery, and other acts of goodwill, you seek to make a good impression on someone to make them temporarily agreeable.
Applications At the end of the conversation, attempt a Diplomacy check against the Will DC of one target, modified by any circumstances the GM sees fit. Good impressions (or bad impressions, on a critical failure) last for only the current social interaction unless the GM decides otherwise. Degrees of Performance- Critical Success The target’s attitude toward you improves by two steps.
- Success The target’s attitude toward you improves by one step.
- Critical Failure The target’s attitude toward you decreases by one step.

Intimidate
- Coerce
CoerceEXPLORATION
Description With threats either veiled or overt, you attempt to bully a creature into doing what you want.
Applications You must spend at least 1 minute of conversation with a creature you can see and that can either see or sense you. At the end of the conversation, attempt an Intimidation check against the target’s Will DC, modified by any circumstances the GM determines. Degrees of Performance- Critical Success The target gives you the information you seek or agrees to follow your directives so long as they aren’t likely to harm the target in any way. The target continues to comply for an amount of time determined by the GM but not exceeding 1 day, at which point the target becomes unfriendly (if they weren’t already unfriendly or hostile). However, the target is too scared of you to retaliate—at least in the short term.
- Success As critical success, but once the target becomes unfriendly, they might decide to act against you—for example, by reporting you to the authorities or assisting your enemies.
- Failure The target doesn’t do what you say, and if they were not already unfriendly or hostile, they become unfriendly. Critical Failure The target refuses to comply becomes hostile if they weren’t already, and can’t be Coerced by you for at least 1 week.

Description With a sudden shout, a well-timed taunt, or a cutting put-down, you can shake an enemy’s resolve.
Applications Choose a creature within 30 feet of you who you’re aware of. Attempt an Intimidation check against that target’s Will DC. If the target does not understand the language you are speaking, you’re not speaking a language, or they can’t hear you, you take a –4 circumstance penalty to the check. Regardless of your result, the target is temporarily immune to your attempts to Demoralize it for 10 minutes. Degrees of Performance- Critical Success The target becomes frightened 2.
- Success The target becomes frightened 1.
