You fire off cruel and spiteful remarks to distract the target. Mothers, appearances and performance are all easy pickings.

When a creature that you can see within 60 ft of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a damage roll you may spend and roll a Raconteur Inspiration die as a reaction and subtract the amount rolled from the creature's roll. You may choose to use this feature after the roll, but not after the DM has resolved the roll (hit, miss, damage dealt etc). The creature is immune to this feature if it can't hear you, or is immune to being charmed.

A creature that has a Raconteur's Inspiration die from you can roll that die and add the number rolled to a Weapon Damage Roll it just made.

Alternatively, when an attack roll is made against the creature, it can use it's reaction to roll the Raconteur Inspiration die and add the number rolled to it's AC against that attack, after seeing the roll but before knowing hit or miss.

Your search for great stories has lead you to some interesting paths, places and people, you have found some documents that weren't intended for you, but you make use of them just the same.

You learn two spells of your choice from any class.

A spell you choose must be of level that you are able to cast, or a cantrip. The chosen spell counts as a Raconteur spell but does not count against the total known number of Raconteur spells.

You sit and tell the grandest of stories with the most passion, furiously accurate and holding back nothing for the narrative. Incense swaths around the participants inoculating all with visions of the epic.

Over 10 minutes with one other, you drain your Intellect and your Charisma. You take -2 to both.

From telling of the story, it empowers you and your audience, granting +2 to Either Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom or Constitution for up to 1 Hour, depending on the story told (participating gain +2 to the chosen attribute by the Raconteur).

You may spend 10 minutes for each additional person you want to tell the story, all must wait until the story is finished listening intently, up to a maximum of 1 hour, resulting in 7 people.

The spell costs 100 gold of Fine Arylether Incense and Tobacco, costing 50 gold for each additional 10 minutes / person.

The Raconteur regains the Intellect and Charisma after a Short Rest. This feature may be used once per Long Rest.
