Intimidation

Your ability to intimidate others relies mostly on the situation, but the charisma and sociability stats both heighten your chances of being successful in most cases.

NPCs judge your intimidation attempts based on their current stance towards you, in addition to historic events, like previous combat encounters. Surrendered characters will almost always give in to intimidation tactics, while ones in combat will most likely reject them if the fight is still fairly even.
