Description: Dragons have the inherent ability to generate an aura of fear which completely surrounds them. Any enemy entering this aura and failing its saving throw will become frightened for a number of rounds equal to the caster's hit dice, to a maximum of 20 rounds.
Notes[]
- The duration of the frightened effect on player characters is reduced to a half when the difficulty setting is "normal", and to a quarter at easier settings.
- The DC of the save is based upon the dragon's age (caster's hit dice).

|---|---|---|
| wyrmling | 6 or less | 13 |
| very young | 7 to 9 | 15 |
| young | 10 to 12 | 17 |
| juvenile | 13 to 15 | 19 |
| young adult | 16 to 18 | 21 |
| adult | 19 to 21 | 24 |
| mature adult | 22 to 24 | 27 |
| old | 25 to 27 | 28 |
| very old | 28 to 30 | 30 |

- impact script:
NW_S1_AuraDrag - OnEnter script:
NW_S1_DragFearA - If used by a creature whose tag is "q3_vixthra", the duration of the fear effect will be only 3+d6 rounds.
- In the OnSpellCastAt event, this ability identifies itself as a regular aura of fear (possibly a bug).
