By touch, the cleric instills courage in the spell recipient, raising the creature's saving throw against magical fear attacks by +4 on dice rolls for 1 turn.
If the recipient has already been affected by fear, and failed the appropriate saving throw, the touch allows another saving throw to be made, with a bonus of +1 on the dice for every level of experience of the caster, i.e. a 2nd level cleric gives a +2 bonus, a 3rd level +3, etc. A "to hit" dice roll must be made to touch an unwilling recipient.
The reverse of the spell, cause fear, causes the victim to flee in panic at maximum movement speed away from the caster for 1 round per level of the cleric causing such fear. Of course, cause fear can be countered by remove fear and vice versa.
Dragon #145, Sage Advice: Q: "Shouldn't a saving throw be allowed for the remove fear spell? With no save, the reverse is a potent spell." A: There is no save vs. remove fear or its reverse, though either spell requires contact with the recipient (meaning a to hit roll against an unwilling victim). You might choose to allow a save against cause fear at a substantial penalty (I suggest -4), since remove fear requires a save of sorts if applied after the fact (see the spell's description on page 44 of the Players Handbook).
