[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8313655, member: 7030563"] You can use skills related to these abilities every turn in combat if you want to. I usually play a Rogue and one of them uses Charisma to either intimidate or persuade in the middle of combat regularly. He has expertise in Intimidate and a 14 Charisma and usually it is something like "We have killed half your friends, surrender now or you will die too". Occasionally he appeals to logic using persuasion/bribery and he does it in the middle of combat when it makes sense (i.e. usually after we have actually killed half of their friends). That can take out 4 or so enemies in 1 turn and is generally a lot more than any martial can do in an equivalent action. I like playing Rogues, but there is no reason you can't build a fighter to do the same thing, especially given the extra feats and maneuvers a fighter gets allowing him to leverage that better. For that matter there is no reason you can't build a strength-based Rogue "Warlord" and do that too. [/QUOTE]
