Sway Audience (3.5e Feat)

Sway Audience [Divine]

With this feat, you may channel positive or negative energy in your speech to convince an audience.

Prerequisite: Diplomacy 8 ranks, Rebuke Undead

Benefit: If you gather an audience and hold a speech to them, hold up your holy symbol and make a turning check. Mechanically, this is resolved as a turning check against the HD or character levels of your audience. All affected listeners are put under an effect that works like a Suggestion spell, cast as a divine spell. Use your cleric level to determine the strength of the effect. Affected persons are allowed a will save against 10 + half your cleric level + Charisma bonus. Members of the audience that would be destroyed instead of turned by Turn Undead are affected without receiving a save. If you talk to your audience for at least 5 minutes prior to making the using this power, you receive a +2 circumstance bonus to the Turning check.

Special: You may only suggest actions that are in line with your deities teachings. A cleric of Chauntea for example could suggest to start the harvest or to protect the village, but not to burn the granary. The latter would automaticly fail at the DM's discretion.
