Fear
A creature with this trait has an unnerving appearance. Some prey upon humanity’s visceral terrors, while others depend on the inherent corruptive power of the Warp.
The Fear trait always has an associated rating (1–4) to reflect how awful the creature is to behold; this is indicated by the number in parentheses (X). The higher the Fear rating, the harder it is for others to resist going insane from the encounter, as shown on Table 4–5: Fear Rating. When a character encounters a creature with this trait, the character must make a Willpower test with a penalty based on the creature’s Fear rating. If he succeeds, the character suffers no ill effects; if he fails, he must roll on Table 8-11: Shock (see page 287), adding +10 to the roll for every degree of failure on the test.
