What class should I pick if I wanted to make a goblin trade prince? (from world of warcraft). As an example Jastor Gallywix is one, greedy, fat and shrewder than king shrewd.
I'm thinking of either a Rogue or a Bard, mostly bard because of well the charisma, you're a charismatic individual who manipulates,extorts and abuses people of their money.
Then again the rogue is literally a ''backstabber'' who also has all the skills to back up things and fancy rogue talents are nice to have.
Any opinions and ideas on the concept?
Also all suggested feats and traits are appreciated as well.
Thanks!
Look at the bonuses from archeologist bard, strip away all the fluff and just focus on the mechanics.
This can be fluffed for a lot of things, a charismatic roguish character that gets by on luck and guile, and is equipped to side-step traps and disable dangerous contraptions....
... sounds perfect to me.

Looks like just what I'm looking for, too bad no party buff's for real utility but then again *shrugs* won't be the friendliest guy in the neighborhood. Also add leadership feat at lvl 7 and I have my own lackey's.
Got any feat suggestions or trait's that I should pick up? Or any advices how to be good in combat?
There are optimization guides for every class in this forum section, the bard and rogue ones will help you get good at combat. You might be better served by being a wizard and simply playing a character who always plans 3 steps ahead, but I don't know how far that deviates from the concept.
There is a feat for casters called "bloatmage initiate" on the srd. It makes you fat and gives some good benefits. It also leads you into the "bloatmage" prestige class which makes you even fatter for even more benefits.
Also, due to the way the game works WBL is gonna stop you from actually being much richer than anyone else, no matter who you are or what you do the DM is gonna reduce your money to balance you against the other characters. Ultimate Campaign has advice that says maybe 150% WBL with 2 useful crafting feats, but that's it.

Hmm I don't think our GM follows the WBL rule much beyond that we at least have the wealth of that level but someone might have a LOT more money than the other because it fits their character.
You are lucky. I have had to retire both thieving characters and magic item creators because the various DM's I was playing under couldn't handle characters designed to get rich. I understand why WBL exists, but it does hit some concepts much harder than others.

I think it balances some of the ''weaker'' classes like the rogue with the ability to purchase magic items and etc.
