Rapscallion
Rapscallions are suave and cool, living life to its fullest, easily manipulating their way into the highest of societies, and occasionally the lowest of dungeons. Exceptionally charming individuals, rapscallions make their way through life however best they can; they are happy to woo an elderly widower, and claim her children’s inheritance before skipping town. Or they may simply use their guile and wit find their way to an invitation to the ball of the season, only to slip through the kitchen when nobody is looking, and pilfer some silver before exiting out the servant’s quarters. Not all rapscallions operate entirely illegally, many simply use their manipulative skills to convince others to give them what they want - living off the dime of a rich merchant who has surrounded himself with yes-men is not at all below the standards of rapscallion behavior.

Make a Charm vs Wits check against a nearby character; if successful, you are the sole focus of their attention, as they are totally infatuated with you for the next 5 minutes. They fail any check related to observing or noticing anything besides yourself unless they are physically affected by it. Further, you gain +1 to all Charm and Wits checks made against them at this time. You may not have more than one character so enraptured at once.
