Each time you succeed on a verbal Bluff check (whether it's for a lie, a maneuver, or some sort of feint, anything counts so long as it strongly employs your words), the deceived creature becomes one step friendlier than normal (maximum of Helpful). If you have an ability like this already, this portion of the stance acts like a lesser Glibness, granting a +10 to Bluff checks meant to mislead with words.
Should the creature discover the falsehood of a Bluff that created this effect, they become one step less friendly than they were before the lie, often two steps less friendly than they are now. If, however, your Bluff was in fact not a lie at all, but just a cleverly misleading fragment of the truth, the individual cannot bring themselves to be too mad, and only becomes one step less friendly than they currently are, to a maximum of Indifferent, for one week (though they might start wording themselves carefully around you, so steady on). For example, if someone asked you, a blind character with Blindsight, if you've "seen their scarf", you may reply no, even if you know it's location, without violating the truth, because you don't have eyes, and therefore didn't see it. Basically, lawyers are OP.
Finally, if you succeed a verbal Bluff against a Helpful character, you may replicate a saveless, extraordinary Insidious Suggestion. You don't even have to do a separate Bluff. You just have them wrapped so far around your finger that the check honeys your words into a hypnotic command. Although, if your Bluff fails, they are offered the secondary save to recognize you just tried to use that good Patrick Jane shit on them. They will probably be a little cross, but it's nothing a cute smile and semi-sincere apology won't fix. Hey, you got them this deep.
