Dauntless

A childhood spent confronting deepest fears, again and again, builds a resolve that turns real terror into fuel for pressing on.

Granted Features
Automatic:
A sharp verbal jab rattles a foe's focus and resolve for a minute, though a retort can shake it off early and a failed jibe turns the sting on you.
Negotiation and flattery open doors in social encounters, letting a character pry loose information or win over a wary contact.

As a child, you chose to face each of your deepest fears and, time and again, emerged victorious. You have learned to conquer fear itself, and by sheer force of will and determination, you're able to brush off frightening experiences more easily than most. Others find it difficult to intimidate you into backing down from whatever you've set your mind to.

Choose two ability boosts. One must be to Wisdom or Charisma, and one is a free ability boost.

You are trained in the Diplomacy skill. You gain the Indomitable Act reaction.

Indomitable Act R Frequency once per day; Trigger You are about to attempt a check; Requirements You are Frightened; Effect You lean into your fear, using it to embolden you. You can roll the triggering check twice and take the higher result. This is a Fortune effect.

Boosts CHA, WIS
