Fear is a powerful tool in social interactions. If you have at least one minute to interact with someone, you may make someone temporarily more “helpful”.</onlyinclude> The base DC for this check is 15 + their level + the higher of their Strength or Constitution modifiers + any save modifiers they possess against [Fear] effects. Each intimidation attempt lowers the target’s actual attitude towards you by one step, regardless of whether the check succeeds or fails. (See [[Tome of Prowess (3.5e Sourcebook)/Affability/|Affability]] for a description of attitudes.) If you beat your target’s check result, you may treat the target as friendly towards you, but only for the purpose of actions taken while it remains intimidated. The target retains its normal attitude toward you, but will chat, advise, offer limited help, or advocate on your behalf while intimidated. The duration of this effect depends on your check result. As long as your attempt is successful and you are still present at its expiration, you are entitled to an intimidation check as a standard action to extend the effect without the normal rush penalty.
