This is it right here. Exactly what I was going to say.
I guess I'll add that it's unfortunate, but it is what it is, without -actual- fear most people will not be able to recognize when their character will feel afraid, and it really sucks for the reasons mentioned here.
It's okay to not be the badass always! Try it! For those on the fence! Next fight or conflict have your character lose or shy away if it makes sense! Try it!
The lack of awareness for that kind of thing among other similar oversights is what keeps me weary of the community as a whole, and RP'ing with a select few individuals I trust to keep things like that in mind.
