You've just successfully argued that implying that an organisation not directly under your control might do something is within the bounds of intimidate.And for the record - yeah, it's fine if there are some individuals who are basically sociopaths and for whom one particular social skill won't work, but it should be an exception to the rule. Saying that basically anyone in any position of power is immune to intimidate is rubbish, and putting an automatic fail on intimidate in one of the examples of skill checks means that it becomes the accepted state of affairs. All of a sudden every adventure will specify that intimidate doesn't work any time the writer thinks that the person involved is the slightest bit brave.Something makes me doubt that people would be so happy if the example stipulated that bluff or diplomacy never work on the NPC.</blockquote>
