For once, I don't want a system, I don't want trigger lines, I just want a list of exactly what each affliction does to you/makes you do.

Please? happy.gif

WARNING REALLY LONG
and I think I need someone to post afterwards...
and I take no credit for this, it was stolen from a help file...
and I'm not sure if it contains all afflictions, but it contains some that don't even exist...
Addiction - "Eat Galingale"
"Cure Me Depression"
An addiction for elixirs will cause you to uncontrollably sip from
health, mana and bromide elixirs as you have them as fast as you can.
(Possibly other vials too, but I have seen no evidence thereof.)

Aeon - DRINK PHLEGMATIC, EAT REISHI
CURE ME PHLEGMATIC
The aeon curse will slow down your movements through the timestream,
causing you to move sluggishly into action whenever you try to do
-anything.-

Agoraphobia - EAT WORMWOOD
CURE ME PHOBIAS
Agoraphobia, until cured, will cause you to panic and bolt when in an
open space, only ceasing to flee once you've found shelter.

Anorexia - SMOKE COLTSFOOT
CURE ME NEUROSIS
Anorexia will cause the thought of putting anything in your mouth to
sicken you, so you can neither eat things nor drink things - including
health vials etc..

Asthma - DRINK MELANCHOLIC
CURE ME MELANCHOLIC
Clogging the lungs, athsma will render you unable to smoke pipes,
preventing lots of curing from coltsfoot. Beware of this one.

Blackout - There's no cure for this. Being hit with blackout will hide
your health and mana from you, as well as making it impossible to see
attacks made against you, and even from you. It's caused by bonecrusher
hits to the head, among other things. BAD.

Blindness - APPLY HEALTH TO HEAD
EAT FAELEAF
CURE ME SENSES
Most of the time, you'll be self-afflicted with this, because eating

1912h, 2848m, 2952e, 10p, 8460en, 13140w ex-more
faeleaf will give you this, deafness and the sixth sense. With the sixth
sense, this has only beneficial effects (no transfixion from mastercut
gems, say.)

Bloody Nose - I don't think this is an actual affliction, per se, but
I'm not sure so I included it for the sake of completeness. A
bonecrusher inflicting it causes a LOT of bleeding.

Broken Arms - APPLY MENDING TO ARMS
CURE ME BREAKS
Broken arms, automatically forcing you to unwield (but not drop)
anything you might be wielding with them, stop most techniques from
being performed. Additionally, with both arms broken, you will no longer
be able to perform basic actions such as removing something from a pack,
so ALWAYS keep your mending vial handy.

Broken Chest - APPLY ARNICA TO CHEST
CURE ME FRACTURES
This causes a rapid drop in endurance, so while it will not immediately
affect the battle, it will cause problems in the long run.
Type MORE to continue reading. (15% shown)
1912h, 2848m, 2952e, 10p, 8460en, 13140w ex-more

Broken Jaw - APPLY MENDING TO HEAD
CURE ME BREAKS
A broken jaw will cause you to take damage when you eat anything, though
drinking does not hurt.

Broken Legs - APPLY MENDING TO LEGS
CURE ME BREAKS
Broken legs, most notably, stop you standing up and slow your movement -
two broken legs will stop you moving entirely. You're most likely to get
this from being blown out of trees without clinging using the Monkey
totem, so even non-fighters could do with knowing how to cure this.

Broken Nose - APPLY ARNICA TO HEAD
CURE ME FRACTURES
This will cause you to bleed -a lot- in increasing increments.

Burning - DRINK FROST
There's no healing cure for this. You'll continuously take damage from
the heat until cured, although a nature rain, or even time will put this
Type MORE to continue reading. (20% shown)

out fairly quickly.

Burst Organs - APPLY REGENERATION TO CHEST or GUT
CURE ME REGENERATION
Fatal if not cured in short order.

Chills - DRINK FIRE
There's no healing cure for this - and it can be NASTY indeed. A violent
bout of shivers which can be attained from this affliction will cause
you to lose equilibrium until you concentrate, which is a horrible state
to be in. If you get frozen again, you have to drink the fire elixir
before you concentrate, so if you're anorexic, you're in a REAL mess.

