[QUOTE="HammerMan, post: 8474693, member: 84112"] yes, but the game actually has a skill we can fall back on that is (in some rather vauge general way) supposed to represent how intimidating someone can make themselves... and epically when trained I assume that creature (PC/NPC) has trained a bit in how to do it. Where I agree you I, chris, and becky all find different things scary, I would be VERY broken out of a batman movie if the first time he appears in a shadowy jump scare way none of the criminals flinched... okay I can accept that. I can even except if every now and then a player (or a DM) just out right says "No, that just isn't going to do it" the same way I some times as a DM look at someone weird when they ask if they can have the AC of the moon (old 3e joke) or anything like that... no auto fail is built into the system. Yes auto succuss is built into the system (and my own house rule of no roll needed for any dc less then 10 if trained is even MORE liberal then the defualt that has DCs to roll of 5) actually that WAS my point what happened and how I reacted may not always be predictable, and it for sure is not always the way you or anyone else will react. depends, for the most part we just ask the person playing that character, yes that is what I have been saying... Orc/Dragon intimidates succubuss seduces king makes a persuasive argument now you decide how you react to this stimuli. BUT the orc can FAIL to intimidate, and I think with a +2 giving him a range of 3-22 is pretty big, and that is where the die comes in sometimes... no it isn't I have back it up multi times [/QUOTE]
