Dungeon Fantasy: Evil Overlord Powers

I was thinking of how to handle major Elder Things, Vampire Lords, Demon Princes ect. Instead of Fright Checks I was thinking of giving them powers instead. Some powers I had in mind were Panic ( like the spell ), Weaken Will ( like the spell but it would take a while to regain the will back ), Madness ( like the spell but it would take longer to wear off though ) , Mindlessness ( like spell ), Permanant Madness ( like spell ). These would be either affected by sight or by being close to the fiend. They wouldn't necessarily be magical.

The way I figure is that a DF character probably wouldn't need a Fright Check for a skeleton, vampire or other monster because they are used to these encounters. But fiends with these powers would cause mental harm to characters who see them.
