General Rules: Feats - Renowned Courtesan

Renowned Courtesan [Changeling]
You are a courtesan of legendary ability, the subject of many tales and ballads. You are a talented manipulator of other people’s emotions.
   Prerequisite: Changeling.
   Benefit: You can use the Diplomacy skill to produce the following effects:

• Change an NPCs attitude toward a person other than yourself. The DC is the same as if you were changing the character’s attitude toward you.
• Inspire love and devotion. If you successfully improve a character’s attitude toward you (only) to helpful, you can choose to cause that character to show romantic interest in you. The character thereafter seeks every opportunity to be near you and makes every effort to win your affection, within the bounds of relatively normal behavior.
• Inspire hope or despair. With a successful DC 25 Diplomacy check, you can cause a single target to be filled with hope or despair as if affected by the bless or bane spell. In the case of despair, the target can negate the effect with a successful Will saving throw (DC 10 + ½ your Diplomacy ranks + your Charisma modifier). Your caster level is equal to your Hit Dice. This is a mind-affecting extraordinary effect.

You can emulate a humanoid more closely with your minor change shape ability.
   Prerequisite: Changeling.
   Benefit: When you use your minor change shape ability to assume the form of a humanoid creature, you can also emulate any of that humanoid's subtypes. Though you do not gain any of the humanoid's traits, you are considered to be a member of that race for all other purposes (allowing you to use magic items or spells keyed to race, for example). You can also ignore the normal penalty on Disguise checks when disguising yourself as a different race (see the Disguise skill description, page 72 of the Player's Handbook). You can only emulate one race at a time, and you always retain the shapechanger subtype.
