I've left out some details on the non-OGL (WoTC) feats so you will still need to own the necessary WoTC book (or DUNGEON magazine issue #90-91) and I (hopefully) don't step on anyone's Intellectual Property toes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Arcane Training [Social][Created by Kaptain Kantrip]You have been tutored in the minor ways of magic.     Prerequisite: Intelligence 10+     Benefit: You know and can cast per day a numberof arcane cantrips equal to 2 + your Intelligence modifier. You are considered to be a 1st-level wizardfor purposes of determining your caster level.Assets [Social][Adapted from Fading Suns d20]You rule a fief or business, providing you with annualincome.     Prerequisites: Noble Title, Church Ordination orGuild Commission.     Benefit: You have real wealth, as opposed tomere savings or wages: land rulership or control of abusiness. This asset provides you with regular incomeand is usually tied to your rank and affiliation. Youdon’t actually own the land or business--your church,guild or house does--but through birthright, luck, orhard work, you have gained control over it and thusreap its benefits (and suffer its responsibilities). Youcannot sell the business or land, but may abdicateyour position or temporarily place someone else incharge; during this time, you do not gain the incomeassociated with the asset.     This feat provides you with an income andresponsibilities. Each time you take this feat(maximum of five times), it increases the amount ofyour income. The money is listed in gold pieces: thisis how much the asset brings you in yearly incomeafter paying expenses, barring no disasters ordramatic changes in circumstance for good or ill. Italso provides a small amount of extra starting money.     1st feat = Good Assets (3,000 gp yearly income,plus 300 gp extra starting money)     2nd feat = Well-Off (5,000 gp yearly income, plus500 gp extra starting money)     3rd feat = Wealthy (10,000 gp yearly income, plus1,000 gp extra starting income)     4th feat = Rich (15,000 gp yearly income, plus1,500 gp extra starting income)     5th feat = Filthy Rich (20,000 gp yearly income,plus 2,000 gp extra starting money)     Business: Guild-owned assets include allguild-related businesses in a given area.

Misuse of the land requires you to answer tothose above your station and may result in a loss ofrank.

Sure, you’ve avoided jailtime, but Diplomatic Immunity is not an excuse toopen up a can of worms on your enemies and getaway scot-free.Enthrall [Social][Adapted from Fading Suns d20]Your singing, orating or performing fascinates others,distracting them from other concerns.     Prerequisite: Perform skill 6+.     Benefit: Those NPCs listening to and watchingyou within 90 ft. may become completely enthralledby your performance, ignoring all else exceptlife-threatening combat going on around them.     Make a Perform check.

Youcannot undo the mistake, but you can erase the socialstigma from whoever committed the error.     Etiquette may also be used to counter theWithering Insulkt feat directed at you by others. Youmake a Will save and if it is higher than the target’ssave, he uses yours instead. If the insult is directed atyou, add +2 to the Will save result.     If someone is intentionally trying to cause a socialincident, make opposed Diplomacy checks with allrelevant modifiers. Those with Etiquette gain a +2bonus for this check.     You can use your Etiquette a number of times perday equal to your Charisma modifier.Fame [Social][Adapted from Star Wars d20/Shadowchasers d20]You are well-known for charitable acts or heroicdeeds (regardless of whether you actually performedthem).     Special: You can’t select both Fame and Infamy.Family Ties [Social][Adapted from Fading Suns d20]You have strong ties to your blood kin, such that theywould delay important tasks to come to your aid.     Benefit: You can draw upon some loyal allies ofsimilar status to yourself. Of course, this cuts bothways--if someone kills your father, you will beobligated to hunt down the killer no matter the time,cost or risk involved.     To gain your family’s aid, you must address amember personally or get a message to them. TheGM then makes a Family Ties check. To the rollresult, he adds 10 + your Charisma modifier + anymodifiers based on the situation. If you have recentlydone a favor for your family, you may add a +2 bonusto the check. If you recently risked your life for them,you may add a +5 bonus on the check (GM’sdiscretion).     The DC depends on the type of aid requested.Asking to vacation at a relative’s house might be DC10-15, depending on how much he owes your side ofthe family. Requesting your brothers and sisters tomeet you in Cady’s Hollow with guns for a kidnightraid on your rivals might be 15 if it’s an ongoing feudinvolving them too, or DC 20 if not. Asking them tohelp kidnap a local lord and hold him for ransommight be DC 30-35, and could get you disowned if itfailed.     Your family may not have the high status or powerthat the Ally feat provides, but they are more loyaland persistent.     A request may be attempted from your family onlyonce per game month. Two successive months of suchrequests cause the DC to rise for each successiveattempt. Should the DC ever rise as high as 40, thefamily will no longer heed your requests--you are anungrateful, whining black sheep for the next gameyear. However, you can perform favors to try andreturn the DC to normal.     Special: This feat may be taken multiple times.The effects stack to raise the status of the family (orinvolve high-level family members who could not bebothered with you at lower levels).</blockquote>
