[QUOTE="Maidhc O Casain, post: 6106213, member: 29558"] This. Not this. For a few reasons. [LIST=1] [*]We've purposely minimized the amount we muck about with RAW for a LOT of reasons (harder for newbies to pick up everything and the Law of Unintended Consequences being the two most important for me personally). [*]The first holds true to the intended use of Charisma - force of personality. [*]Finally, if you expand Intimidating Prowess to include whatever stat you wish, you take considerable value from the stat that most folks who aren't playing a class who make primary use of CHA already use as a dump stat, and thus you devalue those CHA dependent classes somewhat. (Wow . . . that's a really confusing sentence on re-read. Sorry about that :D) [*] [/LIST] My opinion is, if you want to play an intimidating character put some points in Charisma. Or use an existing feat and put some points in STR. Or both. Either way, invest your skill points in Intimidate. Even without the first two, investing those skill points simulates taking the time and using life experience to learn the skill. [/QUOTE]
