And then I started considering, that maybe it was written without modifiers - deliberately.


So what can I as an attacker do, to increase their penalties, once in combat?
In Psionic powers there is a power that causes terror. Instead of a straight fright check it's a quick contest of the attacker's skill vs defender's will.
IDHMBWM so I can't give page #s or exact quotes, but check it out.
