Steely Mien Options

At 2nd level, you can choose one of the following options for your Steely Mien feature.

Dogged Persistence

You are known as being particularly tenacious, even in social settings. When you make a Deception or Persuasion check, you can redouble your efforts and gain an expertise die on the roll. Once you have used this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

Emboldening Speaker

Your morale-boosting speeches have become well-known and people find themselves paying rapt attention to your words. You gain proficiency in the Performance skill. Whenever you use Performance to give an impassioned speech in a settlement, even on a failed check (except for a critical failure) you attract a crowd of people no smaller than your maneuver DC. Their ultimate response depends on the result of your check, but they are responsive to your message and do not become hostile towards you and your cause except on a critical failure, at the Narrator’s discretion.

Impressive Athlete

It’s hard to deny the beauty of your form as you perform acts of physical prowess. You gain an expertise die on Intimidation and Persuasion checks made to influence creatures that witnessed you succeed on an Acrobatics or Athletics check with a DC of at least 12 within the last 10 minutes.
