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:

Performance: Inspiring

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

If you perform for at least 1 minute, you can attempt to magically inspire wonder in onlookers by singing, reciting a poem, or speaking. Choose a number of humanoids within 60 feet of you who watched and listened to all of it, 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, the target idolises you, it speaks glowingly of you to anyone who talks to it, and assists you to the best of its abilities, although it avoids violence 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.
