Re: Binding Question
Unless it says so, checks don't auto-succeed or fail. As far as I know, it doesn't say so for binding checks.

Re: Binding Question
you're making a diplomacy skill check, therefore it is a skill check, therefore it does not auto fail or succeed.

Re: Binding Question
Here is a relevant quote on attack rolls:
A natural 1 (the d20 comes up 1) on an attack roll is always a miss. A natural 20 (the d20 comes up 20) is always a hit.A natural 1 (the d20 comes up 1) on a saving throw is always a failure (and may cause damage to exposed items; see Items Surviving after a Saving Throw). A natural 20 (the d20 comes up 20) is always a success.Unlike with attack rolls and saving throws, a natural roll of 20 on the d20 is not an automatic success, and a natural roll of 1 is not an automatic failure.
The roll in question is neither an attack roll, nor saving throw, nor skill check. It is a Binder level check, which is closer to a skill or ability check than an attack or save. As such, the general rule - roll, add and subtract, check the total - ought to apply, rather than the automatic success or failure rule, which is an explicit and specific exception.My headache medicine has a little "Ex" inscribed on the pill. It's not a brand name; it's an indicator that it works inside an Anti-Magic Field.
