Dread

So, I'm running Forest's End and the group has encountered a basically solo creature (plus some undead summons) with Dread 5: holy items. Doesn't a cleric make an encounter like this trivial? Turning keeps Draugr/skeletons an average of 8 yards away from the Cleric; Dread keeps it 5 yards away from the Cleric. It's only attack is a touch attack. It's high DR, Diffuse (and the party relying on Move and Attack) will keep it in the fight long enough, I think, to make the fight tedious as it will probably spend most of the fight full moving from the cleric, then possibly summoning a Draugr (it has Altered Time Rate), which can't reach the party (if they're smart).

Do Holy Symbols count as Holy Items?
