In Pathfinder there are rules for Intimidate and Bluff in combat. The player rolled to intimidate a goblin. He rolled a 6. I was going to just wave it off, as that wouldn't have beaten my first instinctive DC of 10. But then I thought,  no, that should be an opposed roll Wisdom save. Still probably won't work. But I believe if you give up your action, you should at least maybe have a chance. I mean, he could have hit it with his warhammer or firebolted the goblin So I rolled. A 2. -1 Wisdom. 1. Okay...so now what? No rules for this. I decided on a success the target is Frightened of you for 1 round. But that was such a failed save! So maybe fail by 5 or more, Frightened for 1d4 rounds (rolled a 3).I have had characters want to roll Diplomacy and have ruled it won't work unless you spend an action. I did use a DC then, maybe 15? No one has succeeded, so I haven't had to decide what happens.Bluff and Sense Motive I might give advantage on your attack, or disadvantage on their attack (like a free Dodge). Should be opposed rolls. (BvSM or SMvSM?)So anyone else have ideas of what they do for Intimidate, Bluff, Diplomacy, and even Sense Motive in combat? Diplomacy I might be more stuck on.Sent from my SM-G900P using <a href="http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=93205" target="_blank">EN World mobile app</a></blockquote>
