1) After seperating with the party to search an area with the rogue, you loot a room with vast amount of treasure. When you meet up with your group and when they ask what's that large bag of items you're carrying you say it's feminine hygiene products.

2) You blown up a building and gaurds are after you and you claim it was your twin.

3) Your group stolen royal jewels from the queen and guards find you with the jewels and then say those are just replicas.

And a rogue would make more sense for lies.

4) "No good King, your daughter would never be doing THAT to me. She was just helping me with my monthly check for...cancer."

And a bard would make even more sense.

But Rouge and Bard have to focus on multiple stats while Sorcerer only has to focus on one Stat CHA and has Bluff as a Class skill.

an elven bard would make the most sense.

5: Still, a 20+ level sorcerer doesn't need to bluff. See joke about 275kg Gorilla.

Bards are typically the best bluffers because they have Bluff as a class skill, typically a high CHA, and access to the Glibness spell, which only appears on the Bard's spell list.

6) (The entire party is captured and the sorc is given some last words in front of the entire town) "You're all fish!", the entire town, people, cops, it all, start flopping of the ground.

7. The sorcerer was sneaking alone into the BBEG's castle, and is seen by the guards, who are capable melee fighters. "What are you doing in here?" they demand. The sorcerer bluffs, "What am I doing here? Hell if I know. I'm lost--I was looking for the bar. How do I get there?" The guards escort him out of the castle unharmed.

8: If this sorcerer just *happened* to be wearing full plate at the time, and some paladins came, (And you know how they all have unearthly saves, and a maxed out sense motive mod to boot, and it's so hard to cast spells in full plate— how did that rogue with the maxed-out bluff con him into wearing it?!?) the sorcerer would grab a couple of branches, and stand up straight, feet together with his arms out wide. Then shout out loudly, "I'M A TREE!!!"

And the paladins look at him, and then at each other and say, "Yep, he's a tree."

(NB: This actually happened. And the character was actually wearing tank-armor of some sort, and was an ork. (it was WH40K RPG) And the game allows crits on skills.)

9: Going into a barracks full of Valkeries in Odin's domain, performing "virginity checks", then living to tell about it.

Don't start taking away the sorcerer's *only* synergetic skill! It's as if nobody liked the sorcerer...


8. "I am a Barbarian polymorphed into a Sorcerer, not a real one. You have to believe me, because you know, well, Barbarians don't have Bluff as a class skill."

I'm not going to claim any originality for the above. :D

9. "You know you want to fight us without your armor on because it would look ugly on you, and you don't like knowing people think you're ugly, do you? You will also agree it's not fair to hit someone who is unarmored, just leave that weapon on the ground. Okay, almost fair... Oh, one last thing: You know victory is sweeter if you let the smaller people start. Perfect, now everyone closes their eyes and waits for the signal before they open them..."

10. "I'm not a sorcerer, but I say they should rule this city. Why? Because they are gimped and won't forget to read cookbooks since they don't have room to learn Sumon Food and Drink. Now that you're convinced, let my twin-brother rule the city, and you know you want that to happen, don't you?"

Yes, I'm not original, and I've got no problem with that. :P

True story:

11. The party's sorcerer had gained quite the reputation among the commoners, especially since it was a low-magic game, she was level 12, and that meant she was the 2nd most powerful mage in the world. The party went to a big city to rest for the night, and a crowd gathered around the sorcerer, wanting to see a magic show. She had used most of her spells in a fight earlier that day, but she finally relents, and leads the crowd to the town square. She says, "Wanna see something cool?" "YES!!" the crowd answers. "Look up there (Bluff check)." Everyone in the crowd looks up, sees nothing, and says "Coooool!!" Meanwhile, the rogue is making his way through the crowd making sleight of hand checks...

12. Epic bard, Glibness, amazing cha, a bunch of other abilities that gave him a Bluff in the...well, very large. Walks up to an unsuspecting villiage.
"You don't exist."
There's something very satisfying about having an NPC's expression being described as a "Fatal Error".
