Feat: Uncounted Step

 

Designed with Zigga's background, Radkos ring + Ravnica history, and the magical Mirror Melding slippers in mind: 

Level 5: The Show Stopper

Having embraced her past as a Screen Play Organizer and Noise Musician, Zigga treats reality as a stage where the rules are merely suggestions.

  • The Spotlight’s Favor: You gain advantage on Charisma (Performance) and Charisma (Persuasion) checks when acting as the center of attention or performing for a crowd. (4+ people min)
  • The Sour Note (Truth Seeking): Once per day, you can ask a single direct question to a creature. Because you can hear the "harmonic dissonance" in their soul, the creature is unable to speak a deliberate lie in their response.
  • Noise Cancellation: You can utilize your "Noise Musician" training to grant yourself and up to five allies advantage on Stealth checks for 10 minutes by weaving "background static" into the planar frequency.

Unlocks at Level 10: Exit Stage Left

You begin to master her ability to walk through the "margins" of a scene without being filed as present.

  • Uncounted Movement: Your movement does not trigger attacks of opportunity, and you can move through the space of any creature, regardless of size, as if you were "negative space".
  • Redact the Mark: If a creature attempts to place a magical "mark," "hex," or "tracking sigil" on you, you can use your reaction to "un-write" the event. The effect fails, and you become invisible to that creature until the end of your next turn.
  • Encore Performance: When you succeed on a Charisma-based skill check, you gain a "Motive Token." You can spend this token to add your Charisma modifier to a nearby ally's attack roll or saving throw as a "narrative nudge".

Unlocks at Level 15: The Grand Finale

You become a "Witness-That-Was-Not-Destroyed," capable of refusing the ending written for her by any cosmic script.

  • Refusal of Finality (1/day): Once per long rest, if an action would result in your death or a "terminal event" (such as being Mazed or Erased), you can take an Uncounted Step. You are instead ignored by the effect, appearing in an unoccupied space within 30 feet as if you had simply walked out of the scene. Now you can gtfo!
  • Narrative Vandalism (1/day): Once per day, you can "redact" a roll you can see. You treat the result as a natural 1 or a natural 20, forcing the "Play" of reality to adapt to your edit.
  • The Auditor’s Blind Spot: You are permanently immune to any spell or effect that attempts to read your thoughts, alignment, or "True Name," as the system returns a "Negative Space Entry".
