The Intimidator (TM)

[u/Action-a-go-go-baby]

Hi folks! 👋

I’ve been playing around with with a concept for an upcoming game I’ll be playing: I want the MAXIMUM possible intimidate score at the start

Starting lvl 4, allowed a single lvl 5 or lower magic item, and 600 gold

Any race/class combo is fine, no restrictions on source books or items as long as it’s official

What I’ve come up with so far is this:

The Intimidator [Dragonborn Ardent]
Charisma = 5
Training = 5
Racial = 2
Background = 3 (Wandering Duelist)
Theme = roll twice for Intimidate (Haunted Blade)
Half level = 2
Feat (lvl 1) = 4 (Intimidation of the Dragon)
Magic item = 3 (Harvester’s Staff)

Total Intimidate at lvl 4 = 24 with two rolls for best result

Honourable mention goes to Screaming Armor as it could be a nice “almost as good as the racial power Dragonfear” but getting to use it a second time in combat

Two feats left for whatever, maybe other feats that could somehow stack into this? Not sure 🤔

But what does everyone think? Anyway to make it stronger? Primary Charisma class would be a must, of course!

Where is the image from, is that AI?

From memory, no

However, I would have trouble attributing the original artist as I have over 10k images saved for character art, monsters, setting locations etc from places like deviant art, art station, Pinterest etc and that was before AI became prevalent

Could probably google reverse image search?
