Okay, got a question for the assembled wisdom of the Pathfinder Boards: can a character use Intimidate to demoralize an opponent that is immune mind-affecting effects? This came up last night when one of my players attempted to demoralize a crag linnorm and was able to beat the DC 29 check (even with the -4 penalty to the roll). The fact that I found the idea of a medium size human intimidating a gargantuan dragon a tad absurd, I ruled the linnorm's immunity to mind-affecting effects would prevent the shaken status. Any thoughts?

So I've been running Pathfinder with my group for a while now, and I'm slowly catching on to the changes made to 3.5 (between work and school I haven't had the time to read the Core Book cover to cover). I was statting up an Assassin NPC today and I noticed that Pathfinder has removed the spell-casting ability from the Prestige Class. I was curious how others felt about this change and why it was implemented. I can see its excisement as a balance against the other abilities granted to the class, and I'm not exactly complaining about the change: it just kinda jumped out at when I realized I'd have to give this NPC some magical gear to replicate some of the old 3.5 Assassin spells (spells I had designed combat strategies around). Anyway, any thoughts about the change would be welcomed.
