You rely on the twisty nature of your performances to confuse and disorient. You can use Performance instead of Deception to create-a-diversion or feint, and you can use an acting Performance instead of Deception to impersonate or lie.

In addition, when you use Performance to Create a Diversion, the creatures you attempted to divert gain only a +2 circumstance bonus to their Perception DCs against your other attempts to Create a Diversion with Performance for 1 minute. When you fail to Lie to a creature using Performance, they gain only a +2 circumstance bonus against further attempts to Lie to them with Performance for the remainder of the conversation.
