So, I was building myself a Lore Oracle, and a question popped into my head involving the interaction between the Lore Keeper revelation and the Circlet of Persuasion
Lore Keeper (Ex): Instead of encyclopedic knowledge, you learn most of your information through tales, songs, and poems. You may use your Charisma modifier instead of your Intelligence modifier on all Knowledge checks.
and
Circlet of Persuasion
This silver headband grants a +3 competence bonus on the wearer's Charisma-based checks.
Does Lore Keeper essentially modify Knowledge skills to be Charisma-based for the Oracle, and thus able to benefit from the Circlet of Persuasion?
They stack. The Lore Keeper is a Class bonus and the Circlet is a Competence bonus, which again stacks with a Headband's Enhancement bonus
By the way, fun fact.
Headband of Alluring Charisma. Slot: Headband.
Circlet of Persuasion. Slot: Head.
They can both be worn at the same time.
If you're rolling a skill, and the attribute bonus you add to the skill roll is CHA, then it's a CHA based skill check and thus gets the bonus from the circlet of persuasion.
They don't, of course, benefit from Focused Trance. While knowledge checks are usually intelligence-based, they aren't if you have lore keeper.
