Fellow villagers are better than unknown people.  Unknown people are better than enemies. Example:  You tell a priest in front of the faithful that he realy doesn't want to not let you in to sleep for the night, getting out of the rain and cold, because his people won't still see him as the pious person he pretends to be.     Coercion allows the character to double his CHA mod when using it on his Intimidation check, but the check has to be centered around verbal insults and deep, biting remarks. Exmaple:  I'm sure you can think of a thousand ways to implement this feat.   What do you guys think of that?</blockquote>
