And that's the difference between role-playing and power-gaming. Personal choice stuff.

Ok since your having trouble with a quick phrase explanation as to your misinterpreting of basic game mechanics.
Bluff giving you a bonus to performance will not give you a bonus to diplomacy as you only get the bonus for actual skill points spent on Ranks. it is not from the total of all your bonus's.
Does this help? if not, Im sorry and I shall not attempt again...LOL

Ah I am sorry.
"Bluff gives bonus to Performance (act), which gives bonus to Diplomacy, which gives a bonus to bluff..."
Means
"Bluff gives bonus to Performance (act).
Performance (act) gives a bonus to Diplomacy.
Diplomacy gives a bonus to Bluff."
Am I wrong? I did not continue the sentence farther, so I don't understand how you misinterpreted what I said. "..." is effectively a period, ending a sentence, but indicating that one is trailing off ones words into silence.
I was not saying the bonus effects would count as ranks and thus attribute to the next skill giving a bonus. I was trying to show how closely the skills in your example synergy. Whether that synergy is a bad thing is based on opinion, but that the synergy is fairly strong should not be overlooked.
I don't like how you assumed I was misunderstanding a game mechanic when I had already said I thought perhaps my English had caused a misunderstanding. I am not all-knowing, but when I don't know, I ask instead of making assumptions. Its a good policy to follow in forums...
Profession (Entrepreneur) gives +2 to Diplomacy.
Profession (Smith) gives +2 to Appraise for anything mostly metal.
Profession (Jeweler) gives +2 to Appraise for anything with gems and precious materials (gold, silver, pearl).
Profession (Cook) gives +2 to Survival when preparing food.
Profession (Informant) gives +2 to Gather Information and Sense Motive or Decipher Script.
Profession (Waitress) gives +2 to Balance and Tumble (lol)
Profession (Dominatrix) gives +2 to Use Rope and Intimidate (lol)
Profession (Whore) gives +2 to Perform (all) and Escape Artist (lol!)
I see the Entrepreneur and Dominatrix being taken together... XD
I LIKE IT!!
