Daredevil

Through your words, mannerisms, and actions, you demonstrate a certain subtle (or not) confidence in your own ability to attempt and survive death-defying feats. Those who observe and interact with you typically cannot deny that your confidence seems legitimate. When interacting with a creature you can meaningfully communicate with, they are very likely to believe that you will attempt (and likely succeed at) any dangerous task you express interest and intent in performing.

For example, when a daredevil character tells the king that they will scale the wall and save the prince, the king is likely to believe that the character can and will do just that. Likewise, while saving the prince, if the character warns off the kidnapper by saying, “Don’t come any closer or we’ll jump off this bridge!” the kidnapper is likely to take the statement seriously and react accordingly, whether that means stopping, attacking, or any other action that makes sense for that NPC believing that threat.

On the other hand, if the character were to threaten, “I’ll slay you and all your guards if you don’t let us go!” the kidnapper is likely to believe that the character will attempt it, though given the situation and the number of guards, the kidnapper might make his own determination about the probable outcome.

It is always up to the GM to decide how this feature affects an NPC’s behavior and reactions, but the GM is encouraged to at least factor it into NPC interactions with the character where applicable so that the NPCs give the daredevil the benefit of the doubt when it comes to their ability and willingness to risk their own life.
