Negation and poor climbing skills can cancel intimidation

Intimidation is a magical effect. It is described as a supernatural power by the helpfiles.

If intimidate weren't a magical effect, then any warrior (basically every class of melee besides paladin and hellion) would deserve to have it way more than hellion, since the vast, vast majority of players are not capable of playing that very tricky class to be actually intimidating. It's a supernatural aura of fear granted by their god, and that is the only reason that the class deserves to have it based on the way it's usually played.

I really hate saying this, but I agree with OA. It is a supernatural power granted by their god.

It's a supernatural power, but I'm not sure if it is granted by their god, or if it is innate because hellions align themselves with the dark powers and become a supernatural evil themselves. I'm fairly certain the aura of intimidation is produced by the hellion him/herself.

I'm pretty sure it still works while blemished as well.

Well that's fine, but then why is that something that isn't resisted outright by the MR barb?
