The Intimidate skill:
Demoralize Opponent: You can also use Intimidate to weaken an opponent’s resolve in combat. To do so, make an Intimidate check opposed by the target’s modified level check (see above). If you win, the target becomes shaken for 1 round. A shaken character takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. You can intimidate only an opponent that you threaten in melee combat and that can see you.
And then the Special Conditions Section from the SRD:
Becoming Even More Fearful: Fear effects are cumulative. A shaken character who is made shaken again becomes frightened, and a shaken character who is made frightened becomes panicked instead. A frightened character who is made shaken or frightened becomes panicked instead.
If you successfully intimidated someone in combat, then on that same round another person successfully intimdated them, do they become frightened? If they are successfully intimidated a third time do they become panicked? If so, do these conditions also only last one round as well?
I realize it is relatively unlikely that somebody will be surrounded by 3 people who all successfully intimidate him in the same round, but I just saw that little bit about becoming more fearful and got curious. Thanks for any input.

I can't see why you shouldn't be able to do so.
. I had never actually considered this though. I'll have to check with my DM to see if he allows this.
