Master Debater (B.S. Artist)

Gain +1 to your Charisma score (not exceeding a total of 20).

You are a world-class “B.S.” artist.  You somehow manage to twist other people’s words to your benefit.  The way you manage to toy with others brings to mind images of Buggs with Elmer.

Fake It ‘til You Make It

You have proficiency (if you didn’t previously) and expertise in all Charisma-based ability checks (persuasion, deception, intimidation, performance).  You are also considered proficient in Charisma saving throws.  When you have someone’s attention, you live by the motto “fake it ‘til you make it.”  Your charm and mastery of B.S. somehow tends to facilitate this strategy.  

Master Debater

Once per long rest: When you fail your initial attempt to persuade a creature, you may re-attempt the persuasion check with an additional rebuttal.  You may even use the same basic argument/suggestion, delivering it with slightly different words.  

Slip of the Tongue

Once per long rest:  When you say the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong person in a social situation (no matter how dire), you can choose to pause a moment, then start to laugh as if it were an obviously ridiculous joke.  Roll a d20. If you roll 11 or above, others join in with friendly laughter instead of becoming hostile or distrustful toward you. If you roll 1-5, the normal consequences of your statement run their course.  If you roll 6-10, someone just interjects, “I don’t get it,” and you must attempt to talk your way out of the situation (make a deception check with disadvantage).
