I actually don't think ST is CHR based. I know it's a mez, but it's also a
fear. My chr is around 48 and I rarely get resisted on screaming terror by
blues and evens, and it usually lasts for 20 to 30 seconds. I think since it
is a fear spell as well, it is basedsoley on magic resistance. Granted this
is just my opinion, but with a 48 Chr I wouldn't thank I have my about
90-95% success rate if it was CHR based.
