A wood elf hit by an Immobilized effect would instead be Hobbled. wood elves have Resistance to Dexterity Afflictions.

Resistance grants complete immunity to the weakest Afflictions of that Attribute.Į.g. If a character has Resistance to a category of Afflictions, incoming Afflictions of that type are downgraded in power. Some characters are completely immune to one or more Afflictions. any Dexterity Affliction can be removed by the Quick, Nimble, or Swift Inspirations. Hobbled and Immobilized are both Dexterity Afflictions.Īttribute Afflictions can be easily countered by a corresponding Attribute Inspiration, which also grants immunity to that category of Afflictions. Most Afflictions are grouped by Attribute. If the target is suffering from an affliction of the same tier, the duration is set to whichever is higher, the newer effect or the current time on the existing effect.Īfflictions are groups of negative effects that can be applied to a character. Higher tier Afflictions will override a lower tier one, and if the target is already suffering from a more powerful Affliction, then the newer Affliction will have no effect. For example a character that is Tenacious (a tier 2 Might Inspiration) that gains Staggered (a tier 1 Might Affliction) will lose Tenacious instead of applying Staggered. This also occurs vice versa, when an Inspiration is applied on top of an existing Affliction. When this occurs, the existing Inspiration is removed and the new Affliction will not be applied.

Gaining an Affliction will cancel out any Inspiration that affect the same attribute, regardless of the tier. Permanent status effects are always applied through passive abilities, and appear in the 'Abilities' section.Īfflictions are an overarching category covering status effects that have negative effects on the player.

Most status effects appear in the character sheet under 'Current Effects'. In addition to these, many of the same effects from Pillars of Eternity have carried over to Deadfire, albeit with different stat changes. Generally, all inspirations and afflictions give ±5 points to the attribute they apply to, with the 2nd and 3rd level effects applying more buffs/debuffs to the player than the last. Each attribute has 3 positive Inspirations, and 3 negative Afflictions, each with an increasing level of effect. In Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, attribute-affecting status effects are grouped by the attribute that they affect. and can be healed by resting, certain ability/spells, or will heal automatically after some time. They can be gained from abilities, spells, potions, items, enemies, traps, etc. Status effects are abnormal states that may have positive or negative effects on party members' or creatures' attributes or actions.
