Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shellman" data-source="post: 2205123" data-attributes="member: 16067">Thanee,I think you might want to look at it again,Per the PHB,Frightened: Fearful of a creature, situation, or object. A frightened creature flees from the source of its fear as best it can. If unable to flee, it may fight. A frightened creature takes a -2 penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. A frightened creature can use special abilties, including spells, to flee; indeed, the creature must use such means if they are the only way to escape.Sickened: Mildly ill. A sickened creature takes a -2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.Shaken: Mildly fearful. A shaken character takes a -2 penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.Per Complete Arcane,Frightful Blast: Any creature struck by a frightful blast must succeed on a ill save or be shaken for 1 minute. A shaken creature struck by a frightful blast is not affected by the shaken aspect of the blast but takes damage normally. Creatures with immunity to mind-affecting spells and abilities or fear affects cannot be shaken by a frightful blast.Sickening Blast: Any living creature struck by a sickening blast must make a Fortitude save or become sickened for 1 minute. A sickened creature struck by a second sickening blast is not affected by the sickening aspect of the blast but still takes damage normally. I took your statement to mean that a creature could not be affected by both a frightening blast and a sickening blast.  Otherwise shaken is a form of being frightened, but sickened is not the same as shaken or frightened; therfore, I would think a creature hit by a frightening blast and a sickening blast would suffer the affects from both. Since, afterall they force a creature to make two different saves. Also, yes affects from multiple hits from similar blasts do not stack.</blockquote>
