trickster
This is an old revision of the document!
The perfect adventuring companion is unquestionably trustworthy to their allies, but still a complete reprobate when the situation calls for it. It can be a hard quality to find by chance, which is why I'm attempting to instill the proper values in you impressionable youngsters instead.
A Trickster is a fast-talking con artist. The weapons don't have to actually be out for there to be a battle going on, an invisible battle of information and trust that the clueless chumps that surround a Trickster are nearly ignorant of. In such waters, the fish rarely recognize the sharks until it's too late.

Trickster
| Social | plus-circleSilvertongue: You know how to tell extremely believable lies. So long as nobody actually has a way of disproving anything you're saying, they'll believe you. minus-circleThis Ain't Diplomancy: If you tell a weird or suspicious lie, listeners will definitely still try to verify before they take any action on it even if it seems believable as you tell it. If you tell a really outrageous or bizarre lie, they just straight-up won't believe you. |
|
|---|---|---|
Doublespeak
| Social | plus-circleCant: You can slip secret messages into your communication by using allusions, slang and innuendo that your allies (or whoever else you choose) can understand but anyone else listening/watching you would not even notice. | |
|---|---|---|
| Social | plus-circleLie Detection: You can't bullshit a bullshitter. Whenever you are listening to another creature speak, you can ask the referee if they're telling the truth. The referee secretly rolls a die where you can't see- if the result is 4+, then the referee tells you honestly if they're telling the truth or if they seem like they're hiding something. If the result is 1-3, the referee simply tells you that they are telling the truth whether that's accurate or not. minus-circleSocial Fog: If the creature you are using this ability on also has levels in the Trickster class, Lie Detector automatically fails. |
|
Inception
| Social | plus-circleBWAAAAAH: When you successfully perform an operation challenge to convince a target to do something, you're so slick that the target always ends up believing that it was their own idea to do the thing you wanted all along. If you want, you can even make them believe that you actually tried to talk them out of it. | |
|---|---|---|
Sincerity
| Social | plus-circlePolygraph Buster: No matter how bizarre, ludicrous or straight-up impossible the lies you tell, you have a way of telling them with such conviction that everybody at least believes that you believe what you're saying. They may call you inaccurate, mistaken, or even insane, but they will never call you a liar. | |
|---|---|---|
| Social | plus-circleAct Like You Belong: So long as you don't draw any undue attention to yourself, everybody will assume you have the right to be wherever you go even if you really don't. | |
Tongue Slip
| Social | plus-circleConversational Trickery: You have a way of making others talk about themselves even when they don't want or mean to. If you can engage a subject in conversation for at least a single procedure of time, you may compel them to truthfully answer any personal question you ask of them, such as their greatest fear, true loyalty, current goal or whatever. minus-circleEmbarrassing Slip-Up: After providing the answer to your question, the subject will be more guarded around you and won't answer anything else through the use of this ability for the rest of the session. |
|
|---|---|---|
| caret-right | Alternative | plus-circleYou're Doing Fine: You can choose for a creature who just told you something juicy to not even realize it, allowing you to gain more information from them and not let on that you've even learned anything to begin with. minus-circleMojo: Hiding your trickery from a creature costs 1 Mojo per time that you do so. |
| Social | plus-circleMonologue: If a creature believes that you are in their power (they have you captured, confined, or they simply believe themselves to completely and overwhelmingly outclass you) then you can provoke them into telling you anything you want about themselves, their plan, anything. You are not limited to only one piece of information. They hold nothing back. Note that you do not actually have to be under your target's power, they need only believe that you are. | |
Unreadable
| Protection | plus-circleTransformed Tells: You automatically know when any other creature is trying to use the Negotiator ability to find out what you want or the Scoundrel ability to find out what you don't. You can choose to prevent them from learning anything or feed them false information of your choice. plus-circleNice Try, Flatfoot: You can likewise know when any creature is trying to use the Investigator's Sherlock ability to learn facts about you, and choose to either give them nothing or cause them to draw the wrong conclusions of your choice. |
|
|---|---|---|
| Protection | plus-circleMind Shield: You are completely immune to every trick in the Telepath class. If a telepath tries to read your mind, you can send them any thoughts you want. | |
Enterprises
| Trickster School | The settlement hosts an institution that teaches the secrets of this class for a small fee. Keystones of this class can be purchased here for 1 Dosh each. |
