Warpiglet-7
Cry havoc! And let slip the pigs of war!
what do you want to roleplay?
not all charctera would use persuasion to get their way. As in life, it gets you further in civilization.
but I don’t want my hypothetical mad dog barbarian to discuss options during high tea. I imagine him breaking things with his bear hands or howling like a beserker to make someone retreat.
intimidate is a discreet skill with flavor. If you want to leave threats with implication and measured language, you can do that too.
for my blade pact warlocks, I like persuasion or deception to be paires with intimidate.
5e skills are so easy to choose having both is not a big issue.
