Suppose you're a tiny female gnome minmaxing charisma and training in Intimidate... How do you realistically RP that against goliath wardens and dragonborn barbarians?

Nobody with a brain would do this
You're a gnome and have always been a gnome.
You intimidate with what you have available, like a goliath or a dragonborn.
Look up, give your widest grin, and crush a pair of eggs in your grasp.

Nobody who has played roleplaying games would post this.

Suppose I have no brain... or rather, no common sense, since Wisdom is my dump stat.
Threaten that you're hard to catch and what you'll be going for immediately is their balls.
Lick your weapon as you do it.
That'd spook anyone.

>and training in Intimidate...
you don't use your body, threats can be carried out many ways.
"It would be a shame if you didn't [x] because my friends here really wanted it."
or something
use party dynamics, use power you have, maybe if you're a mage give a bit of a visual display.
If pretend you have credentials
improvise

Timber?
Assuming that your not shitposting(Which I doubt), you shouldn't use character skills and attributes to decide how to RP. Instead, decide how your gnome has viewed aggressive demeanor throughout their life and why they decided that is how they should act. Your character is more than a list of numbers. It should be, you know, a character. Pic not entirely related

Asplomancy is pretty scary.

Seriously not going to go loli on this; I'm doing my best to be sincere and not let it derail into otaku waifu meme shit.
>>55376528
I'll dote on this some more. I just made the thread because I'm having difficulty coming up with ideas for RP in this regard beyond showcasing obscene confidence in the face of grave danger to unnerve opponents.

A fucking knife, man. Jesus, just because you're small doesn't mean you don't know where to twist a knife to extremely painful but non lethal. Or at least a very slow and painful death, like pulling out intestines. Or keeping a very sharp knife and slicing your victims very, very slowly with very little cuts. Seriously, horror movies should have taught you that little girls are super creepy.

This isn't a "I don't know anything about girls" problem, it's a "I don't know how to threaten people" problem.

You act like an absolutely insufferable cunt but end sentences with """cute""" sounds until you fail an intimidate check and are purged from whatever setting spawned your rodent into the world.

?

Stats don't exist in a vacuum. If your gnome has a fuckton of intimidate, then your job is to figure out how that works. A pixie will not just giggle and then have a minotaur piss himself and do whatever she told him without any reason to it.

Something like that. They get scared because that bitch is eerily adorable, unnatural.

Intimidation doesn't have to be physical. "Do you know who I am?" etc
