Sheer fear is the phenomenon that may occur when a character encounters a higher level undead creature. The severity of the induced fear is primarily dependent on the level difference between the character and the undead creature in question. Characters between ten and fifteen levels lower than a particular creature will experience a lesser sheer fear, causing a decrease in defensive strength while characters more than fifteen levels below a creature will experience greater sheer fear, which induces round time.

In addition, the symbol of courage known to members of the Order of Voln also provides some additional protection against sheer fear.

There are also lichbane talisman which can be produced by clerics through alchemy, which provide varying degrees of protection from fear based attacks.
