Halfling Intimidate Penalties

[Taerdra]

Does anyone know what the actual penalties are? I believe that they are -4 versus normal opponents (humans, etc.) and -8 versus giants, ogres, dragons, etc.

Is that correct?

Yes. -4 Four for every class size above you. So a medium size gets +4 vs Kobolds.

Yeah you should see my penalty vs the Stormreaver sometimes I hit it out of reflexes, oh well just gotta do it the old fashioned way by beating the snot out of him.

Have any halfers tried saying "I'm going to eat your leg, you giant entree!"?

A halfling's appetite is about the only scary thing about him....

Intimidate vs. Xy'zzy (-12 or -16 for Gargantuan size)

You managed to necro a nearly three years old thread. Hound was added the summer after the creation of this thread, even.

I was interested to see this. I find no information on the character section of the compendium regarding any penalties at all to intim for a halfling.

it does say they are small creatures and gain 1 to ac over all...

I can see it making some sense, but the difference to be 4 is a bit much... I think it should stay the same as a human.

figure it this way, the human sized does the intim and the mob gets scared or realizes a huge threat..

the halfling does intim and the mob, who would normally add a -4 to the intim check stops and says...'awwwww cute little bugger' or 'just starts laughing' as the little halfling all dressed up in toy armor goes 'grrrrrrrr.....' and looks mean.


Edit: think of the cat rogue fighter in shrek....those eyes...that dashing swagger....either you laugh or go awwwww...
Either way, you are totally transfixed...perhaps halflings should get +4 to intim over others..?

[Stermlin]

Heck, if anything Halflings should have bonuses to their intimidate. You ever have one of those little bastards rabbit hump your leg??!?!?

*shudder*
