Faking it 'til you make it - Glibness & Pageant of the Peacock

[ritesign]

Hi all,

I've found a lot of anecdotal evidence (various character builds by nobody of repute) that Glibness works to bolster the bardic masterpiece Pageant of the Peacock. However, Glibness states it only applies to "convince another of the truth of your words. This bonus doesn't apply to other uses of the Bluff skill, such as feinting in combat, creating a diversion to hide, or communicating a hidden message via innuendo."

Is there a hard answer to whether it works in this case?

Pageant of the Peacock to substitute bluff instead of an intelligence based skill is not a use to convince other people that you are telling the truth. Glibness would not apply.

Or... Or... you're convincing the universe itself of the truth of your words. Because the results of your Knowledge check, when using Bluff as a substitute, aren't "wrong"; they are true because you successfully bluffed reality.

By that logic it would work on feinting too. It doesn't.
