[QUOTE="doctormandible, post: 4203921, member: 63822"] The Great Unthinking Duke?? Intimidate: The NPC refuses to be intimidated by the PCs. Each use of this skill earns a failure. Really?? Here's my setup: The PCs are 25th level. Kingdoms rise and fall at their whim. All but the mightiest foes cower at their name. The PCs discover that this Duke has valuable information. Rather than kill him outright, they mention that they will spare his life - this time - if he gives them the information they require. RESULT: The Duke refuses to be intimidated by the PCs. Each use of this skill earns a failure.and the PCs earn a failure. (WHAT?!?!) Point is, this is not a level specific encounter. I certainly hope that this is not indicative of more 3.x shortsighted jilting of high-powered campaigns, ala Epic Level Handbook. [/QUOTE]
