How many demoralize checks can you make in one turn on an opponent and would they stack with each other?


Rules Questions


Hey all, rocking a Brawler that is purely fisticuffs that is currently level 7. I have enforcer and I also have gone down the Boar Style feat tree and with other feats out there that let you do demoralize effects at certain points I was wondering if I could make multiple demoralize checks.

With how my guy is currently set up, I do n/l damage to my target and make my demoralize check for enforcer. After that I make my 2nd attack on the creature to trigger the tear flesh from Boar Style and then get my free action to make another demoralize check. If I make both checks would the length stack at this point?


If the demoralise attempts are free actions (surprisingly many are) or otherwise fit into your actions for the round then yes, you make several in a turn. The Cornugon Smash feat gives another as a free action when you power attack, Intimidating Confidence lets you try another (free action) when you confirm a crit, Killing Flourish takes a swift action and triggers when you drop someone below 0 hp. I expect there's others.

Yes, as stated under the intimidate skill these demoralize effects will stack duration but not intensity of effect. You might also note that each demoralize attempt within the same hour to the same target makes the DC of the next 5 points harder though.
