The priest casting this spell instills courage in the spell recipient, raising the creature's saving throw rolls against magical fear attacks by +20 for 10 minutes. If the recipient is currently under the effect of fear, the spell immediately grants another saving throw, with a +20 bonus to the die roll. For every four ranks of the caster, one creature can be affected by the spell (one creature at ranks 1 through 4, two creatures at ranks 5 through 8, etc.).
The reverse of the spell, cause fear, causes one creature to flee in panic at maximum movement speed away from the caster for 1d4 rounds. A successful mental save against the reversed effect negates it. Of course, cause fear can be automatically countered by remove fear and vice versa.
Neither spell has any effect on undead of any sort. |
