Category:Afflictions

There are many afflictions that may befall adventurers in Achaea, each one unique in its effects. While most are detrimental, some may actually be considered advantageous under certain circumstances. Such afflictions are often considered defences, such as deafness and blindness.

Afflictions include any of the altered states of mind and body brought on by venoms, curses, psychic manipulation, and various other abilities used by combatants and creatures. The ring of pestilence is an enchantment that will target its victim with a random affliction.

As is natural, every ailment has a corresponding cure, whether it be an herb, salve, or elixir. The powerful Tree of Life tattoo can also cure almost all afflictions, as can the Priest skill of Healing. The gem of negation and the necklace of purity are both enchantments that also cure afflictions.

Some afflictions may also be considered defencess, such as deafness and blindness.
