Feat bonuses should never depend on what level you are. Also, just having it level times two is way to high. Maybe a bonus of half your level.

??? A feat should give some advantage. A level 20 character doesn't need a +10 to diplomacy to get hospilatily from a commoner!

My feat means the vassals give help to their betters... not usable to calm monsters or more covenient usage of diplomacy!

Huh? If he doesn't need +10 to get help, why is your feat given him +40 to get that same help?

I think this would be better reflected in circumstance bonuses, not a feat. Besides, to get that type aof help all a person needs to do is put points in Diplomancy, simple enough.

It's a style feat... Give power and prestige to players, mostly. It's part of my commander class ( august 5...)

You might look at the reputation system such as exists in Star Wars RPG or Wheel of Time rpg. Each class gets a certain number of reputation points per level, which become a bonus for communication skills in certain situations.

It might be a better solution for what you're looking for. And it might not.

There's also some really good reputation rules and social feats in one of the Dragons....

 

[trepanier]

It's not reputation: a noble may be a ruin as a reputation and still his subjects will HAVE TO be fair with him...

high status <> reputation <> charisma <> a
ppereance, voice, sex appeal

You have soem of these reputation rules handy ?

As was said you can find them in one of the Dragons or in Star Wars, and ther ecould be other books that have them as well.

Faded Suns D20 has a set of Social feats which are excellently crafted and provide a variety of bonuses of this type/style.
