Traveling Actor

A road-worn performer collapses in a theatrical death the instant they're hurt, and only a sharp eye catches the ruse before it's too late.

commonHumanHumanoid

The life of a traveling actor is, contrary to belief, not one of glamor but of effort — a thousand faces worn on the long road from town to town, with little reward save the adoration of the crowd.

Dramatic Death [Reaction] Trigger The traveling actor takes any damage; Effect The traveling actor falls prone and dramatically announces their death. They appear to have died. Anyone who is suspicious of this “death” can Seek to attempt a secret Perception check against the traveling actor's Performance DC. On a success, they see through the ruse.

Versatile Performance The traveling actor can use Performance instead of Diplomacy to Make an Impression and instead of Intimidation to Demoralize.
