[QUOTE="MJS, post: 6180017, member: 6747144"] Sorry for the Necro-quoting. I moved, lacked interwebs for a good while. I'd support a thief trying to provoke a theft of their valuable possession. From there, the DM rolls a reaction die, and goes from there. Any character can do this however, no need to be a thief, and no need to make it a special feat, and again, you have to describe what you're doing - thats where "narrative option" comes in. The thief will probably also attract attention he/she didn't intend, tis the nature of what they are attempting. Then, the fighter example....no, just no. Fighter players need to be imaginative, not hide behind spell powers their class shouldn't have. And again, no description. How about I point my sword at the Chieftain, and declare the spirits say he will die this day? The DM can improv an effect, if any, from there. Probably more of an intimidation situation, but you don't need Intimidation as a feat. Just do it. [/QUOTE]
