Notes

• This action involves a contested skill check similar to  Shove. See Contests for details. In particular, the character rolls a  Persuasion skill check with a DC equal to the target's passive Insight score which is given by

  10 + Wisdom modifier + proficiency bonus (if proficient) + other bonuses.

  Advantage on Insight checks (or Wisdom checks in general) gives a +5 flat bonus to this DC, while Disadvantage reduces the DC by 5.

• It is not stated anywhere, but the  Panache: Disadvantage condition is removed when any creature other than the Swashbuckler attacks or targets the affected entity with a harmful ability.

Bugs

• Enemies with the  War Caster or  Polearm Master feats still take Opportunity Attacks when otherwise affected by this feature.
