Cha based rogue

[Geoff Watson]

Try a multi-classed Courtier/Fighter.

You get the super Charisma skills of a Courtier, and the bad-ass-ness of the Fighter.

I'm still for using a Bard and taking as your perform style something appropriate. Like rhetoric, for example. After all, you don't need all the skill points of a Rogue - a bard with decent INT will be enough, the skills will be appropriate, and you get to have CHA as an important stat.
