Scare

[Karlgamer]

I'm not sure how the spell scare works.

I understand how Cause Fear works. roll a savings throw if you fail you are frightened if us succeed you are shaken for a round. And if you have 6 or more HD you are immune to the shaken part.

How does Scare change this. I feel kind of dumb asking.

Scare can affect multiple targets.

[Karlgamer]

Okay so let me get it straight:

Cause fear makes creature with 5 or fewer HD Frightened unless they make a saving throw in which case they are shaken.

Scare works exactly the same except that you can target more then one creature if you have the levels.

Right?

[Booksy]

Right, they both do have the same affect.

Difference is at level 6 the caster using Scare can potentially frighten 2(max 6 at level 18) creatures vs Cause Fear which can only ever target one creature.

I think Scare is worded horribly.

I read:

"except that it causes all targeted creatures of less than 6 HD to become frightened."

but I should have read:

"except that it causes all targeted creatures of less than 6 HD to become frightened."

I guess that shows me I should always read the Spell Descriptors and not just the Description.
