Rolling a diplomatic character in nwn2

[miles teg]

So, I'm starting now the vanilla campaign (the idea is to play this first and then go to motb which everyone say it's good) and I have a question about my build.

I like to play diplomatics characters AND I love playing spellcasters so I was thinking about rolling a sorc.

My question is: do I need diplomacy, bluff and intimidate to fully enjoy my diplomatic character, or is diplomacy alone good enough?

Asking just because I need to decide how many point to allocate into Int.

Oh and any idea about which skills are mandatory for sorcs? In Nwn 1 it was just concentration and spellcraft, what about it here?

Diplomacy alone should cover you for most situations, bluff and intimidate are used but fucking rarely, though I think they all get a lot more play in MotB if I remember right.

Yeah concentration and spellcraft are main two for spellies, sometimes throw a bit into tumble just to escape AoO. Might be worth plotting out your advancement before you start, choosing what prestige you wanna go for and route to get there, or sometimes winging it is more fun I admit. Oh and grab some appropriate crafting if you want, though game provides adequate crafters in both base and expansion.
