Need 3.5 Bear Build Help

[Roto]

I need help making a character. Concept is a bear with enough ranks in bluff to bluff everyone into thinking its not a bear... I don't want it to extremely powerful so around level 14-15 max level. Can anyone offer any advice?

Problem: this concept doesn't make much sense unless you are literally a bear. And literal bears are unplayable. Are you sure you wouldn't rather just be a shapeshifter who spends time as a bear?

So, you'd need to play as an awakened bear.

The only playable awakened bear I know of is in Savage Species.

Boosting skills, is easy.

There aren't any playable awakened animals in Savage Species.

There are anthropomorphic animals, but that's an entirely different concept.

First: Hilarious concept.
"Is that a bear over there?"
"I'm not a bear."
"Oh, you're right. What was I thinking?"

Second: I'm gonna have to double-check this, but I bet Cleric 1/Divine Bard X with DMM: Persisted Glibness could work. Alternatively, ArchivistX/Sacred Exorcist 1 with DMM: Persist could achieve the same thing.

Hmmmmm. Maybe a Druid (constantly wildshaped into bear form, natch) with telepathy? That way you also get to Bluff people into thinking that you're speaking, not just mind-talking.
