Golden Aura

Golden Aura

Tier	Adept
Source	Bartering (level 6 choice)
Trigger	Bartering check
Declarable	Yes

Golden Aura is a Adept Bartering feat.

"Gold is the universal language, and you speak it with perfect grammar. A guard's loyalty, a witness's memory, a gatekeeper's standards, everything loosens with the right amount of coin pressed into the right palm at the right moment."

Activation

You press gold on a neutral or indifferent creature during a tense moment, negotiation, or standoff, and declare a Bartering check.

Effect

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.
