====== Frighten a Foe ======
{{tag>activity short_action social}}

You use a terrifying display of prowess, a blood-curdling shout, or a cold, predatory stare to break an opponent's spirit.
**Roll+CHA**. You gain favour if you have recently dealt significant damage to the target or an ally they can see. You suffer slight if the target is significantly larger than you.
  * **Complete Success**:  Your presence is overwhelming. The target becomes [[ironbound:conditions:Panicked]].
  * **Success**:  The target is shaken. They become [[ironbound:conditions:Frightened]].
  * **Partial Success**:  The target is unsettled and becomes [[ironbound:conditions:Frightened]], but you have overextended your posturing. Choose one Bad Thing from the list below.
  * **Failure**:  The target is unimpressed by your display.
  * **Complete Failure**:  Your attempt is seen as pathetic or desperate. You suffer slight on all Charisma Rolls against this target until the end of the current encounter.

==== Bad Things ====
  * You attract unwanted attention.  One of the foe's allies becomes fixated on you.
  * You give away a weakness.  Foes who can see you learn what your worst attribute is.
  * Fear turns to desperation.  You provoke a [[ironbound:rules:activities:Counterattack]] from your foe.
