Info

control undead, Vampyre Charm or enslavement effect will take precedent if there is a conflict. Curse of Transformation Some monsters (notably werewolves and vampires) have the ability to curse their victims so that they will turn into versions of themselves under appropriate circumstances. Werewolves can turn their victims into werewolves who will then change on the next full moon (and every full moon thereafter). Vampires can turn their victims into lesser vampires. These curses cannot be resisted as per spirit targeting formal rules. The character is usually not dead when they are afflicted with a Curse of Transformation. Once Cursed, when the appropriate circumstances are met, the character will transform into a lesser form of the master who Cursed the character. All life and death rules are still in effect - the player will enter her death count when she is reduced to -1 body points, she will have 5 minutes to receive a life spell, though the spell may or may not cure the “Curse”. You will always receive a card that states the additional abilities of your curse that you will then carry with your character card at all times. Dominate If a player is dominated, then they must obey all commands the caster gives them. These commands are absolute and are much more powerful than a Charm spell; if the caster tells them to commit suicide, they will do so unquestioningly. This is considered a Charm effect for purposes of resists and protective and will last for 5 minutes unless cured. Drain This attack causes the victim to be unable to use any in game skills and may not run. Drain will last for 5 minutes or it can be removed with a Life or Invigorate spell. This effect is not affected by a Dispel Magic. Drain Life This attack is the same as Drain but lasts until a Life spell is given or the victim resurrects. It cannot be removed by a Dispel Magic or Remove Drain. Elemental Damage The attacker will call a type of damage followed by a number. This type of attack is an elemental attack. “10 Elemental Fire” does 10 points of damage to any creature affected by fire. Engulf Some monsters have the ability to engulf or absorb an unconscious character in preparation of digesting them. In some cases the creature’s digestion is very rapid, and the body is dissolved quickly. In other cases the character’s body is taken into the monster and carried along with it. The creature will have to be slain in order to recover the body so that it may be given a Life spell. If you are engulfed by such a monster, you must walk around with the creature until you are beyond the help of a Life effect. Fear Some creatures have the ability to invoke a magical fear. The racial ability Resist Charm can be used as a defense against this ability and an Awaken or Remove Fear spell will free someone who is Feared. The feared victim must attempt to break Line of Sight and cannot attack the creature they fear in any way. If breaking Line of Sight is impossible, the victim will stay as far from the attacker as possible. Even if Line of Sight is broken the effect lasts for five minutes or until the creature is dead. Infection Some creatures have the ability to infect helpless victims with material that will turn the person into a version of the creature. Unlike a werewolf or vampire curse, this is only a physical transformation of the victim’s body. Players will be told of specific triggers if necessary. Victims will lose all memory of their former lives, and the player must follow the commands they are given by the Monster Master until the character is slain. The character may then be killed and then given a spell and be cured of the infection. If the player dies the spirit may then proceed to be resurrected as normal. Infection is done just as a Killing Blow, with a count of “I infect you 1, I infect you 2, I infect you 3.” Lesser Some NPCs will be able to deliver “Lesser” versions of attacks. The word “Lesser” is used as the first word in a verbal and indicates that the following effect will only last 10 seconds if it normally has a duration greater than instant. If the duration is instant then Lesser is meaningless. For example, a ghoul calls “Lesser Poison Paralyze” and throws a packet at Steve. Steve, lacking any defense to prevent it taking effect, is now Paralyzed for 10 seconds. Massive Some creatures can use the Massive weapon type. Massive damage cannot be blocked by weapons or shields. If a blow delivering this type of damage strikes a weapon or shield, the bearer of the item struck takes the damage delivered, as well as any carrier effects (when appropriate, i.e. once Body Points are damaged). The skills Parry and Dodge will work as normal against this type of damage, as will all applicable protective spells such as Magic Armor or Displacement. Physical Strike This ability functions as Spell Strike but is stopped by a Magic Armor or Parry instead of a Shield Magic or Reflect Magic. The proper verbal is “Physical Strike ”. 81
