Are there any items that add a bonus to Diplomacy skill checks?

Just like the topic says.

I am discussing Stacking Bonuses in 3.5 in the D&D Rules forum. It should be relatively easy to make a skill bonus item for diplomacy. In 3.5, the cost is the bonus squared times 100 gold pieces. So, a +10 skill bonus item would cost 10,000 g.p. market value. (There are ways to make it cost less under the item creation rules.)

I cannot think of any specific existing items for Diplomacy. However, a Cloak of Charisma will help.

Always keep in mind that you can make just about any type of magic item that you want. This is way easier as a DM, but even as a player, it can be done.

mouthwash.

I was going to go with the cha but that gets expensive. I was thinking an item that added just to Diplomacy might be cheaper.

Although a +4 CHA item would be priceless to my cleric.

In general, it is less expensive to create an item that enhances a skill than an ability.

Try a circlet of persuasion; it adds a +2 competence bonus to charisma based checks and is relatively cheap.

I disagree with the notion that any PC can invent any new item on-demand. The "new-item-pricing-guidelines" are only in the DMG, and only for new items the DM creates, unless other wise house-ruled. Open this up fully breaks a lot of balance issues.

OA has a sash of the courtiers +10 diplomacy for 2,000 gp I believe, but that is 3.0.

I really wish I had picked one up before the campaign conversion.

I invented lots of skill boosting items in 3E, both as a PC and as a DM. These were far more fun to introduce than simple guirdles of strength.

My cleric gave her cavalier friend a Saddle of Safe Riding (+10), and was considering crafting some pants of surefootedness (+10 balance), but she found some Wings of Flying instead

I guess the hardest part is determining the prerequisite spell.

As a DM I gave a player the "Golden Crown of Far Shot", a rather large crown made of golden arrows. I didn't bother calculating the cost, since it is a unique item (and it is pure GOLD).

Golden Crown of Far Shot: When worn, gives Far Shot Feat even if prerequisites are not met. Also : +2 Spot, -2 Hide (it seems to reflect light even in darkness!).

What was funny was that it was the wild elven barbarian who found it (he wears leafs and branches as clothing, and everyday paints is face in mud).