Claustrophobia - EAT WORMWOOD
CURE ME PHOBIAS
Claustrophobes do not like enclosed spaces, and will run away until
either they are cured of them or they find an open area.

Clumsiness - EAT KOMBU
CURE ME NERVOUS
Type MORE to continue reading. (25% shown)
1912h, 2848m, 2952e, 10p, 8460en, 13140w ex-more
As far as I'm aware, clumsy people are far more likely to miss with
attacks made, and may even manage to strike themselves somehow.
(I'm sure you've all accidentally hit yourself in the face with
your knee before.)

Concussion - APPLY REGENERATION TO HEAD
CURE ME SENSES
Though a concussion does nothing on its own, the amnesia it induces
occasionally negates an action you try to perform, with no warning.

Confusion - EAT PENNYROYAL
CURE ME MANIA
Confusion will prevent you from concentrating - exceedingly nasty if
caught by a bout of shivering or stomped by a follower of Brother Hart,
from which concentration is required to recover equilibrium.

Crotamine - DRINK ANTIDOTE
No healing cure for this. If you don't cure it, simply enough, within a
few seconds you will die.

Crushed Chest - APPLY REGENERATION TO CHEST
CURE ME REGENERATION
This will -obliterate- your endurance, within a matter of seconds.

Cut artery - EAT YARROW
CURE ME BLOOD
While cut arteries are not a major problem, they will cause you to
continuously bleed small amounts of health until cured.

Deafness - APPLY HEALTH TO HEAD
EAT FAELEAF
CURE ME SENSES
Most of the time, you'll be self-afflicted with this, because eating
faeleaf will give you this, blindness and the sixth sense. It
prevents Nihilist demons from commanding you, amongst other things.
However, mortal yelling or shouting is inaudible with this, even
with the sixth sense.

Dementia - EAT PENNYROYAL
CURE ME MANIA
Type MORE to continue reading. (34% shown)
1912h, 2848m, 2952e, 10p, 8460en, 13140w ex-more
A bizarre affliction, dementia alters your perception of the world
around you, giving strange visions of areas and people that aren't
really there every time you look around or move.

Disembowelment - APPLY REGENERATION TO GUT
CURE ME REGENERATION
Fatal if not cured in short order.

Disloyalty - DRINK LOVE
There's no cure for this, and to a Moondancer it is a tricky problem
indeed. It will cause you to radiate with ugliness, causing your helpful
denizen allies to recoil from you and your hostile ones to attack you.

Dissonance - EAT HOREHOUND
CURE ME CURSES
This curse hasn't been discovered yet, I'm told, but it's apparently
curable anyway. Hah.

Dizziness - EAT KOMBU
DRINK MELANCHOLIC
Type MORE to continue reading. (39% shown)
1912h, 2848m, 2952e, 10p, 8460en, 13140w ex-more
CURE ME MELANCHOLIC
Dizziness will frequently cause you to fall when you try to move away,
and should you succeed in moving you may actually exit in a different
direction than intended.

Dysentery - DRINK CHOLERIC
CURE ME CHOLERIC
This makes you...smell quite badly, so a cleanse enchantment or a scrub
in water will be needed, but I believe it's quite damaging occasionally
as well.

Epilepsy - EAT KOMBU
CURE ME NERVOUS
Frequent epileptic fits will knock you off equilibrium until this is
cured.

Fractured Arm - APPLY ARNICA TO ARM
CURE ME FRACTURES
Reportedly this is similar to a broken arm, different only in that
weapons held will not automatically be unwielded, instead simply
Type MORE to continue reading. (43% shown)
1912h, 2848m, 2952e, 10p, 8460en, 13140w ex-more
preventing use of the arm.

Fractured Skull - APPLY ARNICA TO HEAD
CURE ME BREAKS
Like stupidity, this will cause many of your attempts at action to be
replaced with a variety of annoying actions, such as falling asleep
(insomnia needed), imitating Munsia, and dropping packs.

Fractured Wrist - APPLY ARNICA TO ARM
CURE ME FRACTURES
Nothing can be wielded by an arm with a broken wrist. No talisman, no
weapons, no shield. Careful.

