The Exchange

This seemingly innocuous little trait from Cheliax, Empire of Devils provides a +4 trait bonus on Bluff checks to keep others from noticing my aggressive actions.

Does this include Bluff checks to feint in combat? Because that's an aggressive action that I don't really want my target to notice.

"I'm not stabbing you in the kidney, I am merely wiping some crumbs from your sleeve...WITH MY GREATAXE!"


Interesting question. I'd say no, because the guy is not really an "other". You want him to notice your aggressive action very soon (when your weapon erupts from his chest, skewering some important-looking piece of organics on its tip).

It's more a "we're just talking over here" kind of situation you want this trait to be used in.

"Hm... where is all this blood from? Wait, I thought you were just talking to me, but you've been stabbing me to death for the past two minutes, having you"? is more for the Monthy Python RPG.

I let one of my players use this to bluff BEFORE attacking to get a surprse round every once in a while, but never during a combat.
