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:

Deception: Rumour Monger

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

When you spend at least 1 minute in a crowd of people, you can magically spread a rumour in the crowd. Choose a number of humanoids part of the crowd, up to a number equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). Each target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed saving throw, a target is magically convinced of the truth value of a rumour you planted in the crowd.

This ability doesn’t necessarily affect how a creature behaves, particularly if the rumour contradicts the creature’s natural inclinations, alignment, or beliefs. This could be used to create opportunities for further social interaction but usually will not cause the affected humanoid to change their behaviour (e.g. this won’t suddenly cause the humanoid to attempt a murder).

The magic fades after a number of days equal to you Charisma modifier.
