Convincing illusion and familiars question


Rules Discussion


Familiars can get two abilities I'm looking at for this combo

Independent to give it one action every round

Partner in crime so it can use it's action to prepare to aid my next deception check

Convincing illusion reaction let's me try to fool someone that my illusion they just disbelieved is actually.. Real, requires a deception check

Can my familiar spend it's action to prepare a aid reaction to my convincing illusion reaction to give it a +3 circumstance bonus on my check at level 7?


If you're a Master in Deception, seems legit

Looks legit to me. The action and reaction usage at least. The +3 is assuming that you are a Master rank in the Deception skill for Convincing Illusion. You would get a +2 if you are only Expert. And +4 when you become Legendary.

Note: partner in crime are automatic successes. In it, it only gives +1 on success unless you are master in deception (I will be at level 7)

But looks like 2 for 2 on it should work.

So...

This and the equivalent for Thievery or Performance seems like the strongest Familiar use to me.


yeah you can also use it for a free bonus to Feint each round, it's pretty good.


Note your familiar gets an automatic critical success, but does not itself have master proficiency so the bonus is probably only +2 once you're a master.
