Envoy | Stamina Points 6 + Constitution Modifier |
6 HP |
You make your way in the universe with a charming smile, quick wit, and keen sense of self-preservation, and excel at getting others to do what you want. You might be a trickster, hustler, or con artist, or you might serve as an actor, ambassador, or businessperson, paving the way for negotiation through kind words or the occasional dirty trick. You are often the group’s strategist, using your quick wit and tactical acumen to push your friends to greater heights. You may also be skilled in diplomacy, serving as the face for a starship crew, talking your way into restricted systems or gaining audiences with local politicians or warlords.
Your Charisma helps you succeed in many social situations and makes a number of your improvisations more effective, so Charisma is your key ability score. A high Dexterity score can make you a better ranged combatant, while a high Intelligence score improves all of your skills.

As you gain experience, you learn envoy improvisations—little tricks that
bolster allies, confound enemies, or change the ebb and flow of battle using
guile, inspiration, or luck. You learn your first envoy improvisation at 1st
level, and you learn an additional improvisation at 2nd level and every 2 levels
thereafter.
The
list of envoy improvisations appear here.
If an improvisation allows
you to grant an effect to an ally, you cannot grant yourself that effect unless
the improvisation states otherwise. If an envoy improvisation allows a saving
throw to resist its effects or requires an enemy to attempt a skill check, the
DC is equal to 10 + half your envoy level + your Charisma modifier.
Some
envoy improvisations are language-dependent, mindaffecting, sense-dependent,
or some combination of any or all of these. These terms are defined on page
270.
You are an expert at dealing with challenges that test your skills, be the
challenges social or otherwise. At 1st level, when attempting a Sense Motive
check, you can roll 1d6 (your expertise die) and add the result of the roll
to your check as an insight bonus. You can use this and other expertise abilities
as long as you have at least 1 Resolve Point remaining. At 5th level, anytime
you roll your expertise die, you gain a +1 bonus to the result. At 9th, 17th,
and 20th levels, this bonus increases by 1. At 13th level, you roll 1d8 as your
expertise die instead of 1d6.
Beginning at 9th level, you have even greater
expertise with skills to which you can add your expertise die that you have
also selected with the Skill Focus feat. For each such skill, once per day when
rolling your expertise die to add to that skill, you may roll the expertise
die twice and take the better of the two results.
At 1st level and every 4 levels thereafter, you can use expertise with one additional class skill. You must have at least 1 rank in a skill to select it, and it must come from the following list: Bluff (Cha), Computers (Int), Culture (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Disguise (Cha), Engineering (Int), Intimidate (Cha), and Medicine (Int).
At 3rd level and every 4 levels thereafter, you choose an expertise talent, which gives you an extra option when using a skill with which you have expertise. The list of expertise talents appear here.
You gain Weapon Specialization as a bonus feat for each weapon type this class grants you proficiency with.
You gain total mastery over one of your envoy improvisations and can use
it with but a thought. When you gain this ability, choose one improvisation
you know that has an effect when you spend 1 Resolve Point.
As long as you
have at least 1 Resolve Point remaining, you can gain the improvisation’s effect
without spending the Resolve Point. This ability has no benefit if the improvisation
requires more than 1 Resolve Point.
In addition, when you roll your expertise
die, you can add 2d8 rather than 1d8+4 to the result of your skill check. If,
for some reason, your bonus gained from expertise isn’t 1d8+4, you can’t use
this option.
