Yes after lvl 9 fear becomes alot more effective and it will
save your ass many, mnay times to come believe this is where the fear+gate
combo works great. Invigor nah about useless really un less when you get
hungry or thirsty and stop regaining hitpoints/stamina. sooth I never used
it but at 19 when calm comes around its a must. I can sit by myself at 20
and and calm bandits and take out a whole camp bymyself one by one. Damn
forgot what else I was going to say.
