Pact of Deception
Rework, Buff
Pact Deception had a good run with many spell heavy classes but it's kit suffered an oversight in design where those who cannot teleport or gain invisible condition on their own could not ultize this archetype. As such, they will be given more ways to trigger their own archetype as well as more ways through the archetype to trigger itself. The following perk upgrades has receive a similar treatment.
Echo of Faces
Gain Proficiency in Deception. Whenever you teleport or go invisible, you leave behind a static image of you or your Illusory Form. This image ends when it makes any contact or till the end of your next turn.
If a creature uses its action to examine the image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your Fallen DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature.
