That's some darn good stew! Charge!!!

Just an off-hand comment here. We've all heard about Jumplomancers and whatnot using Exemplar to convert people to your cause...but what about something as simple as Craft:Cooking?

"Ma'am, I've got to say, that was the best soup I've ever had in my life...*burp* Me and my men have decided that for now till forever, we are your men, the Army of the Silver Ladle! What are your orders?"

[kamikasei]

Use Hide.

"I don't think there's anyone there, but I'd follow that no one to the ends of the earth!"

[Zenos]

Too much logic.

What about swim?"Hey, that guy is swimming so good he is practically standing on the water, let us be fanatical followers of him.

[Neithan]

We all know that Perform (performace) works spectaculary.

"I really like his performance, I'll completely focus my whole life on him."

[Zenos]

Perform (kama sutra) certainly works. Atleast if he/she is of the appropriate preference.

What about using UMD for diplomacy?

[MisterSaturnine]

I tried to think of something better than Hide, but I think kamikasei wins.

Listen would be entertaining, though. Everyone likes a good listener.

I think you meant to say:

"OMIGOD! he's so dreamy, I'm going to become his number one stalker, I mean fan!"

[Zenos]

Concentration check. "He is staring at me so intensely, he must really love me, so I'll follow him to hell if need be!"

What would move silence be?

[Efil]

How about appraise?

[Zenos]

"He just seem to KNOW what I'm worth, I am SOOO following him".

Best mime ever.

Martial Lore. Forgery (wait, I can see that). Profession(farmer). Handle Animal.

[Djinn_in_Tonic]

My favorite?

Profession: Maid

"See her? Look how amazing she is at cleaning that house! Who better to lead our army on it's path to righteous glory?"

[TheCountAlucard]

There's Climb - "I've NEVER seen a man get up a tree that fast! Surely this must be a sign that we should follow him into battle!"

[kamikasei]

If you're actually doing something visibly impressive, however unrelated to leading a vast movement, it's too understandable to be truly funny.

Autohypnosis?
Decipher Script?
Sense Motive?

"I feel he looked in to my very soul... and memorized its contents, even though they were written in a language none now speak. We were poking him with needles at the time, but he heeded it not!"

[Mike_G]

Too much logic.

What about swim?"Hey, that guy is swimming so good he is practically standing on the water, let us be fanatical followers of him.

Hasn't the "walking on water" thing worked for the past 2000 years?

[Inyssius Tor]

Use Rope?

"He who unties the Elukian Knot will become king of all Aventus!"

EDIT: wait, can Use Rope do that?

[LibraryOgre]

Nah, that's WP: Sword. ;-)

Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt the thread, but what is a Jumplomancer and Exemplar?

I am very confused, and very interested about all this.

Exemplars eventually get the ability to use other skills in the place of Diplomacy checks. Hilarity ensues.

Google result 1 for 'Jumplomancer'

[Eldariel]

Jump is by far the easiest skill to boost because speed bonuses boost the skill check. Exemplar is a prestige class in Complete Adventurer that gets tons of skill-related bonuses. On level 4, it gains the ability to choose a skill, and use that skill effectively as Diplomacy. Therefore, Jumplomancer takes Exemplar-levels, chooses Jump as his skill of choice and boosts his Jump skyhigh, then makes an epic leap (DC120 Diplomacy-turned-Jump check) to mimic Diplomacy, which converts hostile characters to fanatic (willing to die for you). Doing it as a standard action is DC140. Thanks to speed bonuses, Jumplomancer does it with far less trouble than a standard Diplomancer (that just boosts its Diplomacy to epic degrees), and is hilarious while at it.

"OH MI GOD, YOU JUMP SO HIGH! I DEVOTE MY LIFE TO THEE, MASTER!"
