 +
===Polishes===
 +
====Adroit Leaper====
 +
You're light on your feet, quick and nimble, assets that make leaps and bounds effortless for you.
 +
 +
'''Skill Affected:''' Jump<br>
 +
'''New Key Stat:''' Dex<br>
 +
 +
Two abilities.
 +
 +
====Cold Reader====
 +
You're quick at figuring out what others want to hear - and what they're willing to believe.
 +
 +
'''Skill Affected:''' Bluff<br>
 +
'''New Key Stat:''' Wis<br>
 +
 +
''Easy Target:'' Overconfidence breeds weakness - and you're good at reading when a foe feels too sure of himself and playing on it. Once per encounter as an immediate action, you can select an enemy within 30 feet and make a Bluff check opposed by the foe's Sense Motive check. If you succeed, that foe's next attack against you is made at a -4 penalty. You get a +4 bonus on this check if below full HP, and the foe takes a -4 penalty to his Sense Motive check if he has already damaged you this encounter.
 +
 +
''Instill Worry:'' It takes very little in the line of acting ability to look behind someone and appear worried - and you've mastered the art of finding the degree of fear necessary to make the foe, despite his best judgment, look behind him. Once per encounter as a swift action, you can divert the attention of a foe within 30 feet with Int 3 or greater by making a Bluff check opposed by the foe's Sense Motive check. If you succeed, the foe is treated as being flanked until the start of your next turn.
 +
 +
====Critical Eye====
 +
You're a master at quickly assessing items, not just for their potential value, but quite specifically for flaws which would detract from or weaken them.
 +
 +
'''Skill Affected:''' Appraise<br>
 +
 +
Two abilities.
 +
 +
====Mental Offense====
 +
You can sense foes in the psionic field and time small surges of aggressive thought to press combat advantage.
 +
 +
'''Skill Affected:''' Psicraft<br>
 +
 +
====Mental Shield====
 +
You can sense foes in the psionic field and time small surges of impeding thought to better your defensive position.
 +
 +
'''Skill Affected:''' Psicraft<br>
 +
'''New Key Stat:''' Wis (mayyyybe)<br>
 +
 +
====Might Makes Fright====
 +
You are very strong and some people find that scary.
 +
 +
'''Skill Affected:''' Intimidate<br>
 +
'''New Key Stat:''' Str<br>
 +
 +
''Warning Shot:'' When your attack narrowly misses removing someone's arm, they know deep down how doomed they are. Once per encounter when you miss with a melee attack, you may make a Demoralize attempt as a swift action against the foe you just missed.
 +
 +
====Psychological Bully====
 +
You get into foes' minds with meticulous and precise eroding of their willpower.
 +
 +
'''Skill Affected:''' Intimidate<br>
 +
'''New Key Stat:''' Int<br>
 +
 +
''Psychological Assault:'' You can break a foe's resolve by insulting, distracting and belittling him. This ability is identical to the Demoralize action, but you must be able to speak and the target must be able to understand you. You can maintain a successful psychological assault each round by concentrating as a free action; if your concentration is broken, however, the effect immediately ends and your target is no longer shaken. You may attempt a psychological assault once per encounter.
 +
 +
====Slick Like Grease====
 +
You're always on the lookout for things that you might need to elude or slip free from, and this heightened caution has saved you time and time again.
 +
 +
'''Skill Affected:''' Escape Artist<br>
 +
 +
''Beyond Your Grasp:'' Escape Artist check in place of opposed grapple on hold.
 +
 +
''Survival Instinct:'' Escape Artist check to get a bonus to Reflex save, negate partial effect.
 +
 +
====Unnoticed Ally====
 +
Your free hand always seems to have something to do to help you out, but all your foes see is the hand with the weapon until it's too late.
 +
 +
'''Skill Affected:''' Sleight of Hand<br>
 +
 +
''Blinding Sleight:''' Your enemy spends too much time watching your main hand, allowing you to surprise him with the "meaningless" contents of your off hand. If you are in dusty, sandy, rocky or otherwise powdery terrain, you can collect and throw a handful of dust and debris at a foe's eyes once per encounter as a swift action. Make a ranged touch attack against your target. If you hit, the foe must make a Will save (DC 10 + your ranks in Sleight of Hand) or be blinded for 1 round. Even if the foe saves, he is still dazzled for one round. Your opponent may make a Spot check opposed by your Sleight of Hand check to notice what you're holding in your off hand. If he succeeds, he gets a +4 bonus to his Will save and to his touch AC against the blinding sleight attack.
 +
 +
''Eagle's Talon:''' In combat, an action that does not produce immediate results is often ignored, to your advantage. Once per encounter as a move action (or as part of a move action if your BAB is +1 or greater), you may throw a held weapon high up into the air. On your next turn, you may make a Sleight of Hand check (DC 15) to catch the falling weapon, surprising any enemy you (now) threaten with that weapon and rendering them flat-footed. Each such foe may make an opposed Spot check to notice the descending weapon; foes who see it are not flat-footed. If you fail the Sleight of Hand check, the weapon falls to the ground in your square. You require a mostly open environment to employ Eagle's Talon; low ceilings or hanging objects will block the weapon's trajectory.
 +
 +
''Monkey Grab:''' Your foe thinks your ability to threaten him is defined by your weapon, and likewise with his own, until he finds your hand already holding the item he needs to use. Once per encounter as an immediate action, you can make a Sleight of Hand check against an adjacent opponent, opposed by that target's Spot check. If you succeed, you gain a light grip on the foe's held weapon, shield or other held item (your choice) which is secured until the start of your next turn unless broken. A foe attempting to attack you with a gripped weapon takes a -4 penalty to the attack roll and breaks your grip. A foe with a gripped shield loses his shield bonus to AC. A foe with any other gripped item cannot use said item. An opponent holding a gripped item can take a move action to break your grip.

====Famous====
 +
Becoming '''Famous''' is very useful, increasing reward chances and establishing a legacy. It takes very high favor with the Audience to become '''Famous'''.
 +
 +
====Scorned====
 +
Becoming '''Scorned''' comes from too many losses, and imposes severe penalties. You can no longer impress anyone in the Pit. If you lose, you accrue no favor at all.
