Diplomancer?
« on: August 23, 2009, 07:41:11 PM »
My DM told me to make a diplomancer for his new campaign.



Any suggestions on classes/feats?

My race is already set though: Some kind of custom race of his, a tiny(actual size) 'Cabbit' with AT LEAST a +4(but I'm looking towards a +6 to a +8) to charisma and a bonus to dex.


Starting at level 1 with max gold per class.

All books except ToB are fine, this also includes 3rd party sources(even non dragon mag)

How exactly are you going to get a race like that at level one? It also limits a lot, since you can't get Soothing voice...

Since half-elf bard isn't an option...

Start with Marshal (yo dawg I herd you like charisma so I put some charisma in your charisma). Grab Nymph's Kiss as your first level feat.

Then dip Warlock and get Beguiling Influence.

Dip Cleric and take the Herald and Mind domains.

Dip Binder and bind Naberius.

So now you're level 4, and your intimidate check is 10 + 7 ranks + 2x Cha + 6 Beguiling Influence + 2 Mind domain + 3 Skill Focus + 2 circumstance Nymph's Kiss + 4 sacred Herald domain... So 34 + 2x Cha. Which you can do as a standard action at no penalty. You also have pretty sweet Intimidate.

Your race is already set, but can you take templates? Magic-blooded from Dragon magazine and Unseelie Fey from Dragon Compendium both give Charisma bonuses, and have +0 level adjustment.

Dunno how well it would work at level 1 though.

It wasn't really my choice, but I may be able to persuade him to let me use the Half-elf acf.

Telepath/thrallherd? Why sweet-talk when you can dominate?
[spoiler]Masculine men like masculine things. Masculine men are masculine. Therefore, liking masculine men is masculine.

I dare anyone to find a hole in that logic.

Half fey gets charm at will. Should go a long way to diplomancer.
