You can use Intimidate to instill fear in your opponent, making him to less effective in combat.

If you are successful against an Average DC for the CR of the creature affected, the target is Shaken for one round. If your roll beats a Hard DC, the target is shaken for 2 rounds, and if your roll beats an Impossible DC, the target is Shaken for the rest of the encounter. You can only threaten an opponent this way if it is within 30 feet and can clearly see and hear you. Using demoralize more than once on the same creature only replaces the duration with the new duration; it does not create a stronger fear condition.

Action Required:

Standard Action

DC of Check:
  • A player attempting to demoralize a creature must roll a Average DC vs. the CR of the target creature. Higher successes increase the length of the shaken condition.
  • Monsters and NPC's who wish to demoralize a PC must target a DC of either 10 + half the PC's level + the PC's Strength modifier, or 10 + the PC's Might bonus, whichever is higher.
