FEATURES

Engaging Smile - Passive: PCs within Close range of the Sycophant must succeed on an Instinct Reaction Roll or become Vulnerable until they give the Sycophant a handful of gold or the Sycophant is no longer in the scene.

Have a Free Sample - Action: Target a PC within Close range who must make Presence Reaction Roll. On a failure, spend a Fear to move the Sycophant into Melee range and foist a vial on the PC, urging them to try it. The PC can do so or mark 3 Stress. The vial is harmless, but the PC has disadvantage on any future rolls they make against the Sycophant until the end of the scene. On a success, the PC marks a Stress.
