Effect: SKILL. Can I add ABILITY bonus?

[kuthulu]

One of my players took the Intimidating Prowess Feat. I was trying to set it up as an effect, hoping it would scale with his STR bonus. If I put in the numeric bonus for the skill it works fine. Is there a way to add the STR bonus as a variable? I tried this but it didn't work:
Intimidating Prowess; SKILL: [STR] intimidate

Intimidating Prowess; SKILL: 4 intimidate <-- This works

Maybe changing the Intimidate SKILL modifier on his character sheet from CHA to STR would make more sense since his CHA wouldn't get buffed/changed as much.

Intimidating Prowess (Combat)
Your physical might is intimidating to others.
Benefit: Add your Strength modifier to Intimidate skill checks in addition to your Charisma modifier.

There's no way to set it up to be dynamic once the effect is applied to the combat tracker. The ability sub-tags in effects only resolve when applied from the PC sheet to the combat tracker.
