That's why they shouldn't change the ac willy-nillyAs for this "strategy" you've worked out. You've taken a skill option, and have decided that since you min/maxed the heck out of your character that the DM has to suck it up and let you intimidate your way through campaigns. Any DM worth his salt is going to set a DC that you can't accomplish in certain circumstances for a few reasons1. If you roll above a 4 and can end a combat instantly (even if the enemy is bloodied) that's not challenging and less fun for the group as a whole2. It doesn't make sense. You aren't going to make an Otyugh bow to your will just because you are scary. In that scenario I would set the DC much higher than their will, because surrendur simply isn't something they do.3. You making the rest of your party useless after your enemies are bloodied 4/5  the time is not fun for everyone else.Is a good DM going to let your min/max go to waste, of course not. Is a good DM going to let you win most battles through intimidate, of course not.</blockquote>
