Prance Merrily: A 3rd-level Fop can Prance Merrily once per day, gadding about gaily, tossing his head to and fro and kicking up his heels. Add +5 to the Fop’s reflex save for the rest of the battle.
Powder Wig: At 4th level, a Fop can powder his wig, adding +2 to his Charisma so long as he spends 15 minutes each day powdering his wig. Wig powder costs 1 gp per day of supply.
Saucy Angle: At 5th level, the Fop can tilt his cap at a downright saucy angle once per day, adding +10 to all Snub checks. However, using this ability reduces his Propriety save by –5.
Flout Good Taste: At 6th level, a Fop may Flout Good Taste most heinously, putting on airs and comporting himself in a boorish manner. As a result, the Fop no longer has to make Retain Dignity checks. (See Snuffbox and Monocle: The Complete Gadfly’s Handbook, page 21)

Rakish Angle: At 8th level, a Fop may turn his cap upon his brow at an angle that is, simply put, rakish. The Fop’s snubs become almost unstoppable, adding +15 to his check.
Raise Eyebrow: At 9th level, the Fop can raise his eyebrow meaningfully, at just the
right moment, implying disbelief and amusement. The Fop can add a +5 bonus to any Fop class skill once per day.
Satirical Quatrain: At 10th level, the Fop can compose and recite Satirical Quatrains at will. Writing down these cutting pieces of verse allow the Fop to transcribe any of his Fop abilities as though it were a spell, as per the Scribe Scroll feat in the Player’s Handbook.
