Bureaucracy
Bureaucracy(Priest or Rogue, 1)
Ability: Intelligence
Modifier: 0
This proficiency encompasses a working knowledge of governmental protocol and the skills necessary to navigate bureaucratic organizations. A character with this proficiency knows which official to approach and the best time to approach him. A tax collector’s aid may have better access to information than the tax collector himself; a city clerk may be less harried and more helpful at the beginning of the month than at the end. He knows where government records are kept and the procedures for examining them. He knows how to circumvent sluggish or uncooperative bureaucrats. He obtains permits and other government documents in half the normal time. No proficiency checks are needed for any of these functions. A character can also use Bureaucracy to turn the system against someone else. A successful proficiency check doubles the amount of time to make a government decision, causes a permit to be issued under the wrong name, or temporary misplace an important document. A paladin must be careful with this ability, to avoid breaking the law and violating his ethos. The bureaucracy proficiency covers the governmental organizations in a particular region, usually the character's homeland. He may spend additional slots to expand the proficiency to other regions. Official organizations include government councils, regulator boards, and church hierarchies. This proficiency is only effective when dealing with organizations of 10 or more members.
