For the purpose of proficiency, treat any of these selections that are martial weapons as simple weapons and any that are advanced weapons as martial weapons.

Prerequisites Chelaxian Scion Dedication

Eagerness: Invigorated by praise, the ally can Feint, Interact with a nearby object, Leap, Reload, or Step as a reaction.

Archetype Chelaxian Scion
Frequency once per minute
Prerequisites Chelaxian Scion Dedication; trained in Intimidation; expert in Will
Trigger You’re targeted by an emotion effect or effect that would give you the controlled condition.
Like the archdevil Dispater, you maintain an unshakable poise even under impossible stress. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to the triggering saving throw or to your Will DC against the triggering effect. If you critically succeed at the saving throw (or if the source of the effect critically fails its skill check, such as to Demoralize you), you gain temporary Hit Points equal to half your level until the end of the effect’s source’s next turn. If the effect originated from a creature, you can Demoralize that creature once as a free action on your next turn; if the creature was temporarily immune to your attempts to Demoralize it, it loses that immunity.
