New in SW5eNovel SW5e trick: a Charisma (Deception) bluff that lets you add your proficiency bonus to a non-proficient skill or tool check after a DC 15 roll; uses equal to your proficiency bonus and is regained on a short or long rest, and your Charisma increases by 1 (max 20).✨
When facing a skill or tool check you're not proficient in, pass a DC 15 Deception check to add your proficiency bonus to it anyway.

!The DC 15 Deception check is itself untouched by this feat — a low Charisma character will fail it often and waste the use.

You've spent years pretending you know what you're doing, gaining the following benefits:
- Increase your Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- When you would make an ability check with a skill or tool that doesn't add your proficiency bonus, you can first make a DC 15 Charisma (Deception) check. On a success, you can add your proficiency bonus to the initial ability check. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
