I agree about the flavor text. This is sort of how my “heritage feats” came about. (Thanks again, Sig, to help me balance, codify and name them). Often they occured to me as an idea about how they could enhance an RP encounter, and came to me as flavor, then I just had to find some mechanics to codify the “wouldn’t it be cool if…” text.

I like the favor text.

Aside from being a fun read, it gives an immediate “I can/can’t see this for my character”.

Actually makes a great feat. Intimidation is a one time force of will check. A fearsome Demeanor is apparent the moment an encounter starts. It may culminate in similar check but definitely carries more overall weight. Besides, sometimes diplomacy is a very large stick used properly! The bit of prose does help flesh the idea out. Worth having.

You can already more-or-less do this RAW. Granted, the Intimidate check merely makes the target Friendly while he’s in your presence, but I’m not sure that this feat makes the usage different enough to warrant being a feat on its own.

This reminds me of Arcane Mutterings. I like these little nuggets that give mechanical excuses to roleplay a fun social encounter. My wizard used to go all “Do not mistake me for a conjurer of cheap tricks” with Mutterings when I needed to chat up somebody with a dash of intimidation.

I like this feat, good for a skill starved class that wants to still “help” in social situations, and very flavorful so its a good RP aid.
It would be especially fun to watch a character gather information using this feat.
