Formulated Rage

Starting at 3rd level, you can present your prospective enemies with a form that allows them to proceed with combat in a document-approved manner. Once during your Rage, as an action you can present a creature within 5 feet of you with a magically binding combat approval form. A creature must be able to understand a language for it to know that it must fill-out this form, but it does not need to share a language with you. The creature must spend its next action filling out the form and signing it for verification. As a part of this action, they must make a contested Intelligence check against your Bureaucracy skill. On a successful check, the creature correctly completes the form, and the form disappears. On a failure, it must repeat this action on its next turn. While a creature is in the process of filling out the form, you cannot make weapon attacks against that creature. Impertinence is unbecoming of you.
While a creature is in the process of filling out the form, your Rage can only be ended early if you fall unconscious or if you choose to end it.


Is Formulated Rage still too strong? I know that it doesn't follow the normal standard of design for 5e (a saving throw to negate an effect at the end of each round), but there are at least few spells that require checks instead of saves. If the check was changed from a contested Intelligence check to a contested Wisdom check, it would bring the power level down and still make sense thematically, but I have yet to come up with a good way to restructure the ability to use saving throws without nerfing it into the ground. Any thoughts?
