Intimidating Prowess added to "diplomacy" checks?

[Rain]

Sometimes I get diplomacy/intimidation checks in dialogue. One option says diplomacy and the other says Intimidation.

If I get this feat, will it basically just give me my STR modifier added to my Persuasion skill in general or will it specifically only affect the dialogue options that say "intimidate"?

Im wanting it to add it to persuasion in general so I can still choose either dialogue option with the same skill check.

Just to the Intimidate ones.

So what does this mean then for "diplomacy"? Thats just another word for your persuasion skill specifically? I dont see feats for diplomacy in the option list.

you should probably just pick skillfocus persuasion in that case (unless you already have that). i think intimidation is just your persuasion score plus special modifiers that only add to intimidation (like that intimidating presence feat), so buffing the base persuasion score (and getting more charisma) will affect both.

This is a great skill to have in this interpretation of the ruleset but it still should only be chosen and used with certain character builds. U can also build this with the rogues keen eye to get a massive bonus, but its a real concentrated build. That is the beauty in this kind of system. You can fk it up so easy but if you really look into it, you can make some magic that just seems so ridic op.

Im doing a min/max warrior build and basically only have room for one skill and have some feats left over. So persuasion is the only skill I can choose without any real negative modifiers.

I assume a warrior build isnt going to have too many SP's to assign... thats the nature of the beast. You take limited in 1-2 skills in order to get feats and be a combat monster

Yep. Thats why I wanted to know if that feat just basically gave you +str on persuasion and not just only charisma modifier.
