What's on that page that does anything for undead?
"Undead Barbarian: An undead creature with the ability to enter a rage gains the morale bonuses from rage despite being immune to morale effects. The bonus to Constitution from the rage applies to an undead creature's Charisma instead."

Undead Barbarian
An undead creature with the ability to enter a rage gains the morale bonuses from rage despite being immune to morale effects. The bonus to Constitution from the rage applies to an undead creature's Charisma instead.
Not sure if it's meant to be a general rule for all undead, or just a special quality that GMs can opt to apply.

So, Bravery, the Cruelty feat, Banner of Doom feat, Court Bard's Satire, or anything that involves fear effects, applies with any use of the Intimidate skill?
I am glad this was answered, but it does add some new questions.
Are Bluff and Diplomacy considered mind-effecting effects?
Also, all undead are now completely immune to intimidation, of any kind.
That's just neat.

Bravery, Banner of Doom, and Satire all apply to saves. I don't know any use of the Intimidate skill that allows a save, so I can't see how any of those would apply.

It is kind of a separate question, but is intimidate language-dependent? I wouldn't think that you should need to speak somebody's language to growl, howl, or scowl at them and make them shaken, but I've seen people mention this in the past.
If the demoralize function of intimidate isn't language-dependent would there be any reason why you couldn't use intimidate on animals? I ask mostly because of the Unnatural Presence trait, which says, "Benefit: You can use your Intimidate skill to demoralize animals and vermin; Intimidate is a class skill for you."
Intimidating mindless vermin is clearly a departure from the normal rules for intimidate as a benefit of the feat. That might seem to imply that intimidating animals is too, but I can't think of any reason other than intimidate being language-dependent why that should be the case. Is there a rule I missed somewhere?

That's why I am actually surprised by the ruling. While I know the intimidate roll was vs the targets wisdom modifier, it always semmed to require that the target be intelligent. Not by RAW, of course - but basically, the creature had to be intelligent enough to recognize that what you were doing/saying was intimidating in the first place. I get that non-intelligent undead would be immune - but cutting off a character's ability to role play, truly intimidating another intelligent creature (beyond just saying [roll] "I intimidate them".) seems backwards. That said, I suppose you can always just role play it out - and so long as you DON'T roll the die, the GM can have the intelligent characters respond appropriately and logically.
