It also attempts to address some of the power disparity, although I'm sure it'll have it's own host of problems. But hey, that's why I'm posting, for feedback.EDIT: Something's messing up the formatting. If you notice missing spaces, or added line breaks, please let me know.Actor:Skilled at mimicry and dramatics, you gain the following benefits:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You have advantage on Charisma (Deception) and Charisma (Performance) checks.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can mimic the speech of another person or the sounds made by other creatures. You must have heard the person speaking, or heard the creature make the sound, for at least 1 minute. A successful Wisdom (Insight) check contested by your Charisma (Deception) check allows a listener to determine that the effect is faked.</li> </ul>Alert:Always on the lookout for danger, you gain the following benefits:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You gain a 1d6 bonus to initiative.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Other creatures don't gain advantage on attack rolls against you as a result of being hidden.</li> </ul>Called Shot:By going for a riskier strike, you can try to leverage more damage.
