The art of the pratfall is to make the dive to the floor spectacular, and nothing impresses like taking somebody down with you.

Sometimes putting on a friendly face and sidling up to an enemy thirsting for your blood is just unexpected enough to work.

Make a Deception check opposed by the Insight check of a creature able to see you. On a success, until the end of your next turn the creature treats you as an ally (instead of an enemy) for the purposes of traits and other effects. The creature can still target you with attacks, and the effects of this combat maneuver end early if you damage it.

Inversion is at the heart of humor, and nothing upends a no-holdsbarred fight faster than a solid joke.

A good warrior is ready for anything, but even the most experienced opponents don’t expect to receive a gift.

Make a Persuasion or nonmusical Performance check opposed by the Insight check of a creature within reach. On a success, as long as the creature has a free hand and is able to understand you, it takes the object you offer to it. On a success by 5 or more, the creature does not need to be able to understand you

The extremely rapid delivery of food can be not only hilariously satisfying, but also give a warrior an edge in combat.

Just the right amount of lightness to a warrior’s step can frustrate an opponent and make them easy to trick.

Even a well-told lie of being harmless only works if you’re really believing it when you tell it—and in the midst of a pitched fight it’s easy to muster some real feeling to briefly fool a foe.
