GURPS OLD WEST: Intimidation and the Movies

I think part of the problem he may be having is he's trying to pull cinematic-level Intimidation with an amateur skill level. The characters you're referencing likely have Intimidate in the 13-15 range, at least, plus pertinent Perks to pressure people and push them around. You can certainly let him stretch his modest skill by providing positive TDMs for roleplaying etc. Just understand that, by GURPS RAW, Intimidate 11 is not really that scary.
