[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7713861, member: 6801845"] I would say that they do not believe the Balor can be intimidated by mere mortals. Especially mortals that he has absolutely no reason to fear. Now ... add in some creative use of illusion, some RP, maybe a thaumaturgy spell along with some deception checks? Maybe they can convince the Balor that Darth Bader (or whoever is in charge of the place) is pissed at his subordinate that is daring to his lord why he's personally escorting prisoners. It's called having a fun creative solution to the problem. It's not that they can't bypass the Balor. It's just that they can't [I]automatically [/I]bypass the Balor without my cheating/modifying the creature) with a simple die roll. Or lack of a die roll because there's no way I can counter the power.* But auto-win? That's [I]boring[/I]. Especially because in many situations it would be the most optimal use of an action. Every round. [I]Boring[/I]. [I]*And yes, I do consider these feats to effectively be 4E powers without that label. They are magically intimidating their target without using magic.[/I] [/QUOTE]
