what is the best way to deal is fear?

[dreadfury]

I play a level 4 soon to be 5 ranger infiltrator with FE evil outsiders. The last scenario i ran hit us with a shadow demon that got a fear off and suprise i failed the save. The effects of fear at will are brutal and since then i have purchased a weapon cord and a few potions of remove fear... are there any other consumables that can be purchased fairly cheaply? Shiver the drug is my go to want to buy but the 50:50 chance of getting knocked out is too risky. What can we come up with?

A potion of remove fear wont help you as much as you might think

1. It only suppresses active fear effects it does not render you immune to fear and if you are afraid you are not taking the time to draw and drink a potion, so the best you get is a +4 bonus to the save and maybe with a generous GM the ability to rejoin the fight a little sooner (as at some stage you will stop running).

See the great thing about fear is the pannicked condition gets removed as soon as you break line of sight. So make sure you double move away to break LOS. I thinknthe remove fear helps with the shaken... next rojnd you are back in the fight with a plus four bonus

Wand of remove fear. Give it to someone in your party that can use it and has a high will save (they should overlap)

You instill courage in the subject, granting it a +4 morale bonus against fear effects for 10 minutes. If the subject is under the influence of a fear effect when receiving the spell, that effect is suppressed for the duration of the spell.

Remove fear counters and dispels cause fear.

That should effectively end the fear effect, unless it lasts longer than 10 minutes.

Sorry my kindle has a lacknif autto correct. +4 to svs vs fear. And it suppresses the effdcts of fear which are shaken.

There's also the Ring of the Sublime from the Taldor book. It's basically a ring of Remove Fear... And IIRC only costs about 4K.

You could also take levels in paladin.

It's 2k, and it's PFS legal. Excellent suggestion!

Wow nice ring...thats actually amazing for this season

[Mystic Lemur]

Pick up a Character Folio from your Friendly Local Gaming Shop for a reroll on that failed save.

Stand near the Paladin.

Ask the Cleric to be a little quicker casting Bless.

Take Iron Will (it's not that bad).

Calm Emotions will work for a bit, if you need to fix lots of folks at once.

It looks like Mystic Lemur beat me too it. I was going to suggest "hug a paladin" .

[Claxon]

If you're a barbarian torc of the lionheart or the fearless rage power

Take deep breathes, count to 10...

Or a bard

[dreadfury]

the only issue with taking levels in paladin is that you have to spend 9-12 sessions as a paladin...yuck... also you have to keep being a paladin IIRC. i may purchase the wand for our local paladin who took a level in oracle.

If you succeed on the save but your other party members fail, run away with them.

Rallying Armour is an excellent choice (+5,000 gp). A Courageous Weapon is also an option (+1 bonus).
