Diplomat

Level1

Your specialization grants the Skill Focus feat in your specialization's associated skills, and you gain a free rank in each of those skills at each operative level.

Culture and Diplomacy. You can attempt a Diplomacy check with a +5 bonus to make a trick attack against a foe by calming or tricking them into thinking you’re not a threat. Each time you use Diplomacy to make a trick attack, this bonus decreases by 1d4 (minimum +0) until the end of the encounter.

When you succeed at a Bluff check to lie, a Diplomacy check to change a creature’s attitude, or an Intimidate check to bully a creature, you can so deeply impact one of the affected creatures that it repeats your action against one of its allies as soon as it reasonably can, using your skill check modifier. If you lied, the creature conveys the lie sincerely. If you changed the creature’s attitude, that creature tries to change its ally’s attitude toward you. If you bullied the creature, it bullies its ally into helping perform the same task. If you spend 1 Resolve Point when using this exploit, the creature instead repeats the action against a number of allies that doesn’t exceed your key ability score modifier. Affected creatures want to repeat your action, but aren’t compelled to do so; if they encounter significant obstacles while seeking out allies, it might detour or even abandon the task.

You become so confident in certain skills that you can use them reliably even under adverse conditions. When attempting a skill check with a skill in which you have the Skill Focus feat, you can take 10 even if stress or distractions would normally prevent you from doing so.

At 11th level, when you exceed the DC of a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a creature by 5 or more, you can improve their attitude by one additional step.
