The Ambassador scout is skilled at initiating peaceful negotiations. She may add a skill bonus equal to her tier on all Persuassion skill checks.
Diplomatic Immunity
If the Ambassador is arrested for a crime, she can make a Persuassion check to invoke her diplomatic credentials and not suffer the usual legal penalty or punishment. The severity of the crime determines the DC of the Persuassion check, and how authorities react if the Ambassador succeeds. See Table: Diplomatic Immunity Check DCs based on the severity of the crime.
If one of the Ambassador’s consuls (see the select consul class feature, below) is arrested for a crime and unable to secure her own release, the Ambassador may intercede on the consul’s behalf. One may aid the other’s Persuassion check.
An Ambassador who routinely invokes the privilege of diplomatic immunity—either on her own behalf or to protect her selected consuls—is likely to be recalled or terminated by those she has sworn to represent.
