Especially when they can't understand your spoken words. Nah, because your fighter doesn't want to provoke violence at the moment or cause any brawl fights. If you're a monk, you may just kill the man immediately. And who says only drunk people are idiots? Regular, sober people are also idiots who won't back down from a fight. I agree, it's very absurd the types of battles people will try to fight. But until you get across that you can knock them out by looking at them, it's best to intimidate and scare them away. Maybe his friends won't pick on you either when they get the message. If you think you can get away with being nice to everyone without getting beat-up, you've probably haven't been nice to the wrong people. Failing a persuasion check can very much get you beat up and thrown in captivity or just plain killed. Same as intimidation. It all depends on the situation and the DM.</blockquote>
