Influence Opponent's Attitude

You can use Intimidate to force an opponent to act friendly toward you for 1d6 x 10 minutes with a successful check. To determine the DC of this check, refer to the following links:

• A player attempting to influence a monster's attitude must succeed on an Average Skill Check DC against the CR of the monster he is targeting.
• A monster attempting to influence a player's attitude must succeed on an Average Skill Check DC against the level of the player character it is targeting.

• Success: If successful, the opponent will:
  • give you information you desire
  • take actions that do not endanger it
  • offer other limited assistance

After the intimidate expires, the target treats you as unfriendly and may report you to local authorities.

• Fail: If you fail this check by 5 or more, the target attempts to deceive you or otherwise hinder your activities.

• Action Using Intimidate to change an opponent's attitude requires 1 minute of conversation.

• Retry? You can attempt to intimidate an opponent again, but each additional check increases the DC by +5. This increase resets after one hour has passed.
