Out of Charges (OOC thread)

My two-cents is, I don't see any reason why an animal can't be intimidated.  There is a Feat called, Intimidate Animals (Combat).

Intimidate Animals (Combat)

You are skilled at intimidating animals with your bluster and fury.
Prerequisites: Greater Wild Empathy, Intimidate 5 ranks, Knowledge (nature) 5 ranks, wild empathy class feature.
Benefit: You add your Wisdom modifier on Intimidate checks against animals in addition to your Charisma modifier. an animal with 4 or fewer Hit Dice is frightened instead of shaken on a successful Intimidate check to demoralize it.

Perhaps there should be a penalty of -2 unless you have ranks in Handle Animal.  There are 3 ways to use Intimidate and each take a different amount of time to use.
