I think he means that most of your skills give buffs to foes sense motive checks vs your bluffs. to be quite frank from a mechanical standpoint this is kinda true but personally i don't care i love this class... if some one is bluffing they will be bluffing hard anyways so why not let them do shenanigans in combat or out?

although perhaps there could be an ability that helps them bluff their way out of a direct confrontation similar to the movie quote you used in the opening... forcing people to be confused for X number of rounds on a failed sense motive check or something?
