Versatile Performance and Scare to Death

[pennywit]

I'm doing some theorycrafting and such in HeroLab Online right now, jsut to get a sense of what can be done with Patfhinder 2e. Right now, I'm playing with a high-level bard. The bard has Performance at Legendary. Thanks to Versatile Performance, he can use his Perform skill to Make an Impression or Demoralize an opponent.

According to HeroLab, this combination makes the bard eligible for the Scare to Death feat. Scare to Death requires Legendary Intimidation.

...

Versatile Performance can't allow this bard to take Scare to Death. Can it??

You can use your proficiency rank in Performance to meet the requirements of skill feats that require a particular rank in Deception, Diplomacy, or Intimidation.

Thank you. I was wondering about that.

Of course. And now, I want to play this character somewhere and deploy Scare to Death with ... a knock-knock joke.

You can take it, but you will have to use intimidate for the check. Scare to Death is not a Demoralize check.

Now, THAT makes sense to me. Thank you.
