Hypnosis – Compound Skill

The repetitive movement of a well-known trinket will put a target in highly suggestable state, allowing you to gain their perfect recollection of events or implant suggestions for future actions.

The difficulty of inducing hypnosis is based on the compliance of the subject. A willing subject knows they are being hypnotized, an enticed subject is willingly watching the action but does not know it is hypnotic and an unwilling subject knows it is hypnosis and is being subjected against their will by force or threat.

Unwilling subjects may also make will saves to counter any inquiry under hypnosis or to avoid taking a suggested action at a later point.
