The DC is typically 10 + the target's Hit Dice. Any bonuses that a target may have on saving throws against fear increase the DC.Retry: Generally, retries do not work. Even if the initial check succeeds, the other character can only be intimidated so far, and a retry doesn't help. If the initial check fails, the other character has probably become more firmly resolved to resist the intimidator, and a retry is futile.Special: If the character has 5 or more ranks in Bluff , the character gets a +2 synergy bonus on Intimidate checks.From the Mirriam- Webster Dictionary: INTIMIDATE implies inducing fear or a sense of inferiority into another -------For the above example, the goblin felt so inferior from the fighter than it ran in fear.  Natural reaction.In my game I would allow Intimidate to go as is.  The target may roll a sense motive first, if it beats the DC 20 which is for a hunch, he gets a +2 on an opposed intimidate roll since he suspects that the person is just trying to intimidate him.</blockquote>
