Bard: Peerless Skills

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:

Intimidation: Fear Monger

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

If you speak to a humanoid alone for at least 1 minute, you can attempt to magically seed paranoia in its mind. At the end of the conversation, the target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you or another creature of your choice. The target is frightened in this way for 1 hour, until it is attacked or damaged, or until it witnesses its allies being attacked or damaged. For the duration, the creature will do all it can to stay out of the way of the source of its fear. If the target succeeds on its saving throw, the target has no hint that you tried to frighten it.
