Ok, I'm reminded of an issue I had in my previous/first campaign. It ended up being a horror session that used and abused Shadows, Nightwings and a Nightwave (near the end), all inside a reality warping Genius Loci house on Carceri.
Anyway, the thing I ran into was one guy was playing a Paladin. Now, this is fine by itself. Heck, one of my favorite characters was a Paladin. The problem was the "Immunity to Fear" they get.
Now, I fully agree with immunity to fear spells and supernatural fear effects. But what about, say, the feeling that the house is trying to kill you, or the feeling that the shadows that you're seeing are moving on their own, and are massing just beyond your field of vision?
Basically, does immunity to fear (as per the Paladin class ability) affect becoming scared via conventional things and dread?
