To your friends and allies, you come off as imposing. To your rivals, you come off as intimidating. But to all else, you are nothing less than the purest embodiment of terror. Your mere presence causes the weak-willed to quake in their boots, and your words send shivers down the spines of even the hardiest foes. Your presence is utterly terrifying.
You gain proficiency in Intimidation. If you already had proficiency, you gain expertise.
Before you enter combat, or before you roll initiative (whichever comes first), you can make an Intimidation check to say something which strikes fear into all present enemies. You must be able to speak to use this ability. All creatures who can understand your language and can hear you must make an opposed Wisdom saving throw or Intimidation check. For those whose result your Intimidation check meets or exceeds, they become Frightened of you for the first two rounds of combat. Those who succeed in resisting your attempt must prioritize you for offensive actions. If you use this ability, you cannot use your bonus action on your first turn.
