[QUOTE="ForbidenMaster, post: 4204006, member: 63213"] If any skill can work in any given situation then the game is broken and makes no sense what so ever. You should not be able to intimidate everyone in order to get what you want in every situation. If the above is not true, then the game makes no sense. Al you would ever have to do is use your best skill no matter what the situation is. Have to convince a duke to let you use his guards but have the most ranks in stealth, use stealth. Have to escape from the town without getting caught, but you have the most ranks in heal, use heal. Its simple, there are skills that can not be used in given situations, which is what defines skills in the first place. It just so happens that in the template given, intimidating the duke doesnt work in the PCs favor. Whats wrong with that? And you know what, saying that I have to let my Duke be intimidated by a bunch of PCs when he has legions of guards at his command is ridiculous and I find that to be a lot worse and more restrictive then the choice to have use of certaint skills go badly for the PCs.
