Status Effects

Status Effects are special ailments that affect a character's behavior and/or abilities. Their duration is usually defined by the method of application.

Effects

Effects are separated into two types: psychological and physical effects.

Psychological

Horrified	The mind gets filled with horrifying images of nightmares. The affected character will scream uncontrollably, alerting every creature nearby and can no longer move for the duration of the effect.
Charmed	The character will no longer act on his own and instead will do anything the caster says.
Raging	The Mind fills with hatred and will attack anything nearby uncontrollably. However, the rage will cause the character to ignore most pain and gain resistance to physical damage.
Lazy	The character feels unmotivated. His movement speed will be quartered, and he will no longer be able to use his non-dominant hand for the duration of the effect.
Distracted	The character can no longer interact with the caster/cause of this effect.
Mindless	The character will no longer act for the time being. He can however still move around freely and becomes resistant to all damage types for the duration of the effect.
Taunted	The character can only interact with the caster/cause of this effect.
Panicked	The character will uncontrollably move away from anything they consider dangerous.
Silenced	The character can not use his voice.

Prone	The character falls to the ground and must use all his movement to get back up again. While he is on the ground, he can not attack.
Bleeding	The character continuously takes damage over time. Multiple instances of this damage can stack on one character. At the beginning of a character's turn he will take damage equal to his bleeding stacks, but never more than 6 at once, and remove one stack of bleeding. If a character does not have any blood (like elementals or automatons that are not oil-based) they will not take any bleeding damage.

Getting afflicted with Freezing again while already Freezing will cause the character to become Frozen solid, making him completely unable to move or speak and doubling all physical damage taken temporarily.
