I am making a character with high Intimidate skill, but his Charisma is low. (He is a big half-orc with a nasty disposition.)
Now, I am not sure I see the logic behind Charisma AB effecting the Intimidate skill. As I understand it, a cute hafling bard with and understandably high charisma score would have as much chance (if not better chance) at winning a Intimidate check then my big, scary half-orc barbarian.
My first thought is that the Charisma AB table could be reversed for the Intimidate skill, but that has flaws. An unpleasant character may not be necessarily Intimidating. So, what about just taking the Cha AB out of the roll completely?
What is your opinion on this observation? Has it been discussed before? Am I reading it wrong? Am I the only one that cares?
