## Tier 1 (Etiquette 1+)
* Flawless Courtesy Mark a die as Powerful when making a first impression; on success, the targets attitude improves by one step.
* Customs Insight Mark a die as Effectful when engaging with foreign cultures; success removes any faux pas penalties.
* Subtle Gesture You can convey coded messages to allies using manners or ritual; +1 die to allies who pick up the signal.
## Tier 2 (Etiquette 2+)
* Armor of Courtesy You may ignore 1 Slight in Social Encounters as long as you remain outwardly polite.
* Veiled Barbs (Etiquette/Intimidation) You may inflict 1 Slight on a rival using only cutting words, provided they share your culture.
* Favor Collector Each time you navigate a high-society event without misstep, you may “bank” 1 free die for future social conflicts.
## Tier 3 (Etiquette 3+)
* Hidden Message Mark a die as Persistent when speaking in code; allies automatically understand you without rolling.
* Name Dropper Once per scene, invoke a powerful connection to remove 1 Slight from yourself or an ally.

## Tier 4 (Etiquette 4+)

* Master of Ceremony Once per session, you may set the “social framing” of a scene (deciding its stakes, location, or tone).
