![]() Maneuvers from Tome of Battle can complement you well. Group Fake-Out can tack on hefty penalties if feinting a lot of enemies at once, but can be combined with Corsair's Feint to deprive an entire group of enemies their dex to AC with a mere free action once/encounter.įor the late levels, while it would hurt your sneak attack and possibly cause brief multiclassing penalties (until you hit Warblade 2 and thus were Rogue 4 / Swash 3 / Warblade 2, with Rogue counting as favored class), look into Warblade. Never Outnumbered is awesome to do an area Intimidate (and can be used with Intimidating Strike for a multiround duration), though eventually Scourge of the Seas will make it obsolete. Skill tricks are your friend, look in Complete Scoundrel. When you demoralize an opponent from now on, he cowers for one round before becoming shaken, leaving enemies ripe for the picking. It's just a really, really good intimidate feat. Imperious Command (Drow of the Underdark): Despite the book it's from, the feat has no flavor or mechanical connection to the drow or the underdark. The main benefit is that the fear lasts the entire combat, instead of a hardly-worth-it one round. You can even take an attack penalty to gain an Intimidate bonus, but I'd rather just twink my Intimidate mod, rather than risk missing entirely. Intimidating Strike (PHB 2): Standard action strike that if it hits, lets you roll to demoralize (as written, it does not restrict you to the target, if you can demoralize an area in a single action) as a free action. The entire tactial feat is all about new uses for Intimidate and Bluff, your bread and butter skills. 3.5 WARBLADE BUILD MODFeats to look for:Ĭombat Panache (PHB 2): Gives you a play dead ability, an Intimidate ability to cause the target to suffer your charisma mod as a penalty on his attacks, and an ability to make allies hit each other. I'm less familiar with Feint optimization. 3.5 WARBLADE BUILD PCI happen to be building a fear-based martial PC myself right now, so I can recommend some things. I like Uncanny Dodge, so I'd try to get to Rogue 4 before doing Scarlet Corsair and top out with more Swashbuckler at the late levels, myself. Make sure to get an Arcane Stunt instead of the Grace +1 as a Swashbuckler, and consider more Rogue and less Swashbuckler, though if you don't care much about skill points, maybe stick with the current setup. ![]()
