I read Rich Burlew's Diplomacy rules, and while I guess they are better than the Core ones I don't see why it is touted as fixing a Diplomancer...
either you can stack bonuses to Diplomacy which means that until you start adding 100+ to the DC it doesn't matter what the DC is or you just go back to fiat and say that what is being asked for is not going to be given up by the target no matter what skill check you make.
