Effects
Effects define what abilities do. The level of an ability is determined first by its effect, then adjusted by any modifiers. Combat abilities are further adjusted by their triggers.
Name | Level | Effect Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Add Crit | 11 | Combat, Meta | An Add Crit ability changes the type of another damage ability used at the same time to Crit Crit ("Critical") damage. Critical damage cannot be Absorbed, Resisted, or Withstood and bypasses most defenses. If you are subdued by Critical damage, you are immediately slain. |
Add Drain | 10 | Combat, Meta | An Add Drain ability changes the type of another damage ability used at the same time to Drain damage. Drain damage simultaneously replenishes the user's hits. |
Add Gaze | 8 | Combat, Meta | An Add Gaze ability adds the Gaze modifier to another packet-delivered ability used at the same time. You must add the "Gaze" prefix before the ability's normal tagline. Note that no ability may have more than one such modifier. |
Add Pierce | 7 | Combat, Meta | An Add Pierce ability adds the Pierce modifier to another packet- or weapon-delivered ability used at the same time. You must add the "Pierce" prefix before the ability's normal tagline. Note that no ability may have more than one such modifier. If the modified ability applies hit damage, it changes the damage type to Pierce damage instead (e.g., "3 Hits" becomes "3 Pierce"). |
Add Reach | 7 | Combat, Meta | An Add Reach ability adds the Reach modifier to another weapon-delivered ability used at the same time. You must add the "Reach" prefix before the ability's normal tagline. Note that no ability may have more than one such modifier. |
Add Spray | 7 | Combat, Meta | An Add Spray ability adds the Spray modifier to another packet-delivered ability used at the same time. You must add the "Spray" prefix before the ability's normal tagline. Note that no ability may have more than one such modifier. |
Add Twin | 7 | Combat, Meta | An Add Twin ability adds the Twin modifier to another weapon-delivered ability used at the same time. You must add the "Twin" prefix before the ability's normal tagline. Note that no ability may have more than one such modifier. |
Alarm | 4 | Passive, Sanctum | You may place a noise making device such as a bell or whistle next to your sanctum sheet. When a monster starts damaging the sanctum, they must spend the first 10 seconds making noise with the device as loudly as they can. |
Altar | 7 | Passive, Sanctum | Characters who share the same patron immortal as the sanctum may take the sanctum's Party abilities as if they were residents. The number of characters doing this at once cannot be greater than the level of the sanctum's shrine. The immortal gains the ability to revoke the sanctum's Party abilities in the same way as the sanctum's owner. |
