Scare (spell)

Scare frightens the wits out of creatures, causing them to "jump out of their skins" and cease whatever they're doing. Regardless of whether or not they make their save, they will jump back 5 ft. in sharp terror. Anything they have in hand will be dropped, regardless of the consequences.

Casting Time	1 round

Those who save will recover from this at once, being free to act the next round; but those who fail their save will turn and run, at maximum stride for four rounds.

Thereafter, scared persons will need three additional rounds to recover themselves before being free to act normally. During this time, they'll breathe heavily and shudder, unable to move from the place where they've stopped. During this time, if they're attacked or struck, they will turn and run again for another four rounds. At no time should they be treated as helpless defenders.

Creatures with an intelligence of zero cannot be affected by the spell, but all others are subject to the spell's magic — except for creatures with a natural immunity to fear.
