Okay, I am playing Red Hand, and we have lost our face. We have mostly very low charisma dwarves, and I am the only character without penalties to charisma. As such, I have become the default diplomancer. I am a Orc ranger with 11 charisma, and would like to improve my diplomacy without a huge investment. Any suggestions?
Hire somebody.
;P

Disclaimer: I've never played Red Hand. This is just off the top of my head:
What level are you? At mid/high level, a circlet of persuasion will give you +4 to all Cha-based skills.
Skill Focus will always give you +3, and Persuasive (I think it's that one) gives +2.
You could always go another route, though: Go with Bluff or Intimidate. Both of those skills are useful in combat as well (for things like Dazzling Display and the feint maneuver) and for stealth or interrogation. Because they do double duty, both of them are potentially useful for a ranger.
Or you could take Leadership and get a bard cohort.
I want to make a shirt that says "There's a Feat for that"
Go with the Persuasive feat that adds 2 to Intimidate (which sould already be high for being an orc) and... Diplomacy.
Also, try an Ioun Stone.
- Choose persuasive or skill focus
- Increase your ability score- Items like a headband, ion stone etc.
- Multiclass into a class that gives you bonuses to it (like spy rogue)
- Skill ranks are the most obvious I guess - as a ranger you get enough
What is a diplomancer?
We are 7th level, and hirelings are nonexistant. I really do not want to invest a feat, as I am the core melee damage dealer.
Well, it's items then :-)
Why not just call it diplomat?
Why not just call it diplomat?
Well, I guess it sounds cooler. Let me introduce you to the
- Archerancer- Meleemancer
- Shieldmancer
- Swimancer
- ...
:-P
I say just get the Intimidating Prowess feat and do things the orc way ;)
Yea, I know... I'm probably not helping.
Are there any item that give a boost, without costing too much. Maybe something that boosts a few times per day?
Well, depends. Typically skill bonuses (cheaper than ability bonuses) cost bonus*bonus*100. 1/day would by 1/5 of that, 2/day would be 2/5 of that...
What is "cheap"?
Extra trait : something that gives diplomacy as a class skill: will give you a +4 bonus as well as a second trait to play with.
Is diplomacy a class skill? If not then see what other players in the group have Diplocay as class skill. Identify those and see who has the most skill points. At that point they should be the party face. I mean even with -2 Chr bonus if the skill is class skill they are still +1 better than you are with an 11 Chr and not a class skill.

Dump all your ranks at the next level. Get a circlet of persuasion. At next feat pick up skill focus. You could also take a one level dip in rogue or bard(archeologist archetype) to get the favored class bonus.
Most of this is overkill and really filling out your ranks quickly and getting a circlet of persuasion should be more than enough.
how much is a +2 circlet of int? that gives you effective ranks equal to your level in one skill... of course, if you already have ranks in diplomacy and i missed it just ignore my babbling.
