All creatures within 100' at the start of their turns must make a Will save (DC 25 + the Cataclysm's Charisma modifier; DC 40 for a standard cataclysm) or be rendered shaken. An already shaken creature is instead rendered panicked. Creatures normally immune to fear effects still must make saving throws, but receive a +15 bonus on their save against this ability. They are in addition immune to the panicking effect.| |

*''Damage Reduction'': A cataclysm with this ability has damage reduction to all kinds of attacks except for one defense equal to its Hero Value. This damage reduction doesn't necessarily need to be a typical one: example damage reductions can be DR 15/dead (so that only dead creatures and materials deal full damage), DR 15/stealth (so that only attacks made from stealth deal full damage), DR 15/natural (so that only natural attacks deal full damage), or DR 15/mundane (so that only nonmagical weapons deal full damage). | *''Damage Reduction'': A cataclysm with this ability has damage reduction to all kinds of attacks except for one defense equal to its Hero Value.
