At 3rd level, the senator may appoint a number of individuals
equal to her Senator level as “aides,” These appointed individuals can be NPCs or fellow party members, and while they retain the status of Senatorial Aide,
they gain the Diplomatic Immunity feat as well as the ability to use the senator’s Famous Defect bonus when making Bluff, Diplomacy, or Gather Information checks when the target knows the character is a Senatorial Aide.
