Explore the Inciter archetype for Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Learn about its unique abilities like Sneak Attack, Raging Song, and Mind Games to master deceit and subterfuge.
The Inciter archetype requires the Dance of Masks DLC. An Inciter specializes in deceit and subterfuge, gaining sneak attacks and the ability to grant sneak attacks to allies. They gain fewer Rage powers and do not gain additional songs, but their Raging Song debuffs enemies.

Serpent's Tongue: An Inciter adds half her class level to Persuasion (Bluff and Intimidate) checks.
Insult: Enemies hearing an Inciter's Raging Song must make a Will save (DC = 10 + class level / 2 + CHA modifier) or become enraged, taking a -2 penalty on attack rolls and skill checks until they make a successful melee or ranged attack against the Inciter or damage her with a spell. This is a sonic, mind-affecting, emotion effect.
Mind Games: An Inciter gains a +1 bonus to saving throws vs. mind-affecting, compulsion, fear and emotion effects. This bonus increases by +1 every six additional class levels (maximum +4 at 19th level).
Sneak Attack: From 2nd level an Inciter's attacks deal an additional +1d6 sneak damage when a target is flanked or denied its Dexterity bonus to AC. The Inciter gains an additional +1d6 sneak damage at 7th level, 12th level and 17th level.
Prompted By Backstabbing: From 8th level, allies hearing the Inciter's Raging Song add +1d6 sneak damage to attacks. This increases by +1d6 at 13th level and 18th level.
Caustic Ridicule: From 10th level, enemies affected by the Inciter's Insult ability suffer a -1 penalty to AC and Will saving throws. At 15th level, this penalty increases to -2.
Sneaky Tricks: From 12th level, an Inciter can choose Advanced Talents which modify sneak attacks and grant the bonus to allies through her Raging Song (note that she does not get to choose a talent at this level).
Hit a Nerve: The Inciter's Raging Song no longer inflicts a penalty to allies' AC or limits what abilities they can use. Enemies suffer half the penalties from Insult and Caustic Ridicule even when making their saving throws.
