It is limited, but one of my characters has it, so it is out there. It works very well in combo with Intimidate - my Bard/Marshal has it and a high Intimidate score. You shake 'em up with Daunting Presence, then panic them with Intimidate.
LachlarlanIII 01-05-07, 09:51 AM	I wonder... Was this build inspired by something I said? Hmm? :) Anyway, one of the legal Dragon Magazine feats (Raider's Spirit) gives +2 Init, +2 Intimidate. Edit: I would consider taking the fourth level of Menacing Brute just for the +4 bonus on critical confirmations with all weapons that actually stacks with the Power Critical feat.

Yeah, it may be more useful, but I basically just put that together to see the highest I could get intimidate without marshal or too much charisma investment.

Race: Half-Orc Str 17, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 8, Cha 10 1: Barbarian 1 - Intimidating Strike 2: Fighter 1 - *Power Attack 3: Fighter 2 - Iron Will, *Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Bastard Sword) 4: Fighter 3 - Str 18 5: Fighter 4 - *Weapon Focus (Bastard Sword) 6: Menacing Brute 1 - Extra Rage 7: Menacing Brute 2 8: Menacing Brute 3 - Str 19 9: Menacing Brute 4 - Intimidating Rage 10: Exotic Weapon Master 1 11: Exotic Weapon Master 2 12: Fighter 5 - Reckless Rage, Str 20 13: Fighter 6 - Weapon Specialization (Bastard Sword) 14: Fighter 7 15: Fighter 8 - Menacing Demeanor, *Melee Weapon Mastery (Slashing) *Fighter Bonus Feat. Exotic Weapon Master Tricks - Uncanny Blow, Show Off. This build, at 15th, only has a +28 bonus to Intimidate checks, but is making checks with each successful swing of its sword. While Raging this build can have around +30 to hit before Power Attacking, and deal around 1d10+25+1d6 while two-handing its weapon. Low saves are the biggest liability to this build.
