Effects monitor

The Effects Moniter is by default located in the upper left hand corner of the on-screen user interface. It shows every currently lasting effect on your character, like conditions, skills, environmental or other effects.

For example, it could list:
 * death penalty or morale boost
 * enchantments i.e. Mending
 * hexes, i.e. Life Siphon
 * conditions, i.e. Disease
 * shouts, i.e. "Victory is Mine!"

If you move your mouse over the effects icon, a tool-tip will display what each effect does, however it will not display how long the effect lasts. Control-clicking the icons can be used to announce the effects to your party.
