Titanic Armor and Intimidate


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

I got to talking with a local PFS coordinator about the Titanic ability for Armor and he mentioned about how Intimidate receives Bonuses or penalties for size differences. (Bonuses for being bigger then your target, penalties for being smaller.)

Now, I know RAW Titanic Armor would not effect Intimidate (unless you use the once daily ability to become larger) because it says "Special Attacks" but would this be considered a valid use (aka RAI) to use it for Intimidate.

It is generally considered RAI for combat maneuvers such as Trip, but those are attacks and Intimidate is a Skill.

Considering it is a +3 ability I don't think it would be overpowered.

Thoughts?

Titanic Special Property

Spoiler:
Bonus Equivalent = +3

A suit of armor with the titanic ability is almost comically oversized, though the effect is superficial and the interior fits a creature normally, with no adjustments necessary. A creature wearing titanic armor is considered one size category larger for the purpose of using or being affected by special attacks that depend on size, such as swallow whole and trample. Once per day on command, the wearer can increase her size as if using enlarge person (even if the wearer is not humanoid) for 1 minute. In addition, once per minute as a free action the wearer can add the armor's enhancement bonus to a single Strength check or combat maneuver check, or to her CMD against a single combat maneuver. Because of its great bulk, the armor check penalty of titanic armor is increased by an amount equal to its enhancement bonus.


The bonus to Intimidate checks is not a property of the armor, it's a property of the wearer's size. So when the enlarge effect is in effect, you get a bonus. Otherwise: no dice.
