[QUOTE="Arabesu, post: 4167525, member: 534"] OOC sure, but I have to give a cookie to those characters who, unlike hightower, are optimized for other things. Since there is a limited amount of resources, i.e. stats, skill points, and feats, it is presumed that if you are optimized for intimidate or diplomacy then you are less optimized for combat and vice versa. The ramifications of being less optimized for combat manifest MUCH more often that the ramifications of being less optimized for social interactions, so I think you have little room to complain. Intimidate is a class skill for fighters and barbarians; its their one "social" option. If its any consolation I had planned on giving you a nice circumstance bonus for your well honed speech. Unfortunately the dice weren't with you. That sucks. However, because of size differences (+4) and your speech (+4) and roll (3) you get a 11. Enough to give Rosa a +2 bonus from aiding another, good cop, bad cop style, or to force him to make his wisdom check to save versus your intimidate.
