Combat Focus: Dread Warrior

A dread warrior focuses on inflicting fear in the hearts of men, sapping them of the will to fight.

Combat focus I

At 3rd level, you gain Intimidating as a bonus feat. If you already possess this feat, you instead gain Oni’s Glare as a bonus feat. If you already have both these feats, you gain no further benefit.

In addition, when you attempt to demoralize an opponent using the Intimidate skill, it takes only a move action rather than a standard action.

Combat focus II

After reaching 5th level, when you intimidate a target into acting friendly towards you, the intimidation lasts for 24 hours after you leave rather than the normal 1d6×10 minutes.

When demoralizing an opponent in battle, the target remains shaken for an additional number of rounds equal to your class level.

After performing either of these actions, you instill a lasting fear in the target, granting you a +4 circumstance bonus on any future Intimidate checks you make against that target.

Combat focus III

Starting at 9th level, you may attempt to demoralize an opponent using only a swift action rather than a standard or move action, and you may demoralize an opponent up to 30 feet away.

Combat focus IV

At 13th level, you can use Intimidate against a target, even if that target is immune to fear or mind-affecting effects. (You still cannot intimidate creatures who are immune due to being mindless or a similar condition).

Combat focus V

When you reach 17th level, you may attempt to demoralize all opponents within 60 feet of yourself with a single action.
