| ==What Is Fear?==
| | '''Fear''' is a [[Status Effect]]. A mob or player under the affects of a Fear power will cower in terror for the duration of the power. [[NPC]] enemies have a chance to run a short distance or stand still and cower. Most importantly, while Fear is in effect, the target cannot attack unless it is attacked first. Then the target can either perform one counter-attack, or run away for 10 seconds, after which it will go back to cowering until the Fear effect wears off. Fear does not [[detoggle]] its target. Fear effects of this type are labeled Terrorize in the real numbers display and under the health bar hen affected by it. |

|
| Or, in terms of CoX game mechanics, '''Fear''' is a [[status effect]], like disorient, or knockback. An enemy under the affects of a Fear power will cower. A player who is Feared is immobilized. NPC enemies sometimes run a short distance, but mostly stand still and cower. Fear also causes an accuracy debuff. Most importantly, while Fear is in effect, the target cannot attack unless it is attacted first. Then the target can perform one counter-attack, after which it will go back to cowering until the Fear effect wears off. Note that, unlike a hold, Fear does not detoggle its target.

| ==Magnitude, Resistance, Protection== | | === Examples === |
| | <!-- Keep this list short, max 3 entries. Any more than that and we may as well delete it --> |
|
| |
|
| All status effects work the same way. The target has both Resistance and Protection. In order for the attack to take effect, it must have a big enough Magnitude to overcome the Protection. Once the Protection is overcome, the duration of the effect depends on the target's Resistance. Attacks can stack in order to overcome a target's Protection.

| The third and fourth powers of the presence pool are fear powers. Like with any Power Pool, players must take either the first or second power in the pool in order to have access to the third power, and must take two of the first three powers before taking the fourth.
