False Honor [General]
Prerequisites: Int +3Benefit: At will, you may change your honor to your False Honor score, which is 5 points higher then your true honor (see this page for more information on honor scores and ranks).

You may alter your honor as a free action, once per turn. If you publicly act in a dishonorable manner, or are proven to be a dishonorable person, the benefits of this feat are lost until you can rebuild your reputation. Maintaining a false honor score does not give you any of the benefits of your new rank, but it does get rid of the penalties of your honor score, if any, as long as it is working.

You may only take this feat twice. Under this variant, good characters cannot take this feat.
Artifacts, as well as effects or items with a caster level five or more levels higher than your own, are not affected by this feat. They're simply too powerful to be fooled.
