1: Cats Don't Wear Shoes
You're a cat-sized cat, but are just as capable of speech and feats of dexterity as any human. Additionally, you're capable of shoving an unreasonable amount of goods down your backpack and into your shoes. You can get 6 ITEM SLOTS out of a cat-sized backpack, and have a base ITEM SLTOS of 4 so long as you have shoes. Without shoes, your ITEM SLOTS is 0.
1: Smooth Tongue
People will give you the benefit of the doubt in most situations. If you make a statement of fact (true or false) that seems suspect but the target cannot prove wrong, they believe you on a CHECK with no modifiers, TN 11.
If you deal damage to someone who thinks you are friendly, you deal 2d6 additional damage.
3: Cat's Paw
You gain a +4 to CHECKS to perform acts of sleight of hand or pickpocketry.
5: Well Trained
If someone catches you in a major lie, you gain +4 to your MOVE and DEFENSE stats for an hour.
7: I Killed An Ogre, You Know
Your Smooth Tongue CHECKs are now TN 6. Additionally any statement of fact you make that seems suspect - and the target can prove wrong - are believed on a successful CHECK with no modifiers TN 11. These blatant lies are only convincing for 1d6 minutes, after which the target will not believe blatant lies until you regain their trust.
You can also lie to objects and effects that you are something other than a cat using this effect. This is useful if a door can only be opened by the pure of heart, for example.
