Diplomacy is also an Influence skill, so bonuses (even half bonuses) to it aren't useful if the skill isn't. Voice seems then mainly a bonus to Singing.

Cutting those reaction rolls doesn't mean I'm cutting all social skills, just that I'm not relying on random tables as much as logical progression. Quick contests like Diplomacy are just as valid as ever.

Thanks for the reference. I don't have Action 1 (my last purchase was Psionic Powers, which will apply to this campaign), but I think one of my future players might so I'll be sure to look that up.

That reminds me, I saw a leveled version of High Pain Threshold somewhere that helped me understand better what it does and how to apply it (especially in cheaper, more limited part), but can't seem to search it out.
