Phantasmal Killer

Description

fearsome illusion kills subject or deals 3d6 damage.

you create a phantasmal image of the most fearsome creature imaginable to the subject simply by forming the fears of the subject's subconscious mind into something that its conscious mind can visualize: this most horrible beast. only the spell's subject can see the phantasmal killer. you see only a vague shape. the target first gets a will save to recognize the image as unreal. if that save fails, the phantasm touches the subject, and the subject must succeed on a fortitude save or die from fear. even if the fortitude save is successful, the subject takes 3d6 points of damage. if the subject of a phantasmal killer attack succeeds in disbelieving and possesses telepathy or is wearing a helm of telepathy, the beast can be turned upon you. you must then disbelieve it or become subject to its deadly fear attack.
