[3.5/3.P] Int for Interaction Skills?

[facelessminion]

Hi there. I'm new to the forums, though I've trawled around on them a decent amount. I was wondering, does anyone know of any current existing feats or prestige classes that allow you to use Int instead of Cha for interaction skills such as Bluff and Diplomacy?

There's a regional feat (Rapscallion (http://www.realmshelps.net/cgi-bin/featbox.pl?feat=Rapscallion), from Dragon #315) and a PrC (Mountebank, from Complete Scoundrel) that let you add your intelligence to Bluff checks, in addition to charisma.

Another regional feat (Keen Intellect (http://www.realmshelps.net/cgi-bin/featbox.pl?feat=Keen_Intellect), from Oriental Adventures) lets you replace wisdom with intelligence for Sense Motive checks.

I don't know anything similar for Diplomacy.

Ooo, why thank you. Now all I'd need is to find a way to work on Diplomacy... I've ended up getting dragged into a bit of light intra-party conflict in a game where the players are working to steer the development of a growing nation-state, so I'm having to rapidly increase the savvy of my Witch PC.

X to Y stat bonus thread covers everything.

Hmm, you might find useful the Social Recovery skill trick, it lets you use Bluff to "correct" a failed Diplomacy check.

The Wanderer's Diplomacy (http://www.realmshelps.net/cgi-bin/featbox.pl?feat=Wanderer~s_Diplomacy) feat does something similar, but the effect doesn't last long.

(I'm not sure if you can combine all of the above, though. You can only take one regional feat and only at 1st level, while the others have prerequisites that require higher level.)

The Urban Savant's Urban Empathy ability lets you make an appropriate knowledge check (nature for animals and local for humanoids for example) instead of diplomacy checks. The Urban Savant is from Cityscape.
