At 5th level, you can choose one of the following skills that you are proficient with: Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Performance, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth.

Once between long rests you can forgo rolling the chosen skill and automatically succeed on the roll instead (as described for each peerless skill). You also gain an additional magical ability depending on the skill you have chosen.

You can change your chosen skill for another skill you are proficient in from the list whenever you gain a level in this class.

Peerless Skill Options:

Animal Handling: Pied Whisperer

Once between long rests, you can automatically succeed on an ability check using Animal Handling instead of rolling.

If you spend at least 1 minute magically enthralling animals with your performance, you can attempt to gain subtle control over them. Choose a number of beasts within 60 feet of you who watched and listened your performance, up to a number equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). Each target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you. While charmed in this way, you can make the beast follow simple commands such as ‘follow’, ‘stand still’, or ‘beckon’ as if it could understand you. The creature won’t fight for you unless it was already inclined to fight on your behalf.

This effect ends on a target when you use this ability again, if it takes any damage, if you attack it, or if it witnesses you attacking or damaging any of its allies.
