Does a spiritualist's shared consciousness feature grant a +4 against Intimidate?


Rules Questions

Pretty much what it says in the thread title! Shared consciousness states it applies versus mind-affecting effects, and using the Intimidate skill certainly seems like it'd be one.
I can't, however, find it stated explicitly anywhere. Looking through the forums uncovers a lot of very long arguments about Paladins but not much else. Thoughts?


No. There is no saving throw against intimidate, so nothing for the +4 to apply to.

It is a commonly suggested house rule that saving throw bonuses against fear/mind affecting effects should increase the DC of the intimidate check. Speak to your GM about it.


It's not a saving throw, so you don't get your bonus, but Intimidation is a [mind-affecting] [fear] affect.

Immunity to either of those things will stop Intimidation.

Totally forget Intimidate was a DC to hit, not a save! Thanks guys.
We'll see on the house rule thing, especially since Intimidate shuts down psychic spellcasting so handily.
