📋 About This Mod
Allows party members to use their Strength modifier in place of their Charisma for Intimidation checks.
This mod adds a new feature called Menacing Physique to all party members, allowing them to use Strength in place of their Charisma when making Intimidation checks. Note this doesn't make them "Strength checks", per se. If you have something that gives advantage on Charisma checks, it'll still apply, while something that gives advantage on Strength checks won't. But a character with 20 Strength will do as well Intimidating as someone with 20 Charisma, all else being equal.
Characters with higher Charisma than Strength simply roll as normal.
This mod was a request from someone, which I happily threw together considering I'd essentially already made it for my Ruffian Rogue. For Barbarians in particular this might make Intimidation checks a bit overkill, since they already get a lot of situational advantage, but it's your game. There might be some oddities if you have multiple mods trying to achieve a similar effect to this.
Note that not all Intimidation checks necessarily use Charisma. Most do, but if an in-game Intimidation check already uses Strength or uses another stat entirely, then this feature shouldn't kick in.
As ever, if you like any of my mods and want to show some extra support, I've set up a tip jar here:
