He's not&lt;br&gt;so big!&quot; The thing about this is that it really helps put into&lt;br&gt;control those classes that employ intimdation as a secondary&lt;br&gt;skill - such as ghouls, worms, etc. This helps on some level&lt;br&gt;to slow down intimdate stabbing for those classes that have a bevy&lt;br&gt;of other skills.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So what's the problem with this? The problem is how it affects&lt;br&gt;thugs - a class who strictly use intimidate as their form of&lt;br&gt;stealth. All thugs have is intimidate and bludgeon, period.&lt;br&gt;Therefore, 1 blast on a thug and his intimidate is basically&lt;br&gt;so bad he may never get you to back down again. I tested this&lt;br&gt;against 19+2 (equal level) thug vs. wimpy (scared) classes like&lt;br&gt;mages, the thug was able to intimidate nicely up until about&lt;br&gt;80% health at which point the mage could get through almost all&lt;br&gt;blasts. The point / problem really is that by the time the&lt;br&gt;thug is down to about 40% health I could never get the mage or&lt;br&gt;other classes I tried this again to backdown at all. Without&lt;br&gt;intimidate, the thug cannot bludgeon, and the thug becomes a&lt;br&gt;melee crapmancer. Again, this is where other classes can employ&lt;br&gt;their active skills and thugs get screwed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;OK, enuff motivation. Intimidate has been changed FOR THUGS&lt;br&gt;so that the intimidate reduction they see due to being hurt is&lt;br&gt;less than anyone else who uses intimidate. This hopeffully will&lt;br&gt;make thugs more viable again. They were always a fine class&lt;br&gt;while above 80% health, this should make that again fine to more&lt;br&gt;like 20% health. Anyway, test it out, let's see how it goes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; - Razan.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
