| Having read this now, this is absolutely terrible. Frightful Presence is one thing, complete immunity to spells is another. I also don't get why this feat assumes that creepy means evil, but that's fluff thing, so it really doesn't matter at all for rating, it just bugs me a little. |

| I don't hate the idea of this feat (not anymore than I dislike Archetype feats in the first place), but there are enough technical issues here that I can't support it. The 8HD ability is sort of a rip from frightful presence, but significantly stronger for no good reason. It doesn't even scale the frightened / shaken split, it just removes it entirely. And the 15 HD ability needs a serious overhaul, as has been mentioned. Even if were used as I think it's intended it would void the 1 HD ability, and that's extremely weird. |

| Supporting what Surgo and DD said. The frightful presence was something I could kind of wrap my head around, since I think the 4d6 round duration, while excessive even then, is a straight port from SRD dragon entries. But the 15 HD ability is the real kicker, since it's ambiguous enough to make the character immune to everything that doesn't already not affect them. |

| 1 HD gives you nothing, and 3 HD gives you next to nothing; both are terrible even for L. 8 HD is suddenly VH, and laughably so -- 4d6 rounds is more time than anyone needs. Surgo is correct on the phrasing issues in 15 HD, and furthermore if it were corrected to do what you meant for it to do, it would be way too situational to be useful. |

| This feat is off-the-chains crazy. Just reaching level 8 gives you a permanent aura of save-or-die. It does more than just that of course -- never make a Sense Motive check again (people will just start running around like chickens around you). The poorly-worded 15 HD ability gives you immunity to every spell in the game. |
