Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Demoralize Opponent
You can also use Intimidate to weaken an opponent’s resolve in combat. To do so, make an Intimidate check opposed by the target’s modified level check (see above). If you win, the target becomes shaken for 1 round. A shaken character takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. You can intimidate only an opponent that you threaten in melee combat and that can see you.

Your Intimidate check is opposed by the target’s modified level check (1d20 + character level or Hit Dice + target’s Wisdom bonus [if any] + target’s modifiers on saves against fear).

But the check mechanics need revising for compliance with online game reality, because the way its described by pnp, on bgtscc it would be auto success most times it is used, with exceptions for paladins, where it would be auto failure.

Err, no.

Read the check carefully - it takes character level/HD into account.

With 30 ranks in intimidate, you have hard time indimidating ANY level 30 character.
Assuming the target has 10 wisdom and no bonuses, you'll be rolling d20 against their d20, pretty much.

And of course, as a miighty level 1 character your chance of demoralizing anyone who's much more experienced than you will be zero.

Strange I should explain.
As a level 1 character now one can have 5-10 "own" intimidate and due to recent ILR waive
equip ~+20 or more skill gear,
