Big Tim Sense Motive vs. Doppleganger: 1D20+1 = [13]+1 = 14

Spoiler: Big Tim

Big Tim feels the doppelganger is being genuine in its pleadings. It is likely near death and is very afraid him and the others (especially with Mutt menacing over it). Your PCs could ask it anything and it would spill its guts to improve its chances for mercy from them and the authorities later on. There is no indication that it is lying.

Posted again for Tim in the [IC] thread.

 

[Knightfall]

And I've replied.

Do you want to try to intimidate it?

 

[Knightfall]

Here are some possible subjects to ask the doppelganger about...

1. Phelix and his followers, including the correct phrase for getting into the extraplanar enclave
2. The missing guards including Nathaniel Aceron (who the PCs were tracking before the fight), Geoffrey Suggitt (the other guard from that same tower), and Titan Razeart (from the other tower under the command of Elvira Thalmann)
3. The Bluffside Regulars and Elite in Old City
4. More about the other doppelgangers in Bluffside
5. Criminals in Old City
6. The mysterious creature in the Gardens

 

[Knightfall]

Taking a break. Will be back later.

How do you handle intimidate? Is it default (CHA based)?

Yes.

Your Intimidate check vs. the doppelganger's level check. You could try Bluff or Diplomacy too, but Big Tim would have a better chance of intimidating the doppelganger.

I somewhat recall a rule variant that uses STR in a book somewhere, but I'm not which one. Maybe PHB II or Complete Warrior. I'll see if I can find it.

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

If it is STR based, Tim will do it. Because that's the way he would act. He's polite and well-mannered in court, but when it comes to "making someone talk," he would naturally try to take advantage of his size and strength.
