The target’s stance or attitude towards you has an impact:
Friendly -5 DC
Indifferent +0 DC
Unfriendly +5 DC
Hostile +10 DC or more, less impact for intimidation
The nature of what you are trying to get the target to do also has an impact:
Simple, easy, or aligned with their goals -5 DC or more
Time-consuming, or expensive +5 DC or more
Dangerous, or demands trust +5 DC or more
Power dynamics and the situation can also shift the DC, especially for intimidation.
If you outnumber or overawe the targets, rescued them at great personal risk, or just killed most of them without breaking a sweat, they may be more receptive to your demands.
