[QUOTE="Nail, post: 4825154, member: 224"] Good Question! Perhaps to help out all the DMs out there that are [COLOR="Yellow"]cowed [/COLOR]by players with PCs with super-high intimidate scores, we should make a list. :D If a PC successfully intimidates a monster:[list][*]The monster refuses to attack the intimidating PC for 1 turn, [*]The monster only attacks the PC after one of its friends successful damages the PC, [*]The monster uses a move action to shift away from the PC, [*]The monster uses all its actions that round to move away from the PC, [*]The monster is immediately slid 3 squares, with the placement determined by the DM, [*]The monster suffers a -2 to attack the PC, [*]The monster suffers a -2 to attack any PC, [*]The monster uses a defensive power, rather than an offensive one, [*]The monster offers to surrender, but readies an attack if the PC ignores the offer, [*]The monster shifts away, offers surrender, but readies an attack if attacked by any one, [*]The monster offers to switch sides, [*]The monster does total defence for one turn, [*]The monster delays until after an ally's turn, [*]Monster shifts, then readies an attack which will only go off if the PC attacks it, [*]Etc.[/list] Others?
