![]() ![]() Her review of my first collection in The Irish Times in 1978, when I was just 24, set in motion a whole sequence of marvellous events in my life that lasted for years and years, from a phone-call with the then US ambassador who had read her review to the Ireland Funds Award in 1984. She was passionate, adamant, insistent, searching and learned. She was a powerful leader in Irish poetry and a moral leader of women's political action, but much more than that. Thomas McCarthy I have been shaken by Eavan Boland's death in a deeply personal way that is hard to explain her death has shocked me to the core. Her selected poems, As If By Magic, is forthcoming.ΔΆ006: Eavan Boland and fellow poet Paula Meehan at the Bank of Ireland Arts Centre for a reading. Paula Meehan is a poet and was Ireland Professor of Poetry (2013-2016). And ready to record the contradictions. If we need or want a national poet, as we sometimes do, then her compassionate, ironic, and truth-laden art is there for the taking - I am your citizen: composed of / your fictions, your compromise, I am / a part of your story and its outcome. We'll read them in candlelight, and in the bright light of the stretching days, and she will never be far from us: she understood this. But on this beautiful spring morning, when the two kilometres allowed us robs us of our desire to come together and mourn, to celebrate a great and transforming spirit, then it is her poems that will be our salve. The only real magic item that helps intimidate (other than custom forging a +5 ring of intimidate or something) is a Helm of the Maiden.Paula Meehan In time, I know, our devastation at the loss of Eavan Boland will be tempered by profound gratitude for what she gave us and what she left us. ![]() And you can get Dragon-pharmones (75gp per use) for intimidating things way-outside your weight class (+2 to intimidate and you ignore the -4 penalty for being smaller than your target). ![]() ![]() "Of note for this build, a Battle Mask is a +1 untyped bonus to intimidate.

Meaning you have to roll 15 + their wisdom mod + their HD in order to reach the 4 rounds required for someone to be frightened. With the trait "memorable" you get +1 round of demoralize when you demoralize for at least 2 rounds (which is 100% of the time due to the thug rogue ability). If you demoralize someone for 4 rounds or more, they are frightened (and thus flee combat, losing their turn). It makes it so that when you demoralize someone using intimidate, they are demoralized for 1 more round than usual. Thug Rogue is an archetype that changes how intimidate works.
