Sample Cures
|
|---|---|---|
| Visual Instability | Requires the target to use Hit Targeting to hit with a melee weapon; if using a projectile or thrown weapon Hit Targeting is applied a penalty of -10. If the melee weapon attack is within 1 space or 3 feet, Hit Targeting is given a bonus of +5. The attacked target is given a +10 bonus to their Evade against the visually distorted target. | eye drops |
| Frost Bite | Causes 1d6 damage to Vitality per round or minute. If not treated soon it could lead to loss of the frost-bitten areas. | warming ointment |
| Comatose | A sleep in which the target can't seem to recover from naturally. If not treated soon it will result in death. | smelling salts - grants target a save check per use to recover |
| Radiation Poisoning |
This is a special poisoning that you can receive due to over exposure of high levels of radiation. Radiation Poisoning causes a steady % of Max Vitality damage to your Vitality until you are dead. The % is dependent upon the level of radiation poisoning.
|
You can make a resistance check after each time you are affected by the poisoning to slowly get better from it. Each time you succeed at your resistance check, the damage drops by 10%. You are finally fully cured from the radiation poisoning when the damage drops to 0. There may also be a way to make a potion to cure this… |
| Addiction |
Requires the target to need at least 1 dose of addicted substance per hour or be induced with the withdrawal status effect. Addiction comes from taking more than 4 upper-level potions or more than 8 low-level potions within a game day and failing the resistance check. Some races and other factors can increase or decrease the amount of potions needed to become addicted. Also, certain other substances in Nor'Ova can cause addiction as well. |
time for withdrawal to run its course |
| Intoxication |
Decreases the target's speed and mental by 10, makes concentration impossible, decreases all movement rates by half, and requires the target to make perception checks to hit a target. The target is however immune to fear. Intoxication comes after a failed resistance check upon drinking alcohol. |

| Loss of Appendage | 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) | Must treat the Bleeding Out |
| Loss of Limb | This is the complete loss of a leg, arm, or wing. Bleeding Out immediately takes effect and there is a 25% chance of death and a 35% chance of unconsciousness. This is a serious wound that must be treated right away. | Must treat the Bleeding Out |
| Broken Limb Bones | This is broken legs, arms, or wings. The broken limb cannot be used even when being treated, until fully healed. Until it is treated it acts the same as Minor Broken Bones. | cast to treat, time or healing magic to fully cure |
| Dazed | This is a state of temporary shock usually following a powerful hit to the head or torso region. It causes the affected to immediately loose 1 attack and movement action for the next active round. If the affected only had 1 attack or movement action, the affected will not be able to attack or move for the next round. Furthermore, the affected must make a Will check to use a magic spell in the next active round. | time (1 round) |
| Bleeding Out | This is a secondary status effect caused by an open wound that continues to bleed. While this status effect is in place, the affected will loose 10% of his or her max HP from their current HP per round or minute. | bandages, first aide, healing spells, time (depends on wound) |
| Minor Broken Bones | 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. | sling or cast to treat, time or healing magic to fully cure |
| Serious Wounds | 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. | first aid, surgical procedures, healing spells, GM discretion |
| Wounds | These are basic wounds like scratches, bruises, and small cuts. Wounds cause an area to be sore and if hit has a 15% chance of stunning the wounded target for one round. | bandages, healing spells, time (depends on wound) |

| Blind | Requires the target to make a perception check to hit, move, or defend and decreases the target's perception by 25%. 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 perception penalty, and even maybe add bonuses to it, however perception checks will become a fact of life. | time for effect to wear off |
| Anxiety | Requires a will check against fear every round. If startled by ally, will check to not attack ally or flee from ally. | popcorn seed oil |
| Confusion | Requires a mental check for each enemy and ally target to determine who the enemy target is. A failed mental check will mean that the affected character thinks that target is an enemy target. | time, typically 3 rounds |
| Incapacitated | Incapacitated is when you have 0 Vitality but you still have greater than -10 Vitality. You are basically dead, however, you can still make a save check to try and recover on your own. Any damage done to your body after your Vitality is depleted will further reduce your vitality, however no attack will reduce your viality past zero before you become incapacitated. | resuscitation, basic life restoring spells, successful use of save check |
| Death | Game Over. This is the end of your character's life which happens when your character has less than -10 Vitality left. | life spell |
| Encumbered | For every 10 pounds over your character's weight limit your character's move rates will decrease by 1 and jump ranges will decrease by 2. Once over 50 pounds your characters Endurance will drop by 10 per minute and no longer be able to use movement skills. | decrease weight |
| Berserk / Rage | 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. | liquor |
| Haste | Doubles movement ranges. | dispel |
| Disease | 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. | Some diseases can be cured by antibiotics, but only if the diseases are older or weaker in nature, or caught early enough to treat. The status effects causes by the disease may need treated as well. |

| Depression | Decreases melee, throw, power, and bow power by ½, and requires a will check for every action. | popcorn seed oil |
| Slow | Decreases all movement rates by ½ and all actions by 1 (but not resulting in actions less than 1). | time for effect to wear off |
