-'''Find Place''' is an [[Knowledge Points|amateur]]-status [[Sage Ability|sage ability]] in the [[Sage Study|study]] of [[Guile (sage study)|Guile]], that enables the character to beguile others, so as to become popular with others. By means of this deception, the character is able to get hired, join a coterie of persons with shared interests or tastes, or become a welcome part of a [[Congregation (religious)|congregation]] — even if the character lacks the necessary skills or is not a believer in the group's doctrine.  Put another way, the character is a good talker ... and is able to dupe others into thinking he or she is a good person, deserving to be one of their number.
+'''Find Place''' is an [[Knowledge Points|amateur]]-status [[Sage Ability|sage ability]] in the [[Sage Study|study]] of [[Guile (sage study)|Guile]], granting the character an exceptional talent for ingratiating themselves with others, gaining trust and securing a position within social circles, workplaces or religious communities. Through charm, quick thinking and a gift for persuasive speech, the character can convince others of their worth, even if they lack the necessary skills, experience or genuine belief in the group's ideals. Whether by feigned enthusiasm, subtle deception or sheer likability, the character becomes a welcome presence, blending seamlessly into organisations, guilds, congregations or coteries of like-minded individuals.
-Thus the character is able to work his or her way into an organisation, thus meeting persons in minor positions of authority and learning the operation's function from the inside out.  It's possible, if the right actions are taken, for the character to rise within the organisation's power structure, despite the chicanery, pretense and outright lying involved.  This would require the character's separation from the party, however ... so it's practical only if the character is free to retire permanently or temporarily from the campaign, leaving the character's [[Henchfolk|henchfolk]] to carry on.  In fact, the character possessed of the sage ability could be one of the main player character's henchfolk.
+This ability allows the character to infiltrate a group from the inside, becoming familiar with its inner workings, structure and key figures. While initially entering through minor roles or casual affiliations, a particularly shrewd individual can navigate the social and political landscape of the organisation, forming relationships with those in positions of influence. With the right actions — well-placed flattery, strategic alliances and carefully managed deceit — the character could climb the ranks, securing power, influence and access to privileged information.
-Until the character with this skill is exposed, he or she will be greeted with welcome by many persons, particularly by tavern and innkeepers; it's not uncommon for the character to obtain one or two free drinks a night, after visiting a given tavern three or four times.  This benefice comes on account of the character's ability to tell stories and provide humour, making him or her very well liked.
+However, such ambition requires a commitment that might separate the character from the party, making this course practical only if the character is willing to step away from adventuring, either temporarily or permanently. In some cases, a loyal [[Henchfolk|hench]] may be the one to wield this ability, embedding themselves within a group on behalf of their employer.
