2 August, 2016Voddick stepped out of the way of the hurrying noble and scowled at the man’s back. “Using wizardry is cheating, you fop,” he grumbled.
“Compelling magic?” asked Gollaon before taking a bite of peach.
Voddick nodded. “All they have to do is ask and I’ll step aside, I have my manners . . . unlike them.”
Chain of Majesty
These chains are always highly visible if not positively ostentatious, gilded if not made of gold and ofttimes bearing coins and medals.

Once per day, thew wearer can cloak themselves in majesty, gaining a +2 enhancement bonus on all Charisma-based skill and any sentient being that attacks the wearer must make the same save as above of suffer a -4 morale penalty to their attacks,.