Generosity - DRINK PHLEGMATIC
CURE ME DEPRESSION
CURE ME PHLEGMATIC
Generosity will cause you to feel sudden bursts of charity,
giving away anything in your possession.
See CHELP ANTITHEFTGUIDE, it might help.
Gluttony - EAT GALINGALE
CURE ME DEPRESSION
Gluttony will cause you to eat everything you have to hand fairly
swiftly - this can be deadly if poisoned food is involved.

Hallucinations - EAT PENNYROYAL
CURE ME MANIA
Hallucinations, while for the most part harmless, will occasionally stun
you with an extremely bizarre image, rendering you TOTALLY inactive for
a small fraction of time.

Healthleech - EAT HOREHOUND
DRINK SANGUINE
CURE ME CURSES
CURE ME SANGUINE
The healthleech curse gradually causes your health to leak out from your
body into that of those around them - in a duel it will always restore
your opponent's health, then.

Hemiplegy - EAT KOMBU

1912h, 2848m, 2952e, 10p, 8460en, 13140w ex-more
CURE ME NERVOUS
See pierced nerves, I think - it's a paralysis on one side.

Hemophilia - EAT YARROW
CURE ME SANGUINE
CURE ME BLOOD
Hemophilia, a disease of the blood, will prevent clotting mechanisms
from functioning.
Hypersomnia - DRINK CHOLERIC
CURE ME CHOLERIC
This will cause you to fall asleep in periodical bouts, presumably,
though I don't think it's possible to catch it.

Hypochondria - EAT WORMWOOD
CURE ME PHOBIAS
A total overreaction to illness, hypochondria will cause you to perceive
illnesses on yourself every something like half second, with no
indication that it's not an actual disease. Can be nasty if you don't
notice that's what it is.

and I'm not sure if it contains all afflictions, but it contains some that don't even exist...

which is why I put that there...
and be sure to read the thing for a fractured skull

anyways...
Impatience - SMOKE COLTSFOOT
CURE ME NEUROSIS
Impatience stops you focusing your mind, body or spirit with
disciplinary powers, which can be a huge pain if you're stuck paralysed.

Insomnia - SMOKE COLTSFOOT
CURE ME NEUROSIS
Generally, an affliction you WANT to have, as being put to sleep in a
fight is very nasty (dream leeches on the Water plane do it a lot), but
when you want a nap this is how you cure it. Also, take c care - when
you smoke coltsfoot, this is the first thing you'll cure, so make sure
to smoke twice and then put insomnia up again. (It's a basic
disciplinary skill.)

Itch - See scabies. I think.

Justice - EAT REISHI
CURE ME AURIC
Surrounded by the justice aura, if you cause damage to an opponent you
will receive damage in return. Yes, I know it's not just because it

doesn't go both ways, but I don't name the things, some rune artist
probably did.

Lethargy - EAT YARROW
DRINK SANGUINE
CURE ME SANGUINE
Lethargy, I've yet to find an effect for, as it's different to weakness,
and no one seems to know about it, so this a to-be-updated.

Lost arm - APPLY REGENERATION TO ARMS
CURE ME REGENERATION
Completely prevents use of the arm, including wielding things, and using
most abilities.
Lost leg - APPLY REGENERATION TO LEGS/CURE ME REGENERATION
CURE ME REGENERATION
Completely prevents use of the leg, and I don't think you can move this
way.

Lover's effect - DRINK CHOLERIC

Barely, if at all, affects Moondancers and Serenguard, but if a
Hartstone is tricked into drinking this by illusions or forcefeeding or
what have you, it needs to be cured quickly - it will force people onto
your allies list and vice versa, nulling many demesne effects. Curing it
will not remove these people, and they must be REJECTed for the effects
to stop altogether. This affliction affects your opponents as well, and
therefore many people drink it themselves, as it is
difficult to cure. Drink a love potion to use this against geomancers
and aquamancers, it works well.

Masochism - SMOKE COLTSFOOT
CURE ME NEUROSIS
Masochists will occasionally damage themselves, revelling in the feeling
of pain. Often used in statues, as in combination with other runes it is
a good way of slaying inexperienced curers without even going near them.

