3.5 Cheesy Diplomancer Build

[Lateral]

I know there's one out there that gets +100-or-so without items at level 20. Could someone show me that?

[Keld Denar]

There are builds that get to 50+ by level 6.

Try just googling "diplomancer". Just like I typed it.

[Lateral]

I did that. Couldn't find the actual build, just some people discussing it and a buncha dead links.

[UnChosenOne]

Only build (so far as I know) that fits your description: http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Politico_(3.5e_Optimized_Character_Build) 10 levels long gets you 58 to diplomancy.

edit: Fixed the link.

1d20+94 to 1d20+96 Total

Summary:

At a mere 6th level, Fred has a minimum of +94 on his diplomacy check. He has soothing voice, so he can stop fights as soon as they start, and he has tons of class goodies. Even with a -20 circumstance penalty on his check, he still automatically converts a creature from hostile to friendly. 7 times per day, Fred can stop fights that have already started just by talking with his Soothing Voice ability (Will DC 104 average negates). And best of all, Fred isn't specific to any campaign setting.

Edit: Bumped it up to +94.

Man, half-elves are overpowered.

...you're joking, right?

This is, like, the only thing they do well.

Your sarcasm detector appears to be in need of a tune up. :)

No, they are good at 2 things. The second being along the lines of:
"Wow, Half-Elf would be perfect for [class], oh, wait, I forgot about plain Human again."
