How much intimidate?

[Thrudh]

How much does one need to....

Intimidate the lieutenants in the Shroud?
Intimidate the Pit Fiend in the Shroud?

Intimidate the Hound?

Intimidate the Orthans in VoD?
Intimidate Sulu in VoD?

Normal, Hard, Elite?

I know halflings get a minus -4 for being small... What about dwarves?

[Aspenor]

Intimidate the lieutenants in the Shroud?50ish?
Intimidate the Pit Fiend in the Shroud?54 i think

Intimidate the Hound?52 i think

Intimidate the Orthans in VoD?around 45
Intimidate Sulu in VoD?54ish

Normal, Hard, Elite?no clue

approximations in red

[Alcides]

Dwarves do not take a penalty to intimidate for being small, they are considered medium size albeit a little stocky. If you're planning on making an intimitank, I'd recommend dwarf or human. Humans can get an intimidate around 60 with Mark of the Sentinel, Bull Headed, and Skill Focus: Intimidate.

[Thrudh]

Intimidate the lieutenants in the Shroud? 50ish?

I think that one is way too high... I know I've intimidated the devil and orthan (not once, but over and over to hold them in place) with just a 40 intimidate on normal.

Thanks for the other numbers...

Yeah, Asp's number for that one is way too high. I'd put it in the mid 40's

[Aspenor]

eh, that's why i called them approximations

wild guesses from experience might have been more appropriate.

[Vorn]

39 works fine on the devil and orthon lt's in the shroud on normal even on a "1". It also worked on the orthons in VoD on normal and hard without missing (I was surprised on the VoD hard, but then I don't think I remember seeing a roll less than a "5" which can affect the outcome).

[Thrudh]

So how do people get 54 Intimidate anyway?

19 skill
15 item
4 Greater Heroism
2 Recitation or Head of Good Fortune (both are luck bonuses right?)
5 CHA (need a 20 CHA for this)
4 Intimidate enhancements
3 Skill Focus: Intimidate
2 BullHeaded

54 --- Heh, never mind, answered my own question...

Problem is, my guy is mostly barbarian and doesn't have the two extra feats for SF: Intimidate or BullHeaded, plus his CHA is terrible (Only a 14 even with a +6 CHA ring)

So my max Intimidate is currently 46...

Any other ways to raise Intimidate?

[Aspenor]

Green steel Wiz VI/SP +Charisma skill items.

AEE or +EE all the way up the ladder

Yes they do. But only against partiucularly large creatures. Xy'zzy, Suulomades, the Storm Reaver, and Arraetrikos all fall into that category.

Ah, I forgot about that...

Guess I should have taken the cleansing item instead of the +3 STR tome at my 20th Shroud run...

[Blazer]

Keep in mind the +6 CHA skills item is not something you'd need to wear full-time either. My intim build has the +6 CHA skills item. I use it for VoD and HoX, but don't bother with it for the Shroud; I keep my neg-neg goggles on instead.

[Nikorr123]

suul on elite 54 -4 for size = 50

50 +1 success

hound is tough elite get a -12 to intimidate check (42 if you started at 54) and i believe he is right around 60 to grab could be mistaken.

I dunno normal less than elite.

[Borror0]

So how do people get 54 Intimidate anyway?

I walk around with 52 Intimidate... I'm happy of it.

[incubo]

I have a 40 when buffed up! It works for exactly what I need it to do.

Against a boss, not as useful, just gotta keep swinging harder
