[QUOTE="Quantarum, post: 4015673, member: 56773"] Fear is more than a psychological effect, it also causes a variety of physiological effects. When your heart is beating faster blood born toxins spread faster. Intense fear can cause nausea, shaking and even death due to stress on the cardiovascular system. -2 seems reasonable to me. I hope this example is a baseline pitfiend, with no bells or whistles and that the actual MM entry encourages and lists powers to make particular fiends unique. Maybe one can flamestrike once per encounter while another can cloak his minions in various illusions. The example is fairly vanilla, but I believe the MM will be full of sprinkles and syrups to make every encounter non-standard. (May have carried the ice cream metaphor too far.) Don't much care for the drawing, I'm pretty fond of the old pitfiend design. Glad I got two of the minis. ;) -Q. [/QUOTE]
