Intimidate

Intimidate is a Body Skill that governs the use of scare tactics and coercion to force others to act in one’s favor. It is a Skill that is lacking in subtlety compared to the other socially oriented Skills, but it can often compel results from otherwise unwilling parties where the others would fail. Expect to burn bridges and make no friends this way, however. Characters with a high Intimidate Rank tend to be physically imposing even when they’re silent and not acting. They often find work as club bouncers and bodyguards. Gang leaders and ranking members of criminal organizations also tend to have high Intimidate Ranks.

Skill Checks
Intimidate is not typically rolled as an Opposed Check, but special circumstances do exist. One example may be a group of trainers facing down a criminal team, each side trying to scare a pack of wild Pokémon into fighting for them. Example Skill Checks include:
 * Scaring off wild Pokémon
 * Bullying guards into letting you pass
 * Warding off potential pickpockets as you pass shadier parts of town

Usage
This Skill may also oppose Focus if, say, the user is trying to distract the target and disrupt them from doing careful/difficult work.
