Captivator Dedication Feat 2

Source Pathfinder Impossible Magic
Prerequisites Charisma +2, trained in Deception or Diplomacy

Your ability to captivate others borders on the preternatural. You're seldom at a loss in social situations, and you can create minor charms or illusions. Choose Deception or Diplomacy. You become trained in that skill or become an expert if you were already trained.

Choose two cantrips from the occult list. Each cantrip must have the illusion trait, mental trait, or both. You can cast these spells as innate occult spells.

Others find you inherently fascinating. You possess a facility with words that draws others in, and you've always found it easy to sway others to your point of view. This ability has grown to the point where you're capable of innate magic. You can bend others' wills to your own by weaving enchantments and distracting with illusions. Perhaps this comes from a touch of fey or draconic blood in your family's distant past, or perhaps it's the work of some special boon or curse placed on you. Your abilities might have grown over time or manifested more fully after some specific event, but they've likely always been a part of you. As a captivator, you're a potent blend of insight and personal magnetism. This is nothing like mere physical beauty but instead a blend of traits that makes others want to listen to what you have to say.

Captivators come from all areas of the world and all walks of life. A farm boy with the right gifts who's sent to the market every week to hawk his garden's bounty might find himself on the path to becoming a captivator. An urchin, who must extract sympathy from others simply to survive, might become a captivator out of necessity, and a noble, born into a deadly game of luxury and influence, might find themself forced onto the path. Regardless of their background, most captivators use their abilities to advance their station in life, make things easier for themselves, and befriend those who can help them achieve their goals.

Virtuous captivators use their gifts to bring people together. They might talk the would-be tavern brawler into sharing drinks and stories. They might offer encouragement to those facing depression or doubt. They excel in ending conflict as peacefully and efficiently as possible and leave almost everyone around them happier. When faced with violence, they use their magic to quickly subdue or enthrall enemies and minimize harm to their companions.

Wicked captivators manipulate others to achieve status, wealth, and power. They've no qualms about deceiving anyone or using their magic to cause harm, so long as they get what they want. These captivators are dangerous foes who often seem like friends, tricksters whose charms and illusions make sure they appear neither important nor dangerous. The slick politician, the devious con artist, the cunning courtier—these are all roles that an evil captivator can easily assume.
