Status Effects

Doubles total damage values but prevents the affected target from doing anything except attacking. Can use offensive skills to attack but not spells. Can be paired with confusion for truly devastating results. Can not use items.

Requires the target to make a perceive check to hit, move, or defend and decreases the target's perceive by 5. Difficulty of perceive checks increased by 1 level. If the target fails their perceive check when moving, the target will fall down. Depending on the cause of blindness, it could become permanent - such will depend upon the situation and GM. If blindness does become permanent, it is possible to develop other senses to remove the perceive penalty, and even maybe add bonuses to it, however perceive checks will become a fact of life.

Causes the target to protect whoever or whatever charmed the target.

Requires a normal insight check for each enemy and ally target to determine who the enemy target is. A failed check will mean that the affected character thinks that target is an enemy target.

Decreases the target's perceive by 3.

Causes 1d4 damage to Vitality and Power per round or minute.

Depends upon GM's description of the disease but usually contains several status effects. The typical disease will contain a mixture of effects such as poison, fatigue, and anxiety. Some diseases contain even more effects. The more powerful the disease, the harder it is to cure. One of the most dangerous diseases in Nor'Ova is the Bitterwood disease, which causes the inflicted to rot quickly while alive, like a dying tree. That would cause various status effects, such as dehydration, nausea, sickness, fatigue, depression, anxiety, confusion, and more, with more status effects coming and strengthening as the disease runs its course. /backdrop/items/antibiotic

Decreases all move rates by ½, and offensive, and bow power by ½. Typically is a result of low Power.

Causes the target to forget what they are doing, requiring (at least) a normal insight check.

Causes 1d8 damage to Power per round or minute. Can be combined with Dehydration for greater Power loss. Can lead to Heat Stroke if not cured within one game hour.

Decreases the target's speed, intellect, and wisdom traits by 2, makes focus a hard check or greater, decreases all movement rates by half, and requires the target to make normal perceive checks to hit a target. The target is however immune to fear.

Intoxication comes after a failed immunity check upon drinking alcohol, or drinking enough that the intoxication level is 100. 

This is the loss of a finger or toe. The immediate loss will have the secondary status effect of Bleeding Out, but once treated should not affect the character (GM Discretion)

Causes the target to not desire to do anything. Requires normal mental balance checks to do any action.

These are minor bones that don't really prevent the character from fighting or walking, but will cause continual pain. The character will be unable to run or climb or fly and unable to use magic or skills that cost more than one action until the break is treated.

Decreases all movement rates by half, usually for 3 rounds though can last longer or not as long. This is a weaker version of the sickness status effect. 

A condition widely known to be caused by coming into contact with vengeful spirits. If contracted, the body experiences intense chills, heavy sweating, and nervous ticks. The fever makes it impossible for the afflicted to cast any spells due to the inability to concentrate, and should it not be treated within 3 game days there is a 1 in 6 chance (roll a 6 on a 1d6) that the afflicted will die of fear-induced cardiac failure. 

A terror-induced fever which causes sweating, overheating, loss of focus, Fatigue, and 1d6 Vitality damage per round, has no physical source so it cannot be treated with medicine or cooled with water, and only breaks when the spell ends or the fear is somehow quieted. 

These are far more grievous wounds and can be life threatening, such as deep cuts, impaled objects, and the like. The seriously wounded can not act until the wound is cared for and treated.

Causes the target to be unable to act until awakened. 

Slowly turns the target into stone one portion of the body at a time. Total transformation takes 6 rounds or 60 seconds.

Causes target to receive 1d4 damage to Vitality each time the target is touched on its burned skin.

Decreases all move rates by ¾, and causes anxiety and sickness.
