| + | ====Careful==== | ||
| + | //For those who refuse to put thier life on the line under normal circumstances.// | ||
| + | * When dropped in combat and not bleeding out you instead have a 60 second flee count which is affected identically to a death count by STABILIZE, SUBDUE and HEAL (any effects that adjust your bleed count up or down also adjust your flee count) | ||
| + | * At the end of your flee count you have found a perfect opportunity to remove yourself from the combat and depart the encounter (call GONE), leaving behind any plot relevant objects you were carrying acquired during the adventure | ||
| + | * If you are the last player dropped in an encounter and the monsters do not have a reason to be targeting you specifically rather than the party as a whole you are also able to use this escape ability even if you are SUBDUE'd during the encounter cleanup | ||
| + | * At the end of a combat you escaped from you may assess the overall situation and make a choice between rejoining the party in their current state and leaving the adventure. If you choose to leave the adventure you make your way home in a fugue state of which you have no memory. Returning home in this way will never have physical or meta-physical consequences for you, though the act of abandoning the adventure may have social consequences. | ||

| + | ====Ethereal==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | //This one is highly experimental and quite possibly needs heavy tweaking. It is an attempt to create a soulshape for those who really don't like tracking different damage calls. This does have the side effect of making demi-bears terrifying and marauding unicorns relatively tame.// | ||
| + | |||
| + | In order to opt out of called damage and tracking different damage calls you have the following effects and should always brief the monsters at the start of the adventure that you are Ethereal. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * You take all damage calls and (non-ZERO) physical strikes against you as a one hit | ||
| + | * You do not call damage with physical strikes (the uncalled damage level is locked at DOUBLE in physical or SINGLE in spiritual with an Ethereal player) | ||
| + | * You cannot swap out Combat Proficiency for another skill | ||
| + | * You do not get the benefit of any +1 damage granted by skills | ||
| + | * Whilst under the effects of SAP, you must call ZERO for any hits you land | ||
| + | * Physically you have a base of 2 hits, or 4 hits with armour | ||
| + | * Every full 4 physical hits you would gain from skills gives you +1 physical hit | ||
| + | * Spiritually you have a base of 4 hits, or 8 hits with armour | ||
| + | * Every skill that grants +1 spirit hit still gives you +1 hit | ||
| + | * You must call IMMUNE to GAIN <N> HITS, and GAIN <damage> | ||
| + | * The only effect of BUFF is to end a SAP early or protect against one being applied | ||
