He doesn't pull the gun on them, but he scares them.Intimidate could neutralize a threat. Two seasoned fighters look at one another from across the room. They both roll intimidation checks. If one fails, the other guy thinks he can take the first. IF both fail, then they're not sure about the other. If both succeed, then they're likely sure that each other can be their equal, likely nod to eachother in respect, and go on.When Dirty Hairy pulled the 'Well, Do you feel lucky, Punk', that was Intimidate. Intimidate is the presence which you hold. Imagine a sorceror walking into a bar, sitting down with the people who are hunting him, and say "Back off." "No."And he proceeds to call up a little bit of black flame into his fingers. He raises an eyebrow.Now, you roll an Intimidate check. An 'I will Mess You Up', without even saying anything.I imagine the Mafia (There is no halfling mafia!) would use a lot of Intimidate.</blockquote>
