I'm going to probably get hell for this, but here it goes anyways. Okay. *Deep breath.*

Samurai is probably going to just flat out be better at intimidate focus than fighter is and there's not much prestige classes can do to fix it. If you want to make the chassis more barbarian than fighter then prestige classes like champion of Gwynharwyf and a few others will pull it off swimmingly, but without going more barb than fighter you're just not going to have a great inimidator build and samurai builds will just flat-out outdo you as intimidators.

Edit: Also, 1 level of Marshal is solid on intimidator builds. Consider it a 1-level prestige class with no entry requirements. That's basically what marshal is.

As far as I know, intimidate focused classes tend to go just samurai, barbarian, or fighter. The zhentarim fighter substitution levels are great for intimidating, especially the 9th level. Most intimidating based builds depend quite a bit on feats. Off the top of my head, some commonly used ones are imperious command, kiai/greater kiai shout, and frightful presence (the draconomicon one). I can't think of any prestige classes that are especially good for fighter intimidating right now, but I'm sure someone else will be able to help.

Edit: Here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=125162)'s a link that should be helpful for feat choice and whatnot for the character.

There might be something of use in the Fear Handbook (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=3809.0)

First off, check out the Fear Handbook:
http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=3809.0

A few common non-fighter ideas:
- Factotum + Never Outnumbered Skill Trick + Imperious Command Feat
- Dread Necromancer/Dread Witch + Persisted Aura of Terror spell + Fell Frighten/Black Lore of Moil
- Crusader, because it's flavorful.

A list of appropriate Prestige Classes with Fear effects:
- Avenging Executioner (Can't be good, but can be neutral. Must be vengeful.)
- 3 levels of Evangelist (If you serve a cause)
- Champion of Gwynharwyf (If you can fudge the deity you serve)
- Scarlet Corsair or Dread Pirate (If you can be a pirate dwarf)

Anything else I'm finding is Spellcasting based.
