Skill Verbs
From Arthos
Subskills describe the many possible actions for each skill. You do not need to level subskills as they are governed by their respective skills.
Intimidation checks are the only skill checks that change depending on the chosen subskill. Using terrify will use a strength modifier instead of charisma.
