Can a Pure Soul Intimidate

[Djeserit]

I wanted to play a favored sould who could intimidate, heal, do some crowd control or offensive casting, in that order. The idea being to have the FvS resists, DR, and self heal, and be able to heal in a group that is fairly experienced and self-sufficient.

But to get the DR, you have to be pure FvS. Intimidate is not a class skill, so it's a bit of a problem. I'm just wondering, is there a viable way to do this?


easy to get...
11 Ranks
4 greater heroism (self buffed with gird)
15 item bonus
3 level 2 shroud item
1 luck (VOM)

2 capstone if you take silver flame

a little harder...
3 tier III shoud item (cost 2 or 3 large scales)
1 luck (head)

if you are human
5 skill boost


let's assume
5 20 CHA

that's 50 intimidate at end game, probably not near enough, so..

feats (are these worth it?)
3 skill focus
2 dragon mark
2 bullheaded

and you might get
2 bard song

Is 59 a viable intimidate? Is there a better way to do this? Do I have to splash?

My current FvS is built with intim (WF).

50 intim is very viable for all trash- which is where I plan to use it most. 59 is good enough to be useful on some raids.

As long as you can heal yourself pretty well enough, DR is not that critical UNLESS you loves to melee a lot. Check this out.
