Masterwork Tool for Intimidate Ideas

[FrodoOf9Fingers]

Hey!

I'm currently in PFS with a character who uses intimidate a lot. He took Bruising Intellect, and so he uses intelligence instead of charisma for intimidate checks. I want to get him a masterwork item, but I'm not sure what would fit best for such an item. The only things I can think of would be a set a tatoos (to make him look scary) or a fancy pair of glasses (to make him look smart, cause bruising intellect).

Do you guys have any good ideas for a masterwork item that could reasonably apply to intimidate checks that are based off of intelligence?

The uniform of a heinous and feared organization, snazzily tailored, creases ironed, and with plenty of rank badges and awards.

A badge that says "006 - license to flog"

A shaved skull with tattoos

Punisher's Skull design on his armor? Torturer's kit, Nun's ruler, jar of spiders, giant brightly colored lollipop...

Jewelry. Viking Style overboard intense jewelry. The rings with creepy unknown runes on them, those rings can be quite creepy. (Ankle rings, arm rings, thumbrings, ring-finger rings, all finger rings, etc.)

A book labeled "Theory and Practice of Torture, Vol. III," with dogears and bloodstained ribbons marking various pages.

How about a necklace of ears of sentient creatures you've killed, magically preserved of course?

You're thread has inspired me because I will be playing an intimidation focused tyrant antipaladin for Hell's Vengeance soon.

Perhaps tattoos dedicated to Asmodeus, or depict terrible heinous acts happening to people.

Oh, maybe a cloak. But not just any cloak, a cloak that absorb and draws in blood from any creature the wearer damages. And then provides a bonus to intimidation...well that's probably a magic item and not just a masterwork tool. But it sounds bad ass.

a cap with demon like horns a centered cat's eye gem that resembles a third eye? could add continual flame on gem so it provides light and has a flickering effect on eye?

It's difficult to come up with something that isn't comparable to just showing up in full plate harness carrying a bared sword or wearing eldritch looking robes and waving bat guano around.
The best reasonable mundane intimidate booster would be blackmail material, though you'd need to acquire it on a per target bases. Maybe a fully stocked dungeon, but I'm not sure even that is scarier than a wizard telling you he prepared Baleful Polymorph this morning.

Does PFS put limitations of any kind on MW tools? Most of the Paizo tools that grant +2 have some kind of mitigating factor, such as having a limited number of uses, only good for certain uses of a skill, only in a certain city, etc.

The current rule is to use common sense. If you come up with your own tool, I would include limitations in line with published tools.

I have war beads that apply only to Dazzling Display and a rhyming dictionary for Perform(oratory) to inspire a group or crowd.
