[Larcifer]

The build I am working on for this concept is actually a half-orc Pally/Sorcerer...

Half orcs get a +2 bonus to intimidate, and there is a trait in the Taldor book, that grants 1/2 orcs a +2 trait bonus to intimidate (although the "adopted" trait can get u this) That is a +4 to intimidate at lvl 1. I'd go 14-ish str, then get Charisma to 18 (using the half orc's +2 to char)
I'd forget about intimidating prowess, in this aspect and work towards Corugon Smash as fast as possible, then Shatter Defenses...Skill focus Intimidate is great, but I'd get it later on. I know Initmidate is not Palidin Class skill, but it is a sorcerer class skill.
