Have a look at what I asked on reddit. http://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder_RPG/comments/2f5prs/intimidating_paladin _can_i_do_it
The replies were really useful. Something I should mention, there is a new feat in ACG that makes an intimidating paladin silly. Disheartening Display.
If you ever come across a large mob, it takes 2 rounds to disperse them with a moderate intimidate check. Who needs magic?
Heck, with this combo, you could send a 12HD enemy running scared at level 6! It is a skill check, they get no save... but expect GM to send retribution.
