Unending Terror Escaping fear near a phasmadaemon is no simple task. Creatures don't automatically reduce their Frightened condition while they are within the phasmadaemon's Frightful Presence aura. Instead, they must attempt a Will save at the end of their turn against the DC of the effect that caused the condition. On a success, the creature's frightened condition is reduced by 1.
