Stendhal/StatusEffects: Difference between revisions

Status is distinct from elemental enhancements, though elemental resistance itself can be considered a status. For example, an entity could have a status effect called "warm" that protects against ice attacks. The major distinction is that status infliction is not intended to have a direct effect on the strength of the attack itself. But rather to cause a condition to enhance or impede the targets abilities.

=== Elemental attacks and resistances ===

Elemental attacks are used to compound the strength of a physical or magic attacks against enemies with a weak resistance to said element. If the target has a strong resistance to the element then the strength of the attack is reduced to below the normal range. If the target has a weakness to a particular elemental attack, then it does greater damage than a normal attack.
