i'd love to keep that element of the ability so i've added provisos and maekweights. changed "stiffling anxiety and dread" to "creeping anxiety and dread". and removed "severe paranoia" entirely. also reduced the duration from 3 posts down to 2.

i wasn't intending to use it like "HAHA NOW YOU WILL KYS" but rather as a story element thing more than a physical combat advantage... more like to give my opponent and me an opportunity to write about fear and maybe bring back memories of past trauma for example. so i didn't really imagine it would be seen as op but then you get points for story so duh yeah i guess it is op in that sense.
