for Fearful, there is a ~68.5% chance to have no special effect, and ~31.5% to have a forced action, which will be one of the three available options.

Only one possible action will be chosen, and is not rolled individually relative to other actions e.g. Possible forced actions on the start of a hero's turn, called 'act-outs,' cannot happen two times in a row for the same hero, and two different heroes cannot have act-outs occur back-to-back.

Since these are shared attributes, they are not listed in the table below. Afflictions can also be cured within a dungeon, by reducing the Afflicted hero's stress to 0 during an expedition.Īll Afflictions (except Rapturous) lower Stun, Blight, Bleed, Disease, Debuff, Move, and Trap Resist by 15%, and reduce MAX HP by 10%. If a hero has a heart attack on Death's Door, they will die instantly.Īfflictions can be cured in Town by sending the hero to receive one of the stress relief options from the Abbey or Tavern, or by waiting until they passively reach 0 stress. Out of combat, they may interact with curios, refuse to use camping skills, or even refuse to eat during a camping meal.Īccumulating stress doesn't stop after becoming Afflicted, and if a hero reaches 200 stress, they will have a heart attack, reducing their HP to 0 and putting them on Death's Door. Afflicted heroes will also comment on actions during combat, causing stress to the party when they or an ally are attacked, or when an ally attacks. This action ranges from a random skill, to moving forward or backward, to passing a turn altogether. Afflicted heroes will suffer severe stat penalties, and have a chance to be able to act on their own at the start of their turn. An Affliction is one of the states a hero can enter upon reaching 100 stress, the other being a Virtue.
