Use modifiers or change the DC's if appropriate to fit the situation.    Initial NPC Attitude = d20 + Diplomacy    0+ Hostile 5+ Unfriendly 10+ Indifferent 15+ Friendly 20+ Helpful   For example, young Thrallan has his eye on the lovely Girdra. How does Girdra feel about Thrallan?  Thrallan gets a +1 for his CHR, and we'll give him a +2 circumstance bonus because he just finished the Ras Croi and is a member of the Grais now. But, Girdra's family doesn't like the Duncohrs. Apply a -1 circumstance penalty for that. Roll d20 +2 and check the total on the chart to determine Girdra's initial reaction to Thrallan.  Thrallan's player can then use the Diplomacy rules to attempt to change her attitude, if he wishes.   If the GM doesn't pick the initial attitude of the NPC, then a chart like the above can be easily constructed specifically for the situation.  Or, if a purely random (weighted, though) result is desired, consider something like this:   Roll 2d6 -----------  (2-3) Hostile (4-5) Unfriendly (6-7-8) Indifferent (9-10) Friendly (11-12) Helpful</blockquote>
