This of course brings in another problem with suprise and steel thought. How do you know if you are having a spell cast against you? If you are of that school of magic you would recognise it etc...but what about non spellcasters? How would they not be suprised by a non visual spell?

It seems a bit strange that a talent made specifically to break intimidate and fear doesn't actually work against this? Having looked back through previous editions the problem seems to be that in 3rd edition a duration was added to battle bellow where previously it only lasted one round....which of...

Can lionheart be used to resist battle bellow?

Sorry to drag this up again, but can you use steel thought if suprised?
