Deceptive Mind (Talent)

From Epic Path
Jump to navigation Jump to search

You give the enemy just enough compliance to believe they are still in control, biding your time for the right moment.

Ability Type: Ex

Prerequisites: Rogue 16

Benefit: Any time the rogue successfully saves versus a mind-affecting ability, they continue to be aware of the creature's commands and messages for the duration of the effect, although they need not obey. The rogue may make a Bluff check with a +2 training bonus against the Sense Motive rolls of the user of the mind-affecting ability, and if they succeed, the user of the mind-affecting ability is not aware the rogue has defeated their ability and believes the rogue is under their thrall. The rogue may continue to make Bluff checks each round to continue the deception, and deceive the user of the ability with lies and half-truths, if they so desire.
