I'm trying to make a Wild Empathy focused character in PFS. I know that numerical bonuses to Diplomacy like skill ranks don't apply to Wild Empathy, but what about non-numerical modifiers?
Wild Empathy states "This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person." If you have an ability that changes how Diplomacy checks made to improve the attitude of a person works, do those also apply to Wild Empathy?
Take the alternate racial trait Silver Tongued:
"Humans with this trait gain a +2 bonus on Diplomacy and Bluff checks. In addition, when they use Diplomacy to shift a creature's attitude, they can shift up to three steps up rather than just two."
The +2 bonus won't apply to Wild Empathy, because it doesn't get included in the Druid level + CHA calculation. But what about the second part? Since Wild Empathy "functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person", would the ability to shift a creature's attitude by 3 steps apply to Wild Empathy?
