Intimidation Forking Brutal Intim. and Giant Spider Steeds

[Bret Gillan]

Does Intimidation fork with Brutal Intimidation?

And can a Master of Eight purchase a Giant Spider Steed?

No.

And can a Master of Eight purchase a Giant Spider Steed?According to Mount Burner (http://www.burningwheel.org/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=getit&lid=37) he can :), just take a look on sample spider mounts on pages 18 and 19. As for resource point cost, I think that two lifepath spider mount is well worth 13 RP's, and 3LP one should be priced at around 18-20.

Hey Bret,

As Dro suggested, I believe the answer to your first question is no. The reason? Brutal Intimidation IS Intimidation. It's just a magical, orc-y variety that works extra well.

Okay, I was just wondering because my ever-vigilant player, Tom, was wondering if there was any reason for him to put points in Intimidation if he has Brutal Intimidation, and the only thing I could think of was FoRKing.

Though something I just thought of: In situations where Intimidation would FoRK, could Brutal Intimidation FoRK instead? Can they both FoRK?
