Expertise Talents

You gain an expertise talent at 3rd level and every 4 levels thereafter. With the exception of additional skill expertise, these talents require you to have expertise in the skills they affect, as indicated in parentheses after the talent’s name.

Read the Room (Ex; Sense Motive)

Source Interstellar Species pg. 23
You’re a master at studying reactions in a conversation, sensing topics that might upset others and adjusting your own arguments on the fly. If you would fail a Bluff check to lie, a Diplomacy check to change attitude, or an Intimidate check to bully, you can roll your expertise die. If the sum of your skill check result plus the expertise die would have succeeded at the check, you realize you’re about to say something inopportune and can change the subject without causing suspicion; your check neither succeeds nor fails, allowing you to retry the action and skill check later by spending the necessary time again. Once you use this expertise talent, you can’t do so again for 1 hour or until you rest for 10 minutes to regain Stamina Points, whichever comes first.
