Rumormonger (Talent)

Rumormonger (Ex)

Prerequisites: Advanced Talents

Benefit: A rogue with this talent can attempt to spread a rumor through a small town or larger settlement by making a Bluff check. She can do so once per week. The DC is based on a Challenging check for the Merchant Caster Level for the size of the settlement, and it takes a week for the rumor to propagate through the settlement. If the check succeeds, the rumor is practically accepted as fact within the community. Succeeding by 5 or more over the DC decreases the time it takes the rumor to propagate by 1d4 days. A failed check means the rumor failed to gain traction, while failing by 5 or more causes the opposite of the rumor or some other competing theory involving the rumor's subject to take hold.

Special: A rogue with the "Clever Rogue" path may attempt to use 'Rumormonger' two additional times per week.
