Check: Bluff checks occur in conversation in NWN2, usually against a set DC in order to be successful and make the person believe what you are saying (usually the more implausible or outrageous the claim - or the wiser the person you are lying to is - the higher the DC will be). The skill can also be used in combination with feint to mislead your opponent, allowing you to catch them flat-footed.

Special: The master of a spider familiar gains a +3 bonus on bluff checks; Rangers receive +1/five levels to Bluff checks against their favored enemy; Tieflings and half-elves receive +2 racial bonuses to their bluff checks.

Use: Selected (Conversation and Combat)
