    Default Re: The Ultimate Bluff Prestige Class (3.5 PrC, PEACH)

    Reading this class, I am reminded of items on Mr. Welch's list:

    1952. There is no bluff check in the world that gets around divine retribution.
    Now let's look at the class.
    1023: Effectively pulled off at level 2
    1818: Not here, though considering the class, it could get a little abused
    1952: Still working out the math on whether or not a level 10 Charlatan could bluff a god.

    In summary:

    Charlatans are Awesome

    EDIT: Here's the math for Bluffing a god. I'm using Cuthebert because he has the highest Sense Motive Modifier. Nerull comes in second at +90, followed by Bahamut at +79.
    God: St. Cuthebert
    Base Sense Motive Modifier: +100, and always rolls a 20.
    -10 for being close to the Charlatan
    Total: 110

    Level 10 Charlatan/Level 1 Warlock/Level 6 Sorcerer:
    Bluff Modifier:
    20 (Ranks)
    5 (Feats)
    10 (Base Charisma score (Assumed to start at 18 before racial modifiers, character is a race with a +4 to Charisma, and character has read a +4 Tome of Leadership (grants +4 Charisma), and has recieved all 4 stat increases))
    3 (Snake Familiar)
    Non-magical total: +38
    Roll needed: Impossible

    Adding Magic Items and Spells:
    3 (Cloak of Charisma +6)
    6 (Beguiling Influence)
    30 (Glibness)
    5 (Mask of Lies)
    2 (Eagle's Splendor)
    2 (Amulet of Wordtwisting)
    2 (Inspire Competence {The function of this depends on your DM.})
    Magical Total: +50

    Net total: +88
    Roll needed: Impossible, but only barely (Needs to roll a 22)

    ATTENTION: Finally returning (slowly) after a hiatus. I'd rather not talk about it.

    You're right, it's too weak.
