Yeesh that's better than what I rolled O_o<br/><br/>A half-elf can start with +12 diplomacy check<br/>+1 rank +5 cha +3 skill focus +2 negotiator +1 trait<br/><br/>So can the Piper, I suppose, but she's putting a normal feat into Skill Focus then. On the other hand, like clerics, oracles aren't very dependent on feat selection.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>She's playing an oracle, so she is a divine caster, and she can never use silent spell. Alternately, could take elven soul, and swap 'mystic voice' out for some elven trait. Pipers seem to be a good candidate for a sort of elven variant.
