I am interested in the potential of the Autumn eladrin variant of Fey Step to give advantage on social skill checks.
The Autumn version of Fey Step includes a rider that up to two creatures within 10' of the space where the Eladrin lands must make a Wis save or be charmed for 1 minute. I am supposing that there is no prohibition against the eladrin using Fey Step to give him/herself advantage on a subsequent social skill check. For instance, if an eladrin wishes to persuade/intimidate/deceive a certain NPC out of combat, they could Fey Step next to the intended target and subsequently use the appropriate skill to accomplish their goal if the target is successfully charmed. Things get a bit murky if the eladrin is already in conversation with the target NPC. In such a case, I imagine the eladrin could teleport to an unoccupied spot next to the target, force the save, and then attempt the skill check if the save is unsuccessful. Perhaps the eladrin could teleport from in front of the target to behind them and claim to be "fast on their feet" if the target voices surprise by their sudden disappearance and reappearance.

What do others think?
Yeah, there's nothing saying you can't use Fey Step that way. As a DM I would encourage a player to describe how exactly it works in their specific situation, but it seems perfectly valid.
In true fey fashion i am moving around this person as we negotiate, as i pass behind a tree i use fey step and appear behind him, gently hanging off of him as i smile "now why dont you consider giving us that useless old key" the goal is to be flirty but also slightly unsettling.

"Flirty but also slightly unsettling" seems extremely on-brand for the Feywild.

I prefer to take my social interaction calories in intimidation and deception. However, it's Friday. I'll settle for a solid DIPA.
