;Perceived Honor:Requires: Int 13.
:Benefit: You may adopt the appearance and behavior of an honor rank one higher than your own.  While you maintain the appropriate code of behavior, all magical effects that effect or are dependent upon your honor rank use this new, higher rank, rather than your true rank.  You may choose to begin or end the effects of this feat as a free action on your turn.  You cannot emulate an honor rank higher than 4.  Artifacts or magical items with a caster level at least 5 levels higher than your character level are not fooled by this feat.

;Political Maneuvering:Requires: Diplomacy 10 ranks, Sense Motive 10 ranks.
:Benefit: As a standard action, you may make a Sense Motive check against a person to whom you are speaking (DC 15 + target's character level or Hit Dice).  If this check is successful, you determine how to make the target believe his or her current course of action is dishonorable.  You may then convince the target by making a successful Diplomacy check, resisted by the target's Sense Motive or Diplomacy check.  If you succeed, the target must change his or her attitude or actions as you determine, lose 5 points of honor, or be unable to act for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier.  Attacks by you or your allies against the target or his or her allies negate this effect.
