Unlimited Access
At 2nd level, the personality can find their way into public situations that other’s would be outright denied. A sold out club suddenly has a ticket for you, a booked flight suddenly has a seat, or an out of stock item becomes available. This won’t allow the personality into exclusive clubs, high society, or access to secure locations they don’t have the permission to.
When the Personality purchases a service, they can make a Charisma (Persuasion) check to try to upgrade it without paying the difference. A hotel room becomes a suite, economy becomes first class, and concert tickets become backstage passes.

Presence
At 3rd level, the personalities presence and their way with words allows them to catch people off guard.

The Personality and their allies all gain a surprise round even if the enemies are aware of their intention.
Fast Talk
At 3rd level, the Personality has an almost super natural ability to weaken the resolve of others and inspire them to trust the Personality. Once per short rest the Personality can try to convince a target they’re a trusted friend. The target must not be in combat with the Personality or any of their allies. The target makes a Charisma Check DC 8 + Proficiency Bonus + Charisma Modifier, or is swayed by the Personalities words and become charmed for the Characters level in Personality worth of minutes. A creature charmed by the Personality will perform actions they normally wouldn’t do, but will not perform any suicidal or obviously harmful actions to themselves or others. If the Personality or any of their allies threaten or harm the target the effect is immediately broken.
At the end of the duration, the target realizes they were effected and depending on what they were asked to do may become hostile. A guard asked to let a Personality and their friends into a power plant will realize what they’ve done at the end of the time and raise the alarm, while a bouncer who let the same group in won’t really care.
