Re: Terror (3.5 randomized fear spell)
It seems fine. On average it will be a little bit better than fear but not so much so that there is no reason to take fear. The only thing is compared to other fear effects fascinated is actually pretty bad so I find it odd that it is at the top of the table.

Re: Terror (3.5 randomized fear spell)
Cowering is worse than panicked because they stand still. A panicked person has a chance to flee and come back later seeking revenge, and you can't loot the corpse anywhere near as easily.
On second thought I think it's about as good as fear, with a little bit more interesting effects, I think it's fine at level 4.Avatar by Diabhan
