In 3e it was irresistable, but you made a Fright Check at -5, instead of "Auto-Stun", from memory. Sufficient levels of mental fortitude were enough to resist.

I understand the change - fewer dice rolls and table lookups, and less chance of very poor luck on the PC victim's part leading to "Whoops - age 5 years and lose a point of IQ" - and most low-range Fright check results amount to "Stunned".
