But what the "no intimidate" is actually to represent is this:Celebrim said:I think people are commenting on the fact that Intimidate - being a social skill - is seemingly well suited to a social challenge. It may be true that the Duke is difficult to intimidate (because he is a stern, proud, honorable, and patriotic person), or particularly difficult to intimidate by the PC's (who may be his social and legal inferiors, who may be of lower level, and so forth), and naturally people react badly when you try to intimidate them but fail. But, suggesting that something is very difficult is quite different than suggesting that it is impossible. 'Impossible' is a word that generally means, 'the plot is on rails', as in, 'You can't march through these woods, its impossible.... No, you can't chop a path through the woods either, its impossible...no you can't go over these mountains except on the road, its impossible'
"Sure, you can use the northern passage over the Mountain of Doom. But it won't bring you closer to the Tomb of Despair, since that one is south!"
