Message: <blockquote data-quote="Quickleaf" data-source="post: 6065218" data-attributes="member: 20323">I've got two thoughts on this:First, it seems to be implied by the rules that intimidation doesn't work on PCs at all. This is supported in the 3.5e DMG which states on page 149 that "NPCs can never use a Charisma check to influence PC attitudes. The players always decide their characters' attitudes."It is also hinted at under the PFSRD entry for Diplomacy (<a href="http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/skills/diplomacy.html#_diplomacy" target="_blank">http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/skills/diplomacy.html#_diplomacy</a>) which states: "You can change the initial attitudes of non-player characters with a successful check."That said, it really is one of those areas where the DM gets to make a judgment call on how the rules are supposed to work. Perhaps talk it over with your players to see what they prefer?It sounds like the paladin has been captured and is being interrogated/tortured for info? One way of side-stepping the issue is to run a rescue mission session where the paladin player takes on an NPC. If they rescue the paladin PC before the end of the session he didn't crack under the bugbear torturer, but if thy don't reach him in time then the paladin cracks.</blockquote>
