Thugs, Enforcer, and Blade of Mercy

[Mekkis]

One of the players I've had the pleasure to DM (in Pathfinder Society), has built this character that has an interesting array of abilities.

Basically, it works with using a bladed weapon (often a scimitar) to do nonlethal damage, combined with the Enforcer feat to allow a free intimidate check.

After succeeding the intimidate check (taking into account skill focus and several other things), then use the Frightening ability of the Thug to turn it into Frightened for one round.

First question (aimed at this forum): Is this kosher?

Second question: Should it be?

Yes.

Yes.

At least he's not using Bludgeoner feat w/ Sap Adept and Sap Master. :)

IMO, Thug should be 1 round frightened PER 4 rounds shaken, not just...1. But that's how it's written RAW, sadly.
