Type: Ancestor
Source: Dragon #315
You are descended from a courtesan of legendary beauty, the subject of many tales and ballads. You are a talented manipulator of other people's emotions.
Region: Shou Lung (Sheng Ti), Wa.
Benefit: You can use the Diplomacy skill to produce the following effects:
Change an NPC's attitude toward a person other than yourself. The DC is the same as if you were changing the character's attitude toward you.
Inspire love and devotion. If you successfully improve a character's attitude toward you (only) to helpful, you can choose to cause that character to show romantic interest in you. The character thereafter seeks every opportunity to be near you and makes every effort to win your affection, within the bounds of relatively normal behavior.
Inspire hope or despair. With a successful DC 25 Diplomacy check, you can cause a single target to be filled with hope or despair as if affected by the bless or bane spell. In the case of despair, the target can negate the effect with a successful Will saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your Diplomacy ranks + your Charisma modifier). Your caster level is equal to your Hit Dice. This is a mind-affecting extraordinary effect.
