Fear - explained.

So what defines the size of the aura? Or is it fixed?

shovah · #2 October 16th, 2005, 09:35 AM

the size is probably based on how much fear the creature causes

The pval of the Fear, ie. the X in Fear(X), defines the size as well as the save modifier.

Size=X+5

Save modifier=INT(-X/5) ie. negative X gives +1 bonus to save, positive X >=5 gives a penalty to save.

> I nonetheless still have the impression that a fear or standards aura tends to radiate forward from the commander, but I admit I can't justify that impression.

It has no effect on friendly troops. Also there is no way to tell if units are targeted (that I can remember) so you really have no way of knowing if it is cone shaped.
