When you activate armor or a shield that has this property, you create an aura of terror in a 20-foot radius around yourself. Every creature in this area briefly perceives a creature from its worst nightmare instead of you, becoming panicked for 1 round. On a successful DC 16 Will save, the creature is shaken for 1 round instead.
The fearsome property functions three times per day.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, fear.
Cost to Create: 7,500 gp, 600 XP, 15 days.
