I spent a bit of time thinking about this as well. The simplest answer is anything that helps hold the audience's attention and focus on your performance. It could be something handheld - rattle, scepter, something with ribbons to help pull the audience back in. It could be a mantle of authority - something someone back in a crowd could see that would encourage them to pay attention. As an alternative, it could be a book or scroll of tips from a master orator on how to move an audience.

For my primary I'm picking up a lyre to help keep him calm.

With a sweep of his hat,

Paul

As long as the man realises what it means *before* they get on the ship that is sailing to the larder. :ugeek:

Denevir the Gladiator gets Last Year's Sicarite Championship Baldric, which adds to her Intimidation by being huge and shiny and studded in obviously fake gems. Allegedly it also causes the bearer's voice to carry further, but that could be because they feel more inclined to posture and bellow and perhaps tear off their tunic in a display of raw might.

Vaize the Templar of Belisarda gets the Deep Water Sutras. These many verses dedicated to the contemplation of Belisarda induce a shallow hypnotic state that grant them who memorize them a bonus to Theurgy (Belisarda) as their mind becomes more open to the inherent sublimity of Her.

D'serrat Val'Mordane gets a pouch of Milandesian Rum. A shot of courage, a taste of the homeland, clear the road's dust from her throat -just enough to loosen her up and put fire in her guts, and grant a bonus to Mettle.
That is one advantage the living will never surrender to the dead: courage.

Alas, combat and arcanum skills are excluded. Only one of your PCs is going to be happy with their purchase as is. :x

I'm going to get a beautiful cloak brooch that makes people more open to speak to me. +2 Empathy.

Either that or glasses, +2 Perception.
