Key Attribute: Charisma.

This is the ability to inspire fear, awe, or submission in others through your presence, tone, and actions. With this skill, you can attempt to cow, bully, or demoralize your enemies, making them more likely to surrender, retreat, or become disheartened. Intimidation can also be used to assert dominance in social situations, command respect, or extract information from reluctant sources. A high Intimidation skill allows you to project an aura of menace, making others more receptive to your demands or more hesitant to cross you.

You can use Intimidation to attempt to Calm or Frighten a Foe, to Make a Request or to Make an Impression. However, most of these actions have negative repercussions. While fear can more easily force an opponent to do as you wish, it does not help build long lasting relationships.
