Mortifying Attack

(Champions of Ruin, page 20, DnD 3.5)

[General]

Those who witness your brutal death attack are unnerved and jarred by the experience.

Prerequisite

Death attack class feature

Benefit

All creatures within 30 feet that witness you make a successful death attack must succeed on a Will save (DC equal to death attack damage dealt) or be shaken for 2d4 rounds. Any creature you consider your ally is unaffected. In addition, creatures that fail the save are so horrifi ed by the attack that they lose their Dexterity bonus to Armor Class for 1 round. The target of the death attack must also make the saving throw if it survives. This extraordinary ability is a fear effect.
