Persistent Lies

Any creature deceived by the despot's Deception skill believes the deception more readily on the next day. Any later Perception checks attempted against the despot's Deception DC take a –2 circumstance penalty, as do other creatures' attempts to convince the creature otherwise, such as through Diplomacy or further Deception.

Sorcerous Potency

When the despot Casts a Spell from a spell slot that deals damage, they gain a status bonus to the spell's initial damage equal to the spell's rank.

Tongue of Flame

When the despot casts Charm, Diabolic Edict, Enthrall, or Floating Flame, either a target takes 1 fire damage per spell rank, or the despot gains a +2 status bonus to Deception checks for 1 round.
