Academic Politics Specialist

When it comes to wining and dining or other social situations, the avuncular professor is an 8th-level challenge.

Duelist of Wits

The avuncular professor may cultivate the appearance of an unworldly academic, but they know how to stick the rhetorical knife in. Once per hour, if the avuncular professor succeeds at a Deception or Diplomacy check, they can choose to roll a Society or Academia Lore check at the same DC—if they succeed on the second check, the initial success is upgraded to a critical success, though if they fail the second check, their initial success also turns into a failure.
