Help with an Intimidate-focused Warlord

[ghanjrho]

Campaign is Rise of the Runelords.
Race is Aasimar (angel born, Truespeaker, +2 STR instead of SLA)
Starting stats are
STR 18
DEX 14
CON 14
INT 10
WIS 10
CHA 16

Feats so far are:
Open Minded and Power Attack at level one, then the full Black Seraph Style chain. Beyond that, nothing firmly set.
Disciplines are Black Seraph primary (obviously), with Scarlet Throne and a dash of Golden Lion.

Hurtful and cornugon smash are big for intimidate builds.

Hurtful and cornugon smash are big for intimidate builds.
Cornugon Smash definitely fits. I don't know if I'll have the swifts for Hurtful

[ChrisAsmadi]

If you're Cornugon Smashing off Strike Maneuvers, Furious Focus could be worthwhile to ignore the PA penalty for single hit Strikes.

I'd strongly suggest against taking Hurtful-you can just stick to taking Black Seraph's Glare and stick to it until you qualify for Cornugon Smash.
Drop the 14 DEX down to 12, INT to 13, and take Improved Initiative on your first level instead of Open Minded. -1 AC and Reflex, but +3 to initiative is a solid tradeoff imo.
Also, I'd suggest starting out with Discipline Focus: Black Seraph at first level instead of Power Attack, only +2 to damage instead of +3, but without the hit penalty at a level where you can't bump it up that much. Go with a Nodachi, since it's discipline weapon for all your intended disciplines.

Current build:

STR 18
DEX 12
CON 14
INT 13
WIS 10
CHA 16

Feats:
1 Imp. Initiative
1B Power Attack
3 Black Seraph Style
5 Signature Skill (Intimidate)
6B Cornugon Smash
7 Black Seraph Malevolence
9 Furious Focus
10B Dreadful Carnage (deferred)
11 Black Seraph Annihilation

And then from 13 on, I can grab initiation-based feats, as my build will be complete. Signature Skill (Intimidate) is actually pretty decent, it seems, and I need Power Attack to qualify for Cornugon Smash and Dreadful Carnage.