Ricochet Some monsters can redirect a battle magic spell that hits them. This is represented by the creature stating “Ricochet ” and throwing a packet. This ability follows all of the normal spell casting rules. If the monster says the verbal incorrectly, doesn’t throw a packet, or the packet misses, the ability is used up; however, the monster will not be affected by the original spell. This ability must be used immediately or the chance to use it is gone, and cannot be used before a Shield Magic or other appropriate spell defense. Spell Strike A few powerful magical creatures have the ability to generate spell effects in their weapons. The spell effects are just as the spell, except that they are delivered with a weapon strike instead of a spell packet. As with any weapon strike, all weapon safety rules must be followed. The spells are still subject to spell defenses as a normal spell. This ability does not require Body contact. When this power is used, the player will call “Spell Strike ” and will deliver a NERO-safe hit. The skill can still be used even when silenced, but the effect is recognizable to all who hear it. The spell portion of a Spell Strike is only stopped by defenses that would stop the attack if it were delivered by packet. Therefore, Magic Armor, although it stops “the next single strike by a NERO Safe weapon”, does not stop a Spell strike. Since a Spell strike is weapon-delivered, the user must have the in-game skill to wield the weapon in order to use the Spell strike. For example, if the user is under a game effect that prohibits the use of in-game skills, then they cannot use a Spell strike. Also, if the Spell strike is delivered by a non-ranged weapon, then the attack will not affect creatures under the effects of a Sanctuary and Desecrate, as appropriate. Sunder This ability allows a character to block a melee weapon attack which is physical (i.e. not a spell strike or elemental, etc) and in turn delivers a physical destroy to the weapon which has struck them. The correct verbal to use is “Sunder.” Superhuman Strength Any creature with superhuman strength can do more damage with any particular weapon than can a normal human. This bonus damage is split in half if the creature is fighting with any weapon other than a two handed one. Note, that creatures with Superhuman Strength can gain only limited advantage from either an Endow or a Delayed Endow. (See the spell description on for more details). Vampyre Charm Vampyres can charm a person if they can maintain eye contact for 10 seconds. More powerful Vampyres can deliver packet attack Vampyre Charms as well. This power does not require body contact. If you are charmed by a Vampyre, then you must obey all commands the Vampyre gives you. These commands are absolute and are much more powerful than a Charm spell; if a vampire tells you to commit suicide, you will do so unquestioningly. Spell defenses appropriate to the delivery type can be used to stop a packet-delivered Vampyre Charm. The racial skill Resist Charm will protect the character from this effect. The effect lasts five minutes. This effect is stronger than Charm, Shun, Dominate or Fear. The most recent Control Undead, Vampyre Charm or Enslavement effect will take precedent if there is a conflict. Waste This attack causes a Drain and Disease effect on the victim. Waste will last for ten minutes or it can be removed with an Invigorate and Cure Disease spell. Or this effect may be Dispelled. Special Defenses and Vulnerabilities Some creatures have special defenses that protect the creature from attacks, or weaknesses that make it more vulnerable to certain effects. Damage Cap This ability allows the creature to limit the amount of damage taken from weapon attacks that would otherwise affect it. The call for a Damage Cap is “Cap x”, where “x” is the amount of damage the creature is taking. Damage never affects spells, slays or assassinates. Double from Some creatures take double damage from certain effects or spells and it is always written on their character documentation. All damage of that type that would normally affect the creature is doubled by the recipient when they are hit. Shield This monster ability acts just like Resist except that it must be used on the first applicable attack that would affect the creature. This means they can only be used after Spell Defenses like Shield Magic and Reflect Magic. Focus Creatures with this ability are not subject to Disruption for one or more of their attacks. Gaseous Form Creatures that are forced into gaseous form when they are killed drop their possessions. Creatures which voluntarily turn into gaseous form while still “alive” can bring their possessions with them. Creatures that turn gaseous will drop any other creatures being carried at that time.
