[QUOTE="Gradine, post: 7094143, member: 57112"] This is precisely the DMing style that I'm advocating. You can't seem to get past the idea that we're making this ruling for no other reason but to screw over the player or saying "because I said so". This is so far from what anybody on this thread, on any side, has been advocating that I can only believe it is an intentional strawman. Please drop this line of argument because literally nobody is advocating for this. This is [I]especially[/I] exasperating because the example you've been using to explain why these feats are problematic are actually completely logical. The powerful evil warlord should not be intimidated by a low-level scrub in the span of three-someodd-seconds in the middle of a fight. The rules say that the DM determines whether the outcome is uncertain before calling for a roll; they are well within their powers to declare there to be no chance of success; the DM is the ultimate arbiter of all ability checks and nothing within these feats have convinced me otherwise.
