[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8064759, member: 6801228"] Minor quibble Bane is supposed to be incredibly intelligent. Supposedly he has gotten less so from continued drug use, but he is supposed to be a genius level intellect. But, this is my point. Batman intimidates the Joker, and nothing happens. The Joker doesn't fear him, so it won't work as a skill. The same thing happens in DnD in, frankly, a lot of cases. LOL, Are you referring to this? I thought this was one example to be honest, and it was confusing. If it was meant to be two, that makes a bit more sense. Okay, I can see the point of the second example. Intimidating someone by making them feel inferior in skill set to you. Not sure what the first one is supposed to be though. Are we the noble or the commoner? I guess if the idea is "our social class is too different" that sort of works? I guess I'm used to seeing that tactic used as a belittlement of the other person, a dismissal of them, but not so much as an intimidation of them. I can see the angle of it though. Okay, I can see using your prestige and position to enforce social norms on someone. Pretty high level use though isn't it? I don't mean the noble title, that can happen anytime, but if you want to say use your prestige as a group, "Oh, we are the Crimson Blades, who are you?" You do sort of need to be powerful and famous for that to work. [/QUOTE]
