custom base class, charisma skills based

[mehtar]

Hello all,
I'm looking for an existing custom (or even published) base class that has a focus more on charisma skills and leadership. Other d20 systems (star wars d20 for example) have created the Noble class which I feel has the right idea but is poorly implemented. I would like this charisma class to attract characters that are nobles, military officers, natural party leaders, caravan leaders, etc.
Does anyone know of a class that would work with this idea?

If I had to create this class from scratch (which I would prefer not to do), I think I would have it give plenty of bonus feats and bonuses to charisma skills. maybe even have the players choose abilities from a list that would specialize them in their chosen area (like military officer).

Thanks very much.

Mehtar

I don't know of any published classes that do what you seem to be looking for, but I'd consider folding the bard class into the Noble class from SWd20. I'm not quite sure how you want to do that, but consider allowing the inspire____ ability for the Noble. Things along those lines, just to make it a little more useful in a D&D type setting.
