Game Rule Components[edit]
Spells, Powers, Soulmelds, Stances, etc...[edit]

Items[edit]
who needs items when you are just so spooky? if you'd need items you can just threaten the shopkeep... or archmage... or the fabric of reality itself in order to gain any magical item.

Other Components[edit]
to optimise this build and to ake shure you get as many bonuses as possible as fast as possible
Highlights[edit]
your intimidate bonus at level 2 is charisma bonus + 5 (ranks in intimidate) +2 (persuasive feat) +3 skill focus (intimidate) +4 (half orc racial feat i forgot the name of) +4 half orc paragon feature +6 beguiling inföuence bonus that lasts for 24 hours and can be cast at will, your misc bonues add up to +19 and your total bonus (skill ranks included) should be about +26, so as long as you always put ranks in intimidate you should have an character with an +41 bonus or higher to their intimidate checks
Munchkin-Size Me[edit]
consider the dread witch or menacing brute for extra bonuese to intimidate, as well as the exemplar. Hideous blow lets you use your strength for attack rolls and frightful blast is just extra fun
Side Notes[edit]
<- overview of additional info about this build ->
Limitations[edit]
assume that your enemies have fear, but depending on the dm your character might still let you frighten an undead opponent with an nat 20, or even by just beating an DC 50 check
DM Counters[edit]
be boring and have em fight constructs all day, or people band together to fight against this strange threat
