Artful Dirge

Feat 1

Like the great requiem dragons whose lairs float along the River of Souls, you strive for a diplomatic answer whenever possible and your dirge harmonizes with other souls. When speaking of life and death, you can use Undead Lore in place of Diplomacy to Make an Impression or a Request, even if there is no undead present. If you are an expert in Diplomacy, you gain a +1 circumstance bonus to these checks; if you are a master in Diplomacy, this increases to +2, and +3 if you are legendary.
Calling on your dirge, you can use Undead Lore in place of Performance to Perform. When you do, the Perform action gains the magical trait, and you can center the performance on any thrall.
