You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.Noble, Position of Privilege: Thanks to your noble birth, people are inclined to think the best of you. You are welcome in high society, and people assume you have the right to be wherever you are. The common folk make every effort to accommodate you and avoid your displeasure, and other people of high birth treat you as a member of the same social sphere. You can secure an audience with a local noble if you need to.Both abilities seem to me to have the same basic presentation and syntax. Both use the same verb of permission - can, in both cases addressed to the player as "you".It could be argued that the "you" in Cunning Action addresses the player - who is the one who takes turns, declares actions etc - whereas the "you" in Position of Privilege addresses the character - who is the one who secures audiences with nobles. But I don't think that would change anything, as the player is presumably the one who decides whether or not their character needs to secure an audience (that being an issue of character desire) and hence is the one who establishes that preliminary bit of fiction which then renders the character able to secure the audience they need.</blockquote>
