Tome of Flaws: Phobias (3.5e Sourcebook)/
From D&D Wiki
Your character is afraid of something.
When your character encounters a particular kind of object, creature or environment, as rolled from the list below, they become afraid. You are Shaken if you are aware of the presence of something that would trigger your Phobia within 30 ft. The condition lasts until the triggering situation is overcome, or 1d6 rounds if the trigger is an instantaneous event. If the trigger is an object or creature, you become Frightened if you touch (or are touched by) the object; or if the creature speaks or makes a cry directly to you.
After rolling a Phobia on the Flaw Chart (a roll of 740 to 742), you then determine the Phobia that your character gets. First you would determine the Phobia Level by rolling a D6 and consulting the Phobia Level Chart. Then you would toll a D100 and consult the Phobia Chart on page 14 to 15. You can find the effects of the Phobias in the Descriptions of Flaws and Phobias starting on page 16. Phobias are described in the following way:
Phobia Name (Phobia) Trigger: Triggers are what causes the phobia to surface for the character. Effect: Describes the stages and effects of the Phobia and DC checks related to it.

Phobia Levels
There are three levels that a character can have to their Phobia (Minor, Normal and Extreme).
A character with a Minor Phobia can only get Shaken by their Phobia
A Normal Phobia can get Shaken and Frightened.
An Extreme Phobia can get Shaken, Frightened and Panicked. Roll a d6 to determine their Phobia Level:
Roll | Result |
1-3: | Minor Phobia |
4-5: | Standard Phobia |
6: | Extreme Phobia |
STAGES OF A PHOBIA
There are different levels of fear that a character has when they are affected by a Phobia. There are three stages to Phobias and as the character continues to fail their DC checks against their fears, they continue to get more and more Frightened.
The different stages of a Phobia are as follows:
• Shaken: A Shaken character takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.
• Frightened: A Frightened creature flees from the source of its fear as best it can. If unable to flee, it may fight. A Frightened creature takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. A Frightened creature can use special abilities, including spells, to flee; indeed, the creature must use such means if they are the only way to escape.
Frightened is like Shaken, except that the creature must flee if possible. Panicked is a more extreme state of fear.
• Panicked: A panicked creature must drop anything it holds and flee at top speed from the source of its fear, as well as any other dangers it encounters, along a random path. It can’t take any other actions. In addition, the creature takes a –2 penalty on all saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. If cornered, a panicked creature cowers and does not attack, typically using the total defense action in combat. A panicked creature can use special abilities, including spells, to flee; indeed, the creature must use such means if they are the only way to escape.
Panicked is a more extreme state of fear than Shaken or Frightened.
