{{for|monsters being scared of the player|Scare}}

In [[SpliceHack]], the player can sometimes become too '''afraid''' to control their actions.

==Effects==
The effects of being afraid are similar to the effects of being [[stunned]] or [[confused]]. The player cannot control the direction of their actions. The player also loses control of teleports and polymorphs.

==Causes==
* the roar of a [[dragon]], including [[Dragon (SpliceHack)|SpliceHack-specific dragons]]<ref>https://github.com/NullCGT/SpliceHack/blob/b29334720e353ee991bba3e657d22bacbe78a523/src/mon.c#L3854-L3874</ref>
* the [[gaze]] of a [[bodak]] or [[eye of fear and flame]]
* the scream of a [[banshee]]

==Prevention==
Fear-inducing gaze attacks can be avoided by being [[blind]]. Becoming blind after becoming afraid does not remove the fear, however.

A dragon's roar will not scare a player who is *both* blind and deaf. There is also a random chance of resisting becoming afraid of a roar.

==Cures==
* waiting for the effect to time out
* drinking {{of|potion|booze}} ("liquid courage")

==Strategy==
Players should save all the booze they can in case they become afraid. In particular, blessed booze can dispel the afraid effect without also causing confusion. There are many guaranteed potions of booze at the [[Bar (SpliceHack)|Bar]]: pick them up and keep them safe.

A more drastic measure is to annihilate ([[genocide]]) all dragons: the other sources of fear are rarer and easier to deal with. However there are severe downsides to doing so: dragons drop valuable [[corpse]]s and [[dragon scales]] when they die. Additionally dragons can be good [[pet]]s. Annihilating dragons is probably only worth it to players pursuing the teetotal (no alcohol) [[unofficial conduct]].
