Spheres of Guile
$24.99

Equally as versatile as a bard, the thespian brings the theater to the bard’s repertoire. A master of all aspects of performance, the thespian shirks the magical nature of their performances in favor of the mundane, yet makes up for it with their sheer charisma and personality.

Trade Tradition

If this is this character’s first level in any class, the thespian may select a trade tradition of their choice, and have an adroit trade rank.

This replaces the bard’s normal class skills.

Skill Expertise (Ex)

The thespian is a Trained operative, gaining skill spheres and talents as described in Using Spheres of Guile.

This replaces bardic performance.

Versatile Entertainer (Ex)

At 1st level, the thespian gains the Performance sphere as a bonus skill sphere.

Starting at 5th level, the thespian gains an additional Performance sphere talent from a package that he already has. The thespian can replace this talent whenever he gets a full 8 hours of rest but cannot be used to meet prerequisites. The thespian gains another such Performance talent at 10th level and every five levels thereafter. These talents can also be replaced at the same time.

This replaces bardic knowledge.

Silver Tongue (Ex)

At 5th level, the thespian is a master of charm and wit. This functions as the lore master ability, but its effects apply to any Charisma-based skill checks other than Use Magic Device instead of Knowledge skill checks. Anything that normally interacts with lore master works with silver tongue instead.

This alters the lore master feature.
