Solarian Build Questions - or, is the feat Veiled Threat any good?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to finalize my character concept for a Solarian.

I want to use the Lambent Vesk race in (Near Space) to focus on a Solarian who is great at the skill INTIMIDATE (The frilled racial feature).

Between a Lambent Vesk, a Gladiator Theme, I can start at first level with an intimidate of +11.

For a starting feat, I can consider some of the skill feats, to raise it higher, but I was also looking at Veiled Threat. This would allow me to use Bully a little bit more and maybe open up more social encounter options for a Solarian.

I envision a Solarian who is good at Demoralize, Bully and being a starship captain, later on taking on options like Sidereal influence.

At 2nd level, I would take the Battle Leader archetype, again reinforcing a "bossy" Solarian Vesk who sees himself the leader and acts like it.

Just wondering if this idea seems credible, I should I even bother with a feat like Veiled Threat.

Anyway, take care. Thank you.

Veiled Threat is pretty GM and game dependent. In my current game, Bully is typically used to try to get aggresors to back down, and there aren't too many social encounters. So, I left Veiled Threat off of my build.

If I were in a more RP heavy game, Veiled Threat would be high on my list. It makes it MUCH more usable in normal situations, so I could possibly take points out of diplomacy.

In my opinion, only take it if you're going to be doing a lot of social encounters, you're a major talker for the group, and your diplomacy skill is far inferior to diplomacy.

Heya,

Appreciate the feedback. I think I basically agree with you. It is one thing to sit here and sort of arm chair quarterback character builds, but in practice.....It is something else.
