Adding diplomacy to a dread necro

[nintendoh]

Very low power game but we like it. Party consists of a dread necro, Warforged gunslinger and a healer all level 2. No one has spot or listen haha. So as a charismatic character how do i add diplomacy to my skill list.

[Deophaun]

Find a high-diplo character, kill him, and raise him as a corpse creature.

Or you could take the apprentice feat (DMG II) at level 1 (or not... as you're level 2...).

Edit: Martial Study for a White Raven maneuver will net you Diplomacy as a class skill.

What manuever, isnt that a school?

What manuever, isnt that a school?
Yes, it's a discipline. If you use Martial Study to learn any maneuver from it, you gain Diplomacy as a class skill.

Alternative ways to get new Class skills (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?491181)

[Grod_The_Giant]

Take either Martial Study (any White Raven Maneuver) or Apprentice (Entertainer) as a feat, or Cosmopolitan from the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. (The Player's Guide to Faerun version is worse).
Use Oriental Adventures and be a human from the Crane clan
