[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 1107810, member: 2525"] Ha! I sense a challenge to my min/maxing powers! This is in Arcana Unearthed, so YMMV. All you need to be is a 17th level Akashic. Charisma 22 (four increases), for +6 to Charisma skill checks. 20 ranks in Diplomacy. 5 ranks in Bluff, for a +2 synergy bonus to Diplomacy checks. 5 Ranks in Sense Motive, for a +2 synergy bonus to Diplomacy check. Feats: Affinity with Skill: Diplomacy (+4 Diplomacy checks), Skill focus: Diplomacy (+3 Diplomacy), Skill Application: Diplomacy and Bluff (+2 Diplomacy), Tattoo Spell: Heightened Canny Effort (+10 to next skill check once a day), Born Leader (+4 Diplomacy), Akashic Abilities used: Skill memory (+6 to skill check), Minor ability: Skill Focus: Diplomacy ability (+4 to skill check), Lesser ability: Skill Focus: Diplomacy ability (+4 to skill check), Greater ability: Skill Focus: Diplomacy ability (+4 to skill check). Yes, these are all stackable bonuses. Most are inherant bonuses that specifically stack according to Monte Cook. So, you trigger your Skill Memory, seeking words of advice from the most charismatic people of the ages. You tap your tattoo. You roll 20 on the Diplomacy check, using Skill Mastery. And there you go...you have a 91 for your Diplomacy check (one better than you asked for). I think with some magic items you could crank it even higher. There are also several races that get a bonus to Diplomacy that could add to it. [/QUOTE]
