As the title says, does Intimidate provoke and Attack of Opportunity. I did some searching through the forums, and couldn't find anything that directly addressed this.
The best I can figure is that it does, following the rules on p 183: Actions in Combat. "Use a skill that takes 1 action: Usually"
Thanks for the help.
I would say no, since if it did I would expect that to be specifically called out in the section on using Intimidate in combat.

I agree.

But other skills DO specifically say they do not provoke an attack of opportunity.
Acrobatics says it does not provoke.Flying: While descending, it does not provoke
Sleight of Hand: Drawing a hidden weapon, it specifically states does not provoke an attack of opportunity
Bluff/Feint: While it doesn't say it in the skill, it DOES say it in Actions in Combat that it does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
So stating that it doesn't say it does, doesn't seem to hold true in this case....

That is because those skills are variations of things that normally DO provoke attacks of opportunity. Acrobatics/flying are variantions of moving. Moving normally provokes, so in these cases they dont. Drawing a weapon normally provokes, but with sleight of hand it doesnt.
Intimidate is a variation of talking more or less, which doesnt provoke. So unless the intimidate rules say it, it doesnt provoke.
