Status effects

A Status effect is a static or dynamic modification of one or more statistical properties of an entity, such as a monster or the player. Status effects apply for some time duration, which may be indefinite, and they may change over time. If an entity is affected by a status effect, it will be subject to the effect until it either wears off, or some event removes it. Entities can gain immunity to certain effects. Status effects range from beneficial to detrimental and come in four types: buff (statistical increase), debuff (statistical decrease), resistance, and ability. adds well over 700 unique status effects in order to implement various mechanics; this page lists only the logical effects that are communicated via an icon in the game interface.
