T3 - Skills /Intimidation

Fear is not all, there is also the inferiority inspired in the sloppier dresser or etiquette-breaker to savior.

Default Attribute

Unskilled Use

You can intimidate, taunt or threaten, but always do so in an obvious and direct manner.

Physical Ability

You make others feel frightened, uncomfortable, self-conscious, or inadequate. You may do this by displaying impressive size, great skill, profound intellect, or just an indefinable quality of superiority. This is most often done using Stunts.

Once you have successfully intimidated someone, he is more likely to go along with your suggestions. This does not mean that he will automatically adhere to any request you make, but he will give it much more weight than he otherwise would have.

The Difficulty for Intimidation task checks is the Willpower or Intimidation of the subject you are attempting to intimidate. If you are attempting to intimidate a group of people at once, use the highest rating in the crowd. The GM may assess modifiers to intimidation checks based on circumstances. If you have the upper hand in a situation, or have done something threatening or inspiring, the modifier is positive. If you are in a tight spot or have just done something embarrassing or awkward, the modifier is negative. An outcome matching your target's Willpower counts as a setback and generally gets you what you want

Knowledge

You know fashions and customs, and how to look good and/or impressive in the local culture. You know which clothes to wear and how to wear them. You have a way of finding out the secret weaknesses others try to hide.

Contacts

You know people you have browbeaten in the past, and a few strong individuals who have stood up to you. Most of the people you know respect but dislike you. Intimidation really doesn't have much of a contacts element, but can modify other contacts to be more respectful and submissive.
