Prerequisites member of the Pathfinder Society, Pathfinder Agent Dedication

Look, the motto of the Pathfinder Society is "explore, report, cooperate" and you're just reporting what you hear! Is all of it accurate or true? Maybe not, but hey, you can tell a great story and you know how to keep your readers hooked and eating out of the palm of your hand. Ambrus Valsin of the Grand Lodge may disapprove of your methods, but hey, he's not your real boss.

Eando isn't either.

We'll go with Zarta.

Wait, no, Sheila. Sheila appreciates a good gossip column. You're now from Magnimar. Always have been.

You have two identities: your day job as a Pathfinder agent, and your real job, one of the many voices that make up the Venture-Gossip tabloid. If someone attempts to figure out if you're a venture-gossip, they must use a Seek action to attempt a Perception check against one of your influence skills of your choice: Deception, Diplomacy, or Intimidation. Your DC is 20 + your proficiency modifier.

If you are discovered to be part of Venture-Gossip, you can spend 1 week of downtime convincing others that you've never even read that tabloid, much less contributed to it!

You gain the following action, allowing you to collect more information for your column.

Tell Me More

Venture-Gossip is not only the name of a beloved agent of the Pathfinder Society who has dedicated herself to bringing all of the lurid, gruesome stories to Absalom's streets—it's also the name of a popular tabloid newsletter that appears across Golarion, primarily wherever there's a Pathfinder Society lodge. There isn't just one venture-gossip: there are hundreds. Hundreds of Pathfinders with loads of stories and rumors that they collect and then forward along to the Ink Worker's United Printing Press, a unionized printing press based out of Absalom. Formally, only one name is associated with Venture-Gossip: Agent Kitsch of the Office of Supplies and Procurement. However, no one truly believes that she's behind any of this, as the older ysoki is known to misplace just about everything, from poison flasks to important cursed artifacts.
