Skill: Deception

Deception is the act of lying, using, or knowing about subterfuge on a social level. Those that specialize in Deception understand its necessary influence for aiding others, or helping oneself. Unlike Diplomacy and Intimidation, Deceiving can go farther and do more...with the right tools and mindset .

Mechanically, Deception will be the primary skill called for when a creature is trying to mislead or counter misleading. While traditionally used exclusively by the charismatic, in CHASE it has multiple facets that fall under it's umbrella. While many physical acts will use Stealth or Sleight-of-Hand; Deception offers a mix of both with charismatic overtones, and influences from subjects like Thievery and other Streetwise smarts.

Deception uses DEX / Dexterity or CHA / Charisma by default. Deception is a Primary Skill, meaning it is a major skill that can only be gained by mechanics that grant proficiency.

Skill Talents available by Deception proficiency

These Talents can be gained during Character Progression or other means (such as gaining it from a Background, Increasing your Intelligence attribute, gaining the Expert Talent Gain class feature, etc). Like all Talents, these are meant to be good at your character level, often scaling with you.
