[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 5193511, member: 221"] Pathfinder scalable diplomacy bonuses for the queen by the book (no fiat): assuming a 16 charisma (14 starter stat; +2 racial bonus) 1st level aristocrat - 16 cha (+3 bonus), feats: persuasive, skill focus (diplomacy) = +12 diplomacy 2nd level = +13 diplomacy 3rd level aristocrat = +14 diplomacy 4th level, 17 cha (+3 bonus) = +15 diplomacy etc... 8th level, 18 cha (+4 bonus) = +20 diplomacy Diplomacy, in Pathfinder, as generally used, is an uncontested skill check. The difficulty for changing a hostile attitude is 25+cha modifier. an Unfriendly attitude 20+, indifferent 15+, friendly 10+. This means that our first level queen makes all friendly people helpful 100% of the time. She will almost always be able to make indifferent people helpful or at least friendly, and over half the time she will be able to make unfriendly people less so and about a quarter of the time might even make them friendly. By the time she is 8th level, she is a world class diplomat and can almost 100% of the time make unfriendly people friendly and hostile people, more often than not forget to be mad at her. Furthermore, in Pathfinder, diplomacy is used to ferret out secrets. At first level, there are few common secrets she can't find out, as the DC for obscure rumors and secrets is 20, given time, at 1st level, she'll know all the court secrets and over half the time will be able to find out such information in less than an hour.
