Tarot Reading (Su)

By spending 10 minutes performing a tarot reading, a traveller may affect her allies as if she had performed inspire courage as a bard of her traveller level. The reading’s effects last for 10 minutes. The traveller must spend 4 rounds of bardic performance for each creature to be affected. At 3rd level, the traveller may instead affect her allies as if she had performed inspire competence as a bard of her traveller level. At 7th level, performing a tarot reading requires 5 minutes instead of 10. At 9th level, the traveller may instead affect her allies as if she had performed inspire greatness as a bard of her traveller level. At 13th level, performing a tarot reading requires 1 minute instead of 5. Lastly, at 15th level, the traveller may instead affect her allies as if she had performed inspire heroics as a bard of her traveller level.

This ability replaces inspire courage, inspire competence, inspire greatness, and inspire heroics.

Gladhanding (Ex)

A traveller earns double the normal amount of money from Perform checks. As a standard action, she may use a Bluff check in place of a Diplomacy check to improve a creature’s attitude for 1 minute, after which its attitude becomes one step worse than originally. This ability replaces countersong.

Streetwise Magpie (Ex)

Don’t let a traveller’s colorful dress and lack of etiquette fool you. Travellers can easily blend into any crowd with a simple change of clothes, a change of language, and a change of manners. All travellers gain Traveller as a bonus language. In addition, a traveller gains a bonus equal to half her level on Bluff, Disguise, Knowledge (local), and Sleight of Hand checks, Diplomacy or Intimidate checks made to influence crowds, and Diplomacy checks to gather information (minimum +1).

This ability replaces bardic knowledge.

Gypsy Prank (Ex)

There is no such thing as a “fair fight” with a traveller as they will employ any stratagem to win a conflict, inflicting low blows and sucker punches with verve and joy. Starting at 2nd level, a traveller selects either Perform (act), Perform (comedy), or Perform (dance). She may use her bonus in the chosen Perform skill in place of her combat maneuver bonus when performing a disarm, dirty trick, or steal combat maneuver. When substituting in this way, the traveller uses her total Perform skill bonus, including class skill bonus, in place of her combat maneuver bonus. If the traveller gains bonuses on combat maneuver checks from any feats, spells, magic items, or similar effects, they are added to the Perform bonus when using the appropriate combat maneuver.

This ability replaces versatile performance.

Gypsy Intuition (Su)

At 2nd level, once per day as an immediate action, a traveller may receive a glimpse of the immediate future and predict the results of a specific action as if she had cast an augury spell. The caster level of this spell is equal to the traveller’s bard class level.

This ability replaces well-versed.

Quick Change (Ex)

At 5th level, a traveller can don a disguise as a standard action by taking a –5 penalty on her check. She can take 10 on Bluff and Disguise checks and use Bluff to create a diversion to hide as a swift action. She can take 20 on a Bluff or Disguise check once per day, plus one time per six levels beyond 5th.

This ability replaces lore master.
