|
| ''Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.'' | | '''Fear''' is a [[Status Effect]]. A mob or player under the affects of a Fear power will cower in terror for the duration of the power. [[NPC]] enemies have a chance to run a short distance or stand still and cower. Most importantly, while Fear is in effect, the target cannot attack unless it is attacked first. Then the target can either perform one counter-attack, or run away for 10 seconds, after which it will go back to cowering until the Fear effect wears off. Fear does not [[detoggle]] its target. |

|
| Or, in terms of CoX game mechanics, '''Fear''' is a [[Status Effect]], like disorient, or knockback. A mob or player under the affects of a Fear power will cower in terror for the duration of the power. [[NPC]] enemies sometimes run a short distance, but mostly stand still and cower. Fear, in some cases, also causes an accuracy debuff. Most importantly, while Fear is in effect, the target cannot attack unless it is attacked first. Then the target can either perform one counter-attack, or run away for 10 seconds, after which it will go back to cowering until the Fear effect wears off. Note that, unlike a hold, Fear does not detoggle its target.

| ==Magnitude, Resistance, Protection== | | == How to tell if a power uses fear == |
|
| |
|
| All status effects work the same way. The target has both Resistance and Protection. In order for the attack to take effect, it must have a Magnitude greater than (not equal to) the Protection. Attacks can stack in order to overcome a target's Protection. The duration of the effect depends on the target's Resistance.
