So Varian has a power that's worded like this.
On a local check at an Urban location, you may recharge a card to add 1d4(□+1). (□ If the card you recharge is a Diplomacy or Finesse card, add its level.)
My question is what is a Diplomacy card. So far as I can tell Diplomacy is not a trait. Finesse is. Is this supposed to mean a to acquire check that has diplomacy as an option.

Agreed, a "Diplomacy card" would mean "a card with the Diplomacy trait", just like an "Animal card", etc. And Diplomacy doesn't turn up on traits. I would absolutely not think that checks-to-acquire should count (or otherwise listing "Melee cards" could get weird when it refers to items that can be acquired with Melee, for example).
Deserves a FAQ/errata, in my opinion. The intent is clearly to refer to cards that can be acquired with Diplomacy, though.
Additionally, I note that the Harrow Blessing The Foreign Trader has the following Hour effect...
WHEN THIS IS THE HOUR
On any non-combat check, you may freely recharge an ally that lists Diplomacy in its check to acquire to bless.
Which further asserts that "Diplomacy card" doesn't make sense (given that it's not a known trait of any card in PACG), and it was meant to mean "a card that lists Diplomacy in its check to acquire".
Agreed.
