Any help appreciated
Access to the glibness spell would certainly be nice. Beguiler and bard both get it as a 3rd-level spell. A cleric can get it from the commerce domain as a 4th-level spell. The recaster prestige class also gets it, since it gets all spells.
The dragon, envy, or trickery domain will add bluff to your cleric class skills. A cleric with the commerce and envy domains has a nice “I want it all, and I want it now” feel to it. You'd want one of the methods of spontaneously casting domain spells.

While Face First is a good example, the Uncanny Trapsmith is also a damn good talker - its entire schtick (outside of its traps) is social camouflage. See my signature for both of them. Note that they're both RadicalTaoist's.
Another possibility is the most extreme diplomancer you can get, which is the Half-Elf Hippie:
1) Half-elf Bard 1 (Soothing Voice substitution level), Extra Music.
2) Marshal 1, Motivate Charisma aura. (Bonus feat: Skill Focus: Diplomacy.)
3) Warlock 1, Beguiling Influence invocation, (any feat of your choice; I like Undead Empathy or another Extra Music.)
4) Binder 1, forge pacts with Naberius.
Voila, anything you fight has to make a Will save equal to your Diplomacy check (which, assuming 15 Charisma at level 1, is now +22) or stop fighting. Anything NOT fighting you goes from Hostile to Indifferent (or from Unfriendly to Friendly, or from Indifferent to Helpful) in just one action, since you can rush a diplomacy check at no penalty and take 10 on the result. This only gets better from here, particularly if you migrate into Exemplar.
Assuming that you put all of your boons from class levels and the paragon boons into charisma, your looking at a charisma score of 21 at 10th level, so adding onto the outline Tempest laid out by 10th level you would have a diplomacy modifier of +35 that you can take 10 on anytime as long as you are bound to Naberius (13 ranks, +5 cha, +5 motivate cha, +3 racial, +3 from skill focus, +6 from Beguiling influence= 35 total modifier), and that's without any magical gear such as a cloak of charisma or a choker of eloquence.
What about changling rougue sub
Read. The. Links. We use that quite a lot. It's one of the defining points of the Uncanny Trapsmith I suggested, which is amazing at social tasks due to its prodigious skill selection.
Lock plz

I've got to be honest; I can't read a line like that without considering the possibility that you're drunk.

If only that was the alcohol...
I have never played D&D under the influence and I'm kinda wondering how such a session would turn out.
You did once, although it was Sionnis who was drunk (due to an earlier event in the evening). It devolved into in-character out-of-continuity slapstick.
And coincidentally, that one included:
The Radical Taoist: Dang. It's gonna have to be me running a game if we're to keep playing.

Technically, that was Sionnis under the influence, and we didn't try to make the session happen seriously. I have always been stone sober, though I'm not sure ORPG would be a good medium for a game buzzed. Maybe IRL.
(Dayvid was my CN gnome shadowcraft mage. I think it's safe to say he was a mad genius, though accounts differ on the balance of power between those two adjectives. There actually was a "secret decoder ring" of sorts that let you decipher his motives, but no one ever figured out what it was.)
I remain skeptical as to the existence of this "decoder ring", but I don't think you knew all of Dayvid's motives, and I wouldn't be surprised if Dayvid didn't either. Tricksy little gnome.
From what I can gather, Warrior got hit with a natural 20 when he did not want to get hit with a natural 20 and this character of his is toast.

I mentioned in another thread one of my games where we ended up with a quasi-deity of bagpipes in the party, taking over Hell, and remaking Dragonlance in our image (which apparently involved breeding plaid kobolds, incidentally)? That is what happens when you have a DM heavily under the influence (not me) and a player mildly buzzed.
the only key difference is that due to your advanced focus into diplomacy with the build we threw at you is that you would have very little combat effectiveness aside from possibly talking the enemy out of fighting, and I already covered how that could turn out with some creative DM insight (baring the half elf bard substitution level power anyway). I would suggest asking your DM to reconsider his ruling as it's a little unfair, I mean I can think of at least 4 or 5 different ways to wind up being a good diplomat at lower levels, the method makes little difference when it's up to him to determine the end result of an attempt at diplomatic action.
