A poster noted that warcries did not appear to be affected by time stop. I've seen the same ineffectiveness with sheer fear:

Overcome by the waves of evil emanating from the shambling lurk, your arms fall slack at your side and you find yourself unable to move.

A shambling lurk lets out a horrible retching sound, its gut pulsing and bulging in places. The distensions travel sickeningly up the lurk's chest and wasted gullet before, with a noisome belch, the lurk vomits a brackish substance at you! The corrosive glob strikes you full in the face!
... 10 points of damage!
Acid burn on the right ear!
You are stunned for 1 round!

Desperate in its hunger for flesh, a shambling lurk throws itself at you!
AS: +460 vs DS: +395 with AvD: +40 + d100 roll: +38 = +143
... and hits for 9 points of damage!
Loose arm hold.

Tapping into the lines of elemental energies traversing the world, you reach out and twist a few to your bidding. A golden hourglass materializes in front of you and you quickly turn it over, temporarily halting the flow of time in your immediate vicinity.

Time Stop (55) also does not remove the stun received from using Raise Dead (318).

Methias was "TIME STOP" a new label for a bottom shelf whiskey, and were you inebriated for days between your order and the arrival?

Clearly more EL:A training is needed - the preferred result is 'typed INCANT 550, answered the doorbell and signed for my package'.

You gotta upgrade to Prime Now for that (also need the option self powered functional MRI USB adapator though)

I also considered this, but with my current earth lore training I was able to get free shipping.

As an answer to the original question, Time Stop isn't going to help against sheer fear.

This is not the answer I was looking for.

Well played, sir. Well played. Dammit.

This strikes me as odd. This is my interpretation of the spell and its effects:

- Fundamentally, time stop doesn't address any of the status conditions directly, such as how, for example, stun relief directly addresses the stun condition and reverses it. It simply moves time forward so all the adverse status effects durations run their respective courses.

- I agree with your statement above that time stop wouldn't directly address the sheer fear status effect. This makes sense, as time stop won't unstun, unweb, unroot, or affect any status condition directly.

- But if there is a temporal aspect to sheer fear, that is, its effect is tied to TIME, shouldn't time stop affect that? If time stop essentially "eats" the duration of adverse effects, shouldn't it affect sheer fear the same way? And if warcries are tied to time, shouldn't they be affected that way as well?

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

>Imagine the havoc this will cause to your temper time on you enchant projects. Stop time too much and the project will never temper!

>~Contemplar~

Wouldn't it actually be reducing temper times by moving time forward by a few moments... Therefore being absolutely gamebreaking by rolling forward like, 1 minute a day for all 10 days of the temper... saving like, 10 minutes per cast?

Omfg, exploit found!
