Fear & Horror Checks:
Fear is a response to an immediate threat, usually that of a monster or an enemy. Horror, on the other hand, implies a certain amount of revulsion, anguish, and repugnance.
Some situations evoke both fear and horror. When both a fear and a horror check are required, the player rolls the horror check first. If the roll fails, the fear check isn't necessary. If the character's horror check succeeds, the player then rolls a second saving throw for fear.
Fear and Horror checks use a character's Wisdom Saving Throw bonus vs DC assigned by the Dungeon Master.
