I'm wondering why you apply your level of Fearlessness [B55] or Fearfulness[B136] to both your Will roll to resist Intimidation and to your foe's Intimidation roll. Most (all?) other advantages and disadvantages give you a bonus or penalty to only one side of contests.

What's the justification for applying a Fearlessness/Fearfulness bonus/penalty to both sides of an Inimidation contest?

Are there other advantages or disadvantages to do this as well?
