Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to hit, applying normal range penalties, but at +4 for targeting an area. Everyone within four yards of that spot takes 2d(2) burning damage.
    Fear Aura: When a creature sees the death knight, it must roll a Fright Check at -1. If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by this ability for one hour. The death knight can exclude any creatures from this effect.
