The contractor's noticeability increases, which makes sneaking around harder. However, they can easily play the role of a distraction or charm their way into possibly learning secrets or getting into private functions. The flashy smile puts those at ease.

For Troy, this means that people recognize him from his YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram. Maybe he gets approached by fans; young adults know of him (mostly in bigger cities with influencer crowds (like NYC or LA)); older persons, mostly those with kids, have heard of him or recognize his voice. His smile is charming, he has a trustworthy face, why would anyone assume he's a bad person?

Your Charisma rating is increased by 1. You may Exert your Mind to automatically gain an Outcome of 5 on any roll that uses Charisma (Cannot be used on combat rolls or Power activations).

  • A "social gathering" might include a birthday party, after-work drinks, a ski trip, or yoga in the park, among other things. It likely would not include a cult gathering to summon a demon, Congressional negotiations over a contentious bill, etc.
  • In rare cases, GMs may require you to make a roll to lie to particularly powerful beings.
  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.
