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 Burst | 8 | Combat, Meta | An Add Burst ability adds the Burst modifier to another ability used at the same time. You must add the "Burst" prefix before the ability's normal tagline. Note that no ability may have more than one such modifier. |
| 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. |
