Condition

Conditions are negative status effects that are placed upon a character either by a skill or by their environment. A single character can only be affected by a single instance of a particular condition at a time, though re-imposing a condition will reset its duration. Conditions can be removed by some monk skills. Several skills, particularly certain warrior skills, only achieve their maximum effect if the target is already suffering from a condition.

Conditions include:
 * [[Image:Bleeding.JPG|36px]] Bleeding, -3 Health degeneration
 * [[Image:Blindness.jpg|36px]] Blindness, 90% chance to miss
 * [[Image:Burning.jpg|36px]] Burning, -7 Health degeneration
 * [[Image:Crippled.jpg|36px]] Crippled, 50% slower movement
 * [[Image:Dazed.jpg|36px]] Dazed, twice as long to cast spells, spells are easily interrupted
 * [[Image:DeepWound.JPG|36px]] Deep Wound, 20% less maximum health, 20% less healing on this character
 * [[Image:Disease.png|36px]] Disease, -4 Health degeneration, contagious to all adjacent of the same species
 * [[Image:Poison.jpg|36px]] Poison, -4 Health degeneration
 * [[Image:Weakness.png|36px]] Weakness, 66% less damage dealt in combat
