Hey guys, I was thinking about taking Intimidating Strike for one of my characters and I had a couple of questions as to how the opposed check works. From the Players Handbook:

"Your intimidate check is opposed by the target's modified level check (1d20 + character level or Hit Dice + target's Wisdom bonus [if any] + target's modifiers on saves against fear)."

It says that the target applies it's "Wisdom bonus [if any]" and "modifiers on saves against fear". Does this mean that the Wisdom is applied twice (once for the Wisdom bonus and once again for the Will Save)? For that matter, does the Will Save modifier count as part of "the modifiers on saves against fear"?

Modifiers against fear effects would be like being in a paladin's aura of courage, being the subject of bless, or being affected by a bard's inspire courage.

So the normal Will Save doesn't count as a "modifier on saves against fear" (besides the Wisdom bonus)?
