By nature, I tend to prefer diplomacy. Formerly when I've made characters in NWN2 they've been cool, collected, men-about-town who solve their problems without violence when they can. Usually I end up somewhat at odds with Khelgar (the dwarven fighter), since he prefers to kick people in the teeth.
This time, however, I made a warrior. Specifically, a weapon master. The prerequisites for the weapon master prestige class include several ranks in intimidate. Since I'm a warrior, I don't exactly have a crapton of skill points to spread around, so I've been maxing out intimidate every level-up.
What a different game! Suddenly I've gone from feeling like a slack-jawed vicar to a menacing badass. I've avoided just as many fights as I would've avoided by using diplomacy, but with the added bonus of keeping my self-respect intact.
I've taken my first level in weapon master as of last night. They get an ability called "Ki Strike", which means they do maximum damage if they hit. Combined with the whirlwind feat, I'm turning into something of a battlefield catastrophe.
