Status
Effect Summary Page idea inspired by Timothy Lanza.
Confuse
A confused individual cannot
control their actions, and will perform a random action on a random target
as long as the spell is in effect. This means that both allies and enemies
are targeted. Items will not be used during one's confusion, but magic
can be used regardless of MP. Confuse may wear off in a number of rounds
depending on the Effectiveness of the spell. Will automatically wear off
at the end of the battle. Can be cured by a low level status heal (Vilkyss)
or a mandacore.
Poison
A victim of poison will take
damage each round with the first round being based on the Effectiveness
of the attack. The second round will inflict double damage, the third triple,
and so on, until the character's HP drops to zero =). Magic, an item,
or the characters death cures poison status. In some cases the Poison effect
may persist after combat, however this is rare. Can be cured by a low level
status heal (Vilkyss) or a mandacore.
KOed
If you're KOed, then your
HP has dropped to zero and you're DEAD! =) In this condition, you cannot
move, attack, cast spells, or talk. After all, you're dead! A KOed character
usually is revived with 1 HP after a battle, unless the GM says they don't...due
to plot, of course! Can be cured by a low level status heal (Vilkyss) or
a mandacore.
Sleep
In this condition, characters
fall into a deep slumber and cannot move, attack, cast spells, or talk.
Can only be cured by receiving a direct attack from an enemy or ally. Sleep
will wear off after the battle.
Paralyzed
Suffers of Paralysis cannot
move, fight, or cast spells. In some instances, they cannot talk. A low
level status heal (Vilkyss) or a mandacore will cure the effects of this
status ailment. Usually wears off after the battle. Will last for a certain
number of rounds, depending on effectiveness.
Mute
In this condition, the victim
cannot talk...therefore they are unable to cast spells. The duration of
this spell is dependent of effectiveness. Will wear off after a battle.
Can be cured by a low level heal (Vilkyss) or a mandacore.
Blind
Characters unlucky enough
to be afflicted with this condition are blinded and their sight is, obviously,
diminished. Their dodge% and hit% will drop to 0 and they'll have a much
harder time attacking enemies. This effect DOES NOT WEAR OFF AFTER A BATTLE!
It can only be cured by a second level heal spell (Vigor) or eye drops.
Because of the fact blindness does
not wear off after a battle,
blindness is a much more deadly status effect than in other RPGs. ^_^
Stone
The character will turn into
a giant stone statue, and be unable to attack, cast magic, talk, or move.
This spell is very similar to death, except that the player's HP isn't
zero. They can be attacked in this form, however, and receive damage. If
their HP drops to zero in this state, they shatter, and only a level three
status spell can restore them (Revive). Normally, however, a level one
status spell (Vilkyss) or a mandacore will save them. This status effect
will not wear off after combat.
Condemned
Characters with this status
woe have the reaper hanging over their head! The said character has a certain
number of rounds, depending on effectiveness, before the reaper swipes
them down, dropping their HP to zero! Can be cured by a level two status
spell (Vigor) or a Holy Cross.
Rot
This truly devastating spell
causes the body to fester and weaken. The first assault will drop the characters
overall level down five. For each additional round one suffers with this
affliction, they'll drop down another five levels, and so on, until it
reaches level 1. Once the player is cured, their levels return to
normal instantly. Can be healed by a level two status spell (Vigor) or
Shining Water. Will wear off at the end of the battle.
Frenzy
Frenzied characters will be
so engulfed with anger that they cannot control their actions. Similar
to confusion, but with subtle differences. The characters attack power
will increase by 1/4th, however, they are unable to use any magic, items,
or perform their own actions! This spell could truly be disastrous if it
was cast on the entire party at the same time. Can be cured by a level
3 status spell (Restore), or death.
Marionette
By far the most devastating
spell in VayRPG, and thankfully, the most rare. This affliction is more
or less mind control, where the enemy has complete control over the characters
body, and can have that said character do whatever he desires. This spell
will not wear off until the enemy is defeated. It can only be healed by...well...death.
