Mommy Dearest: Intimidating Scold

Some friend on Facebook yesterday reminded me of the Mother class once published in an old issue of Dragon, and I mused if I should convert it to Pathfinder. Maybe for Mother’s Day? In the meanwhile, tell me if you like this feat.

Intimidating Scold (Metamagic)
You know not only how to be obeyed, but how to be feared too.
Prerequisite: You must be a parent or have cared for children for a long period of time.
Benefit: When casting a language-dependent spell or a power word spell on a creature, if you know the full name of that creature, you can add it to the spell’s verbal component. The spell will affect that creature only (even if it normally can affect more creatures), but if the target fails its save, it is also shaken for a number of rounds equal to the spell’s original level (as Fearsome Spell). If the spell doesn’t allow a save, the target can nonetheless attempt a Will save to negate the shaken effect. If the spell effect already causes creatures to become shaken, on a failed save, add the duration of this metamagic effect to the duration of the shaken condition imposed by the spell. An intimidating scold can’t cause a creature to become frightened, even if that creature is already shaken. An intimidating scold uses up a spell slot 1 level higher than the spell’s actual level.

    1. Dragon #238.
      I'm thinking to make it a NPC class or archetype with motherly deeds modeled on the swashbuckler's.
