Dandy

After mingling alongside the tastemakers of the Ivy District, you understand how rumors spread through larger settlements. When you use the Influence Rumor downtime activity in a city or metropolis, decrease the DC of the check by 5. When you're in the metropolis of Absalom, the DC is reduced by an additional 5. At the GM's discretion, this second reduction might apply to the DC of Influence Rumor's skill check when you manipulate a rumor outside of Absalom but among a group of Absalomians.

You are trained in Gossip Lore, a special Lore skill that can be used only to Recall Knowledge, but on any topic. If you fail a check to Recall Knowledge with Gossip Lore, you get the effects of the Dubious Knowledge skill feat.

If you have legendary proficiency in Society, you gain expert proficiency in Gossip Lore, but you can't increase your proficiency rank in Gossip Lore by any other means.

You've spent so many hours at the Ivy Playhouse or sparring with the Street Performers and Actors' Guild that you've picked up some stage combat techniques. In a fight, you can apply these approaches to make an attack less harmful but more confounding to your foes. Make a melee Strike. If you hit, you take a circumstance penalty to damage equal to the number of weapon damage dice, and the damage gains the nonlethal trait. However, the target is perplexed by the theatricality of your attack and becomes Clumsy 1 until the end of your next turn.

Trigger An ally within 30 feet fails a Will saving throw against a mental effect.

You expect the same level of urbane sophistication from your allies as you possess, so whenever one of them succumbs to egregious behavior from a mental effect, you're immediately mortified. How dare they make you look bad! Whether you respond with noisy contempt or quiet distress, your reaction gives your ally a second chance to shake off the effect and save the moment, at least socially. Your ally rerolls the triggering Will saving throw with a +1 circumstance bonus and uses the higher result. Regardless of the result of the save, your ally is temporarily immune to Such a Disgrace! for 10 minutes.

You attend all the fashionable society parties, no matter how exclusive they might be.

Any time you encounter a social event you would ordinarily be denied access to, such as a coronation, royal gala, or other society function, you can spend 1d4 hours to secure entry without the need for a skill check. You find invitations, invitees looking for fashionable dates, temporary jobs with the caterers, event staff willing to look the other way, or some other mode of access for yourself and your allies.

This ability doesn't apply to secret events or other small private gatherings with no staff, dates, or outsiders involved.

This ability doesn't apply to secret events or other small private gatherings.

Frequency once per day

Trigger You're about to roll initiative.

In socially exclusive venues like the Ivy District's Bloom Cabaret, you've learned how to make an entrance. This confidence doesn't betray you when you find yourself about to enter combat, allowing you to throw enemies temporarily off-balance. Once per day, you can choose to not roll initiative. Instead, you voluntarily go last. If more than one character uses this ability or another ability to go last, use the normal rules for resolving a tie: NPCs and monsters act before PCs, and within those groups, the creature can choose whichever order they want.

Enemies who can see you must attempt a Will saving throw against your class DC or spell DC, whichever is higher. On a failure, the enemy is overcome with anticipation for what you'll do or say next and can't use reactions for 1 round.

In addition, during your first turn, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to the first Deception, Diplomacy, or Intimidation check you attempt.

You gain a +1 circumstance bonus to this check if you're in a city or a +2 circumstance bonus to this check if you're in a metropolis. If you're specifically in Absalom, the bonus is instead +3.
