[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5905793, member: 35909"] 1. Yes. They're all based around using the intimidate skill to demoralize an opponent. I've used all 3 together. It's beautiful. If allowing yourself to get so many foes within 10 ft of you doesn't get you killed (can only use the skill trick 1/encounter to cower-lock all of them). Protip: The skill trick requires foes to be within 10 ft, Intimidating Strike just requires you to hit someone w/ a melee attack. If you have good reach (as simple as reach weapon + Enlarge for 20 ft reach; which is a good combo for your build anyway), use the Intimidating Strike on a foe NOT within 10 ft, and use the skill trick to mop up everyone closer to you with the cower as well. 2. Fear stacks, as long as it's from different sources (not from you or you and another guy demoralizing the same person twice, that would just make the durations overlap). So they would go to panicked and then to frightened. If you have Imperious Command, they would cower for a round, then be under their new heightened state of fear, as normal. 3. No idea, not familiar with the feat. Not many other classes I can think of. Perhaps Warlock dip for the eldritch essence that makes the victim shaken for a minute? Not sure if Hideous Blow is considered a blast shape (and thus could be used with it) or an essence (and thus could not), but Eldritch Glaive would certainly work with it. The Menacing Brute PrC in Races of Destiny gets some intimidate-related stuff, but is Half-Orc only and unlikely to fit with your background, either. If you're a good guy, have you considered Nymph's Kiss exalted feat? It's a +2 on cha skills and checks, along with bonus skill points and a +1 save bonus on spells / spell-likes. Book of Exalted Deeds also has the Resounding Blow feat. [/QUOTE]
