Intimidate and deadly weapon

[nfactor13]

Couldn't figure out where this is discussed in the book:  What's does it mean in Berserker Mastery and Martial Arts that you make Intimidate checks as if armed with a deadly weapon.  I couldn't find what advantage that's supposed to give.

[Gatac]

Intimidate/Coercian has the "Gear (Weapon)" tag, which means that doing it without a deadly weapon incurs a -4 penalty. Those feats negate that, so you can scare people without waving a gun in their face.

Thanks, that makes sense.  Strange, I don't see the GER tag in the text, only on the skills table.

There is also an upper limit to the type of actions you can demand without presenting a deadly threat. Its in the table. Ill look it up once I get home and settle back in  . 25 hours to lift off .

Table 2.31: Requesting Assistance has it.
