Feats: B (Part 5 of 6)

Whenever an enemy starts its turn adjacent to you, it must attempt a Will saving throw against your class DC or spell DC, whichever is highest. On a Failure, the enemy takes a –single gate status penalty to attack rolls and skill checks for as long as it remains adjacent to you. Regardless of the result of its save, the creature is then temporarily immune to bonekeeper's bane for 24 hours.

Prerequisites offensive boost

You aren't satisfied with keeping to just one kind of boost from your constant tinkering, so you've learned to modulate between several possibilities at once. Choose two additional offensive boosts (page 22). You can use an Interact action to change the offensive boost currently affecting your weapon, choosing between the one you chose for the class feature and the two you chose for this modification. If your weapon has the modular trait, you can swap the offensive boost as part of the Interact action you take to use that trait.

Prerequisites Alter Ego Dedication

Knowing how someone thinks makes it much easier to know where they'll be, or even replace them altogether. You can cast mind probe as an innate occult spell once per day, using your class DC or spell DC, whichever is higher.

If you cast mind probe on a target you're studying for the purpose of Assuming their Role, and the target fails their save, you can delay the spell from coming into effect until you Assume their Role. When you use the spell this way, you can Sustain it up to 10 times during its duration, asking a question each time. The spell lasts until you ask all 10 questions or are no longer Assuming the Role, whichever comes first. You don't need to Sustain the Spell to extend its duration—only when asking a question—nor do you need to be in range or have line of effect to Sustain it.

Prerequisites Rock Runner

Your dwarven build allows you to push foes around, just like a mighty boulder tumbles through a subterranean cavern. Take a Step into the square of a foe that is your size or smaller, and the foe must move into the empty space directly behind it. The foe must move even if doing so places it in harm's way. The foe can attempt a Fortitude saving throw against your Athletics DC to block your Step. If the foe attempts this saving throw, unless it critically succeeds, it takes bludgeoning damage equal to your level plus your Strength modifier.

If the foe can't move into an empty space (if it is surrounded by solid objects or other creatures, for example), your Boulder Roll has no effect.
