Strength can be used to intimidate, but only if you have a way to demonstrate your strength. For instance, the big bad fighter picking up the heavy wooden chair and crushing it between his hands might do the trick. In this case, you the Intimidate check would be as normal, but with your Strength bonus as a modifier.2. Magic can also be used to intimidate, but also requires a demonstration. We generally allow the wizard or cleric a bonus equal to the spell level, with spectacular spells, or illusions thereof, up to double the level of the spell.3. We subtract the level of the character being intimidated from the bonus these two options provide. In other words, big bad wizard may well be big and bad, but the almost equally big and bad fighter he wants to intimidate will not be impressed.A failed intimidate check will generally worsen an NPC's attitude one to two steps. However, an arrogant NPC might be impressed by the PC's "spunk". It depends on whether it will help the game.</blockquote>
