What you say depends on what you want them to do and who they are. With bluff you are deceiving them to get them to act as you want. With diplomacy you are probably flattering them to get them to do what you want. For example you could use bluff to pretend to be someone of authority who the person would obey. The classic use of diplomacy is when the girl talks tells the guard how strong and attractive he is.</p>
<p>In either case you JoeElf is right. You are not actually bluffing someone; you are using your bluff to intimidate them. That means that you would not get the bonuses for bluff.</p>There is no specific answer to your question, because it is going to depend on the circumstance of the encounter.

<br />
Coax Information (Ex)
<br />
A rogue with this talent can use Bluff or Diplomacy in place of Intimidate to force an opponent to act friendly toward her. When the duration of the attitude shift ends, that opponents’ attitude toward the rogue returns to its previous level, rather than dropping one level.</p>

Mechanically, you just use the modifiers from one skill for another. How you flavor it is up to anything that fits. They are all at least Charisma-based skills in Coax Information, unlike some of the bard options.</p>Think of it like Versatile Performance of a Bard.

You are making them intimidated by use of another skill bonus. </p>
<p>But if role play was the goal and if I remember my police dramas, you align yourself with their world view and convince them that they are right and the rest of the world is wrong. After that, you are working with them towards whatever it is that you need from them. </p>
<p>Depending on the opening, I would say no modifier if they think you might be like them or a -5 if they suspect that you have an ulterior motive. I would put a -10 if you were obviously working against their interest (like the cop in the interrogation room). These modifiers would apply equally in my opinion to when you are lying outright, or finessing the truth through diplomacy. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t go any further than -10 because of the way intimidate is set up. Intimidate is the much easier alternative in most situations where the NPC is hostile or unfriendly, so an ability that mimics it should be held to a comparable standard.</p>RAW, there is not a modifier based on the situation.

You aren't good at being either charming or menacing: you're good at lying.</p>
<p>How do you roleplay it? By roleplaying!</p>
<p>So how do you use Bluff instead of Diplomacy? You cozy up to them. You butter them up. You tell them you are an artist, and you think the security guard has a heroic profile, and you'd like to paint his picture. Then you get him to pose nude for you. You get him to practice posing while you go grab your #2 beveled tip paintbrush that you just left inside. You leave him there posing naked while you go rob the place (or something). After a few minutes, he starts to realize you played him. You run away, praying he will never catch up with you.</p>
<p>How do you use Bluff instead of Intimidate? Pretend to be a cop. Tell him he got a girl pregnant, and you were sent by her father to force you to marry her. As he starts to panic, you offer to pretend you didn't find him if he gives you a bribe. If not that, then some other piece of compromising information that is just plausible enough to make your victim want to settle instead of fight. The next day, he'll realize your story was crap, but by then it will be too late. And it's not like he'll go to the police: that would be an admission of guilt!</p>You use Bluff instead of Diplomacy, or you use Bluff instead of Intimidate.
