If you are right that this is how it works then Death is pretty mislery but are you sure of your explantion whereby -4 fear only hits 1 square around the unit at random? I would have thought it would automatically begin by assigning the fear affect to the square in front of the creature with fear.

Certainly hard to know for sure from practice - I look forward to confirmation on this.

Well, I'm basing my assumptions on the statements made by the devs in the following threads:

Lots of info on fear effect & radius in this thread:

Also some info on area effects (this time for banners, but it's still applicable):

If I understand correctly, lesser fear -4 which you get from the death 4 blessing results only in 1 square (or maybe 2 squares, it's nt really clear) out of 8 that surround the unit being randomly selected for the effect and enemies, if present in that square, have to make a morale check while having a bonus of +1. That's why I think it's really not much. If units have intrinsic fear, which gives an area of 5, it stacks nicely with the blessing then. But death 4 blessing is IMHO a rather weak effect.
