Rather than just drop a new skill into the wiki (and thus the game) all official-like, I'm opening the floor to discussions of new skills here on the forums.

--- Hype Social Apprenticeship 120 hours Requires boasting A useful tool in a herald's arsenal, this is bragging for other people. An apprentice can set up a favourable position for another speaker. This is similar to a warm-up comedian for a talk show getting an audience laughing before the host's opening monologue. The second speaker gets a +3 assistance bonus for any social skills. Journeymen can build up expectations in a favourable way. This would be like an agent telling a casting director that she her client has the perfect look for a part before even showing the actor's headshots. This gives the aided party a free retest on their Appearance check to make a good first impression. Masters of hype get their audience excited enough to believe what they are told about the beneficiary. Use of this skill at the master level allows one to grant an appropriate status to the beneficiary when presented in front of a crowd of at least a dozen listeners.
