Signature Skill: Intimidate. What is the "Stalwart ability"?

[Galahad0430]

Under Intimidate for its extra abilities with Signature Skill, it says the following:

Intimidate
With sufficient ranks in Intimidate, you earn the following.
An asterisk (*) indicates the total duration cannot exceed 1
round plus 1 round for every 5 by which you exceed the DC.

5 Ranks: If you exceed the DC to demoralize a target by at
least 10, it is frightened for 1 round and shaken thereafter.*
A Will save (DC = 10 + your number of ranks in Intimidate)
negates the frightened condition, but the target is still
shaken, even if it has the stalwart ability.

What is this referring to? All of the places I look that term up have nothing to do with fear, intimidate, or the shaken condition. Is this a new term for the immunity to fear ability like Paladins have?

Nah, it's an Inquisitor (and maybe some other class's) ability. Normally a creature with Stalwart that makes a will save suffers no ill effects, even if normally the save was for partial.

Quote:

At 11th level, an inquisitor can use mental and physical resiliency to avoid certain attacks. If she makes a Fortitude or Will saving throw against an attack that has a reduced effect on a successful save, she instead avoids the effect entirely. This ability can only be used if the inquisitor is wearing light armor, medium armor, or no armor. A helpless inquisitor does not gain the benefit of the stalwart ability.

Ahh... darn, I was hoping to be able to use Intimidate against Paladins :(

Yeah, it's just Evasion for Fort and Will. 3.5 used to call it Mettle, and there was more than just the one way (inquisitor) to get it.
