Not burst, flaming, vorpal, speed and so on... Your character must be strong without any Dm's aid. This is the way to the real smack! For this smack you need Psionics Handbook, Song and Silence, FRCS and DMG. Human Psion (Telepath) 16th level Skills: 19 to Bluff or to Diplomacy. Cha 18 (+4) (Hey! It's a smackdown!) Levels +4 so +2 to Cha +5 Inherent so +2 to Cha (25500 gp) Psycristal: Liar +2 to Bluff (or Friendly +2 to Diplomacy) 1st level: Spell Focus +2 to Bluff + Greater Spell Focus Bluff +4 (if you want a diplomat, choose Diplomacy, +4) 3rd level: Street Smarts +2 to Bluff and Gather Information (or if you want a diplomat, choose Smooth talk, +2) (FRCS) 6th level: Silver Palm +2 to bluff and +2 to Appraise (FRCS) 9th level: Psychoanalist: +2 to Bluff, Diplomacy and Intimidate checks 12th level: Charlatan +2 to Bluff and Disguise Checks (Trustworthy for Diplomacy) (S&Silence) 15th level: Persuasive +2 to Bluff and Intimidate checks.

With only a standard action. No preparing rounds. So with 2 on a roll, you have a 102 (104) Bluff ("or" only 50, I think, to Diplomacy Checks). ps: Take for example Phlogiston, the uber Half-fire elemental/half-great wyrm red dragon drd20, cr47, his sense motive is 42+30 (impossible check, I think)=72+1d20 (A note: Sense motive isn't a class skill for a dragon!

An unfriendly Npc becomes helpful with 18 on a roll (ughhh) or friendly with 3. Am hostile Npc becomes indifferent with 3, friendly with 13. [/QUOTE]
