In this role you wouldn't be pushing paper or doing the grunt work - you'd be the largely autonomous representative of a possibly dissinterested Elven court. From an elf point of view, humans have this annoying habit of needing an answer, sometimes even within the same year its asked. This agent of the court would smooth relations & protect the elf point of view.SpellcastersWizard is the preferred class for elves, magic represents a great deal of their power. Diplomats would be a representative of the race so it has a special place for the preferred class. Besides I think magic would be a primary conduit for communication and intrigue at the courts.2 x Knowledge 10 This is the primary barrier to entry into the prestige class. Normally this would make the earliest level 7. I said 5 because I believe where there is a will there is a way so I wouldn't be surprised if someone could find feat etc... to shave a few levels off this barrier to entry. It is also the same mechanic as the WOTC Ollam class.I'm being conservative as a game balance thing right now. I'm not averse to lowering the barrier - especially if I lower the skill points but I want to mull that over.Diplomatic ImmunityInteresting. The mechanics of this need some thinking. Most of the 'immunity' would have to come from the hosting culture. The diplomat would always follow Elf laws. Perhaps he might need the freedom to follow Elf Law within his safe house. Considering the effects of magic this might be a dangerous thing for a city.Sigurd</blockquote>
