[QUOTE="snickersnax, post: 7835154, member: 6888204"] I like this idea. The out of combat skill that I associate with real-life fighting is recognizing and being physically dominate. The fighter's social dominance reflects that mind set. It isn't the witty persuasion of a bard, or the cunning deception of a rogue or the social haggle of a merchant. The fighter uses confident intimidation, in its most subtle form others don't recognize even they are intimidated, because this is not a deceptive intimidation where you are trying to make yourself seem more powerful than you are, it is a pure-truth intimidation where you are just stating facts and consequences. A smart fighter will know the outcome of the fight before the fight happens. So a smart fighter only takes the fights he knows he has already won. Confident of his ability to predict outcomes he is able to convince other to surrender without a fight. So perhaps Know Your Enemy could result in an additional mechanical benefit like advantage on intimidation if the information you gather demonstrates that you are stronger. [/QUOTE]
