Strategy
This feat synergizes well with Dazzling Display, Cornugon Smash and Shatter Defenses. Melee characters specifically tend to have high Strength and average-to-low Charisma, so they will be more successful if they add their Strength bonus to Intimidate checks. It is debatable whether this feat is better than Persuasive. In general, characters whose starting Strength is at least 15 and plan to develop it further as the game progresses might achieve higher bonus using Intimidating Prowess. However, Skill Focus (Persuasion) has better utility, as it applies to all Persuasion check (not just Intimidate) and should be prioritized over the other two.
Intimidating Prowess is classified as Combat Feat, so it qualifies for the Fighter Bonus Feat list.
