November 25, 2011 Question How big is the aura of intimidation zone roughly?
Answer A center with 10 aura would have a radius that extends out to near the tight end, so it might have trouble hitting OLB's lined up outside, but it could probably hit most of the D line.

October 1, 2011 Question Besides quick cut, blitz, and aura of intimidation are there any SA's that are "always on"?
Answer Most of the blocking/anti-blocking skills are "always on," at least while blocking. Such as "run block" or "foundation" or "get low". They just give a bonus to blocking rolls directly.

July 29, 2011 Question aura of intimidation. Is it more potent with higher confidence on the player using it? (ex 48 and 10 aura does less than 68 and 10 aura.) Does Aura stack? (ex DT is blocked by center and guard that both have 10 aura) On offense does Aura make the player harder to tackle or does it actually affect the moral of the defensive player over time?
Answer The power is just based on the level of the skill. Yes, a player can be affected by more than one aura at once.

February 9, 2011 Question aura of intimidation & Other Morale SA's do they really work or are some of us wasting a lot of SA points. I know I read in another thread someone did some testing and it didn't seem to be working well at all according to them. Can we get something official on this?
Answer All SA's and VA's work. People like to make assumptions because the SA's/VA's aren't responding as they think they should be. Every time some one has done some "testing" on a SA/VA and claimed it to be broken, I've taken it to Bort, he's looked at the code and database fields in depth and each time has found that there are no errors in the code or database fields.

May 25, 2010 Question Regarding aura of intimidation ( AOI ) : Will multiple players with AOI each have an effect every time AOI "fired off" or "ticks" an opposite team member within range, or will just the highest AOI take effect ? What stat or stats effect using AOI and resisting AOI ? AOI does work for offensive players, right ?
Answer Cumulative, applied when it processes each player who has the AOI. Confidence to resist, the level of the skill to power it. AOI works for everybody.

February 6, 2010 Question Speaking of morale, what about the LBer SAs? Are they still "working as intended"? I know a lot of players who haven't seen an effect (including myself). Also aura of intimidation, is it just a temporary penalty to morale? A group of us actually started discussing that today, so I'm just curious.
Answer Yeah, they still affect morale, though a lot of QB's have very high conf, and several are directed at QB's in particular. Aura is a permanent drain.
