Aura of Despair

Aura of Despair is an innate special ability usable by Dorn Il-Khan and player-created Blackguard characters starting at level 3. 
It is also scripted for use by Anti-Paladin githyanki creatures, especially in the Watcher's Keep Githyanki Encampment.
==Description==
==Gameplay==
The spell effect is not interruptible and takes 0 seconds time to deploy. The Blackguard casts this ability centered upon oneself. If successful, the ability will inflict the effects described above, with the exception that the damage reduction effect has a limit, as enemies can't be made to do less than 1 damage with it.
The ability will affect all enemies (i.e. red-circle creatures, including charmed party members and summoned demons) in a 15' area around the Blackguard, unless it is blocked by Magic resistance, or the enemy is immune to level 1 spell power area of effect magic, such as a Lich, Rakshasa, Minor Globe of Invulnerability or Globe of Invulnerability. The Aura can be blocked by Spell Immunity Conjuration as well.
The Aura can be dispelled. 
The party may be attacked with this spell as it is scripted for use by the Anti-Paladin githyanki blackguards in Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, examples include during chapter 6 if the player has the Silver Blade, and if exploring the Watcher's Keep Githyanki Encampment when playing the Enhanced Edition.
