Actor

Skilled at mimicry and dramatics, you gain the following benefits:

Benefits

• Charisma Increase: Increase your Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• Mimicry: You can mimic the speech of another person or the sounds made by other creatures. You must have heard the person speaking, or heard the creature make the sound, for at least 1 minute. A successful Wisdom (Insight) check contested by your Charisma (Deception) check allows a listener to determine that the effect is faked.
• Disguise Advantage: You have advantage on Charisma (Deception) and Charisma (Performance) checks when trying to pass yourself off as a different person.

Analysis

Actor is excellent for social infiltration campaigns. The mimicry ability allows you to impersonate voices, which combines well with disguises or illusion magic. The advantage on Deception checks for impersonation significantly improves your chances of maintaining a false identity.

Best For

• Rogues: Especially Masterminds and Assassins
• Bards: Enhances their already strong social capabilities
• Warlocks: Face characters with Mask of Many Faces invocation
• Anyone: In intrigue-heavy campaigns
