You stare down a nearby opponent and send him fleeing in terror.

Menacing Stare is a skill in the Persuasion tree that allows the player to inflict fear on nearby creatures.

This skill grants the "Menacing Stare" activated ability which, when used on a creature within 5 tiles of the player, will inflict fear. This causes the creature to flee from the player for 6d46-24 (Avg: 15) rounds. The creature has a chance to make a save against the fear effect, equal to 1d81-8 (Avg: 4.5) + Player Ego + 2 ≥ Defender MA; if this fails, the creature will "resist" the fear.[1]

Ability Cooldown

The base cooldown of Menacing Stare can be reduced by 10 rounds if the user is wearing an item with the terrifying visage mod.[1][2]
