[PF] Getting more out of Intimidate

[JellyPooga]

I've been building a back-up character for a Pathfinder game I'm playing in and decided to go for a Half-Orc Inquisitor. Needless to say, his Intimidate score is nice and high, between his Racial bonus, Stern Gaze and Favoured Class racial bonus. He's also taken the Heresy Inquisition instead of a Domain, to add his Wis mod instead of Cha to Intimidate, allowing him to ditch Charisma too.

Unfortunately, despite an insanely high skill modifier for his level (which is 4), there isn't, as far as I can see, an awful lot he can do with it beyond the basic "standard action to cause Shaken" effect of the base skill. What options are there that I'm missing?

The Dazzling Display feat is a popular choice. Enforcer could also be useful.

There's also the Blistering Invective spell, though I don't recall if it's on the Inquisitor list.

I've considered Dazzling Display and know of Enforcer, but I was hoping there might be something less weapon-based. As effective as DD might be, the idea of a guy standing there and showing off, doesn't scream Scary-Dude to me. More Flash-Git. Not the image I was going for!

I'll check out Blistering Invective...I'm not familiar with it at all.

DD is a poor feat. There is a performance feat (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/hero-s-display-combat-performance) in UC to basically use DD as a swift action, but it requires something like a 4* feat investment (Weapon Focus, Dazzling Display, Hero's Display, and you need Performing Combatant (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/performing-combatant-combat) to actually use performance feats in normal combats) and making a DC 20 perform check, which is grotesquely not worth it.

Blistering Invective is a good alternative for an area demoralize.

Enforcer is good if you take the Blade of Mercy trait, though that requires worshipping Saranrae and may not be feasible for your Inquisitor since deity actually affects *stuff*.

If you can wait till your 7th level feat, Cornugon Smash (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/cornugon-smash-combat) works similarly to Enforcer, though not nearly as long duration nor the enhanced fear on a crit effect.

Much later on (medium BAB means...15th level, iirc), Dreadful Carnage (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/dreadful-carnage-combat) is amazing. It's just a free area demoralize every time you kill. No taking the PA penalty, no doing nonlethal. Just a free reward for doing what you were already doing.

On the unarmed combat front, there is Boar Ferocity (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/boar-ferocity-combat).

*Technically, Performing Combatant and Hero's Display only require Dazzling Display, so if you can avoid the weapon focus requirement, it's "only" 3 feats - still not worth it. Only way I know of to get DD w/ WF is Order of the Cockatrice Cavalier level 2.
