--------------------------------------------------------------------- Skill : Intimidate Cost : 0 sp Classes : Changelings, Dragons, Monsters, Undead, Thugs, various others. Skill Type : Combat Avoidance Difficulty : Level 1 Stats Base : Strength and Constitution Resisted by : Combat, Resistance Uses : Passive or Aggressive Syntax : do intimidate (toggles intimidate between passive and aggressive) This skill has two uses, an active one and a passive one. In passive mode it merely acts to intimidate would-be attackers, preventing them from attacking you; however, by turning intimidate on (do intimidate toggles this) you also have a chance to frighten away minor foes when you enter rooms. The more hurt you are the less intimidating you are as your foes realize they may have a chance to slay you. Thugs, however, being trained specifically in the ways of intimidation and suppression remain intimidating while hurt longer than other classes that employ intimidation as a secondary skill. Additionally, thugs may use active intimidation as a way to extort additional money from some shopkeepers when selling items. Please note: Some npcs may not be intimidated, the same holds true with certain player classes such as knights. As a rule, wizards are immune to intimidate.
