Progression
| Level | Unlock | Feat | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Novice feat choice (pick one) |  The Negotiator
|
You gain +2 to the declared Bartering check when structuring an unconventional exchange, and you can broach trades others would not entertain. The check still resolves normally, and the offer must hold roughly fair value. The bonus sharpens your pitch, it does not force a lopsided deal. |
 Debt Collector
|
You instinctively frame assistance as creating social debt. Gain +2 to the declared Bartering or Persuasion check when calling in these debts. However, this creates resentment and targets don't consider you a friend. | ||
 Pyramid Scheme
|
On a successful trade, you gain the Pyramid Scheme Active BUFF: +2 to Bartering checks for the next hour. Refreshes after 1 in-game hour. | ||
| 3 | Passive bonus | Carrying capacity bonus | |
| 4 | Mastery bonus | +1 to Bartering rolls | |
| 6 | Adept feat choice (pick one) |  Know a Guy
|
Make a Bartering check to locate a black market contact in any settlement. On success, gain access to illegal, rare, or restricted items and services at a steep markup. On failure, the contact does not trust you. Either way, the contact remembers you and may sell information about your business to interested parties. |
 Golden Aura
|
The target makes a Wisdom save (DC 13) or gains Bought Off: bought off and unwilling to act against you while the goodwill holds, and slowed by easy complacency (-2 Strength, -2 Dexterity). A heavier purse makes refusal harder to justify. They remember the transaction, for better or worse. | ||
 Everyone Loves a Critic
|
The target makes a Wisdom save or gains Buyer's Remorse: they second-guess their own gear, fighting weaker for a short while (-2 Strength). On a successful Wisdom save, the critique fails to land. Only works on intelligent creatures who understand your language. | ||
