Silver Tongue

+5 Persuasion; hostile targets reroll initial resistance; CHA mod applies to opposing CHA mod.

The character can talk the unwary and the wary into a quieter state of mind. The character gains +5 to all Persuasion checks. When the character attempts to persuade a target whose initial attitude is hostile or unfriendly, the target must reroll its initial Will resistance (if any) against the character's Persuasion; the character picks the better result for themselves. The character's own CHA modifier is added to opposed Persuasion contests when both characters have CHA modifiers.

Notes

Special: Stacks with Master of Crowds. Does not function on mind-controlled or psionically dominated targets. The hostile reroll happens once per target per scene, not on every attempt.