Pacified - EAT REISHI
CURE ME AURIC
I'm fairly sure this is the same as peaced. While pacified, you'll be
unwilling to attack or commit hostile actions.

Paralysed - FOCUS BODY
Focussing your body takes a little while to do, but is totally necessary
to overcome paralysis, one of the more annoying a afflictions around. It
will stop you doing most actions and attacks, so it puts you out of
action quite fast. Hence, many Celestines use it heavily in their
angelically investible powers.

Paranoia - EAT PENNYROYAL
CURE ME MANIA
This will force your allies, and indeed everyone, onto your enemy list,
which is bad for Hartstone that don't want their demesne attacking their
friends with vines and squirrels and all the rest of it.

Pierced Nerves - EAT KOMBU
CURE ME NERVOUS
Now, I can't seem to test this properly, and I hear a lot of different
reports, so I'll just put down what I hear. In theory, getting a pierced
nerve in the shoulder will paralyse that side, decreasing speed of
balance recovery on it. Nasty for you Serenguard, then. Not sure what a

Powersink - EAT REISHI
DRINK PHLEGMATIC
CURE ME AURIC
CURE ME PHLEGMATIC
A powersink will periodically cause mana reserves to flow out into the
air.

Pox - APPLY LINIMENT
CURE ME SKIN
The pox opens sores on the body with incredible rapidity for a disease,
damaging you each time a new sore opens.

Punctured Chest - I found no cure for this, so I had to use allheale. I
kept getting blackouts while afflicted with it, so that's NASTY. If
someone finds a cure for this, poke someone who can update it. ('cause I
can't.)

Punctured Lung - DRINK MELANCHOLIC
Type MORE to continue reading. (82% shown)
1912h, 2848m, 2952e, 10p, 8460en, 13140w ex-more
CURE ME MELANCHOLIC
With a punctured lung, endurance will be rapidly lost - in addition, you
won't be able to breathe deeply, preventing the use of disciplinary
powers designed to avoid noxious clouds.

Recklessness - EAT HOREHOUND
CURE ME CURSES
The reckless believe they are far more powerful than they actually are,
and if you are afflicted with this (it is often difficult to spot if you
miss the attack) your health, mana, ego, and I believe power will
permanently appear at maximum.

Relapsing - EAT YARROW
CURE ME BLOOD
Venom relapsing causes any poison inflicted on you to reoccur in the
same instant - dangerous with venoms such as morphite.

Rigormortis - EAT MARJORAM
CURE ME MUSCLES
Rigormortis, while it will take a moment to set in, will swiftly cripple

all your limbs one at a time with a deathlike stiffness, equivalent to
breaking them.

Scabies - APPLY LINIMENT
CURE ME SKIN
If you get this from, say, a contagion cloud (I don't know if it's
possible to catch it elsewhere) and are in a public place after a fight,
move! It's contagious, and the horrible itching will cause you
to occasionally lose balance to scratch it.

Scalping - DRINK SANGUINE
CURE ME SANGUINE
You'll bleed quite heavily from this, in increasing amounts.

Sensitivity - EAT MYRTLE
DRINK MELANCHOLIC
CURE ME SENSES
CURE ME MELANCHOLIC
Sensitivity to injury increases the damage received from attacks, so
it's lethal against, for one, warriors. I'm fairly sure it's not

Severe Head Trauma - APPLY REGENERATION TO HEAD
CURE ME REGENERATION
This causes simultaneous stupidity and concussion.

Shyness - SMOKE COLTSFOOT
DRINK PHLEGMATIC
CURE ME NEUROSIS
The shy cannot bear the company of others, and will rush off until they
find privacy.

Slickness - EAT CALAMUS
CURE ME GLANDULAR
Slickness of the skin will prevent you from applying salves, such as a
mending salve.

Sliced Gut - EAT MARJORAM
As far as I'm aware, there's no healing for this. It will spill your
guts on the ground until cured, causing massive bleeding that increases

Sliced Muscles/Tendons - EAT MARJORAM
CURE ME MUSCLES
I have reason to believe this is identical to torn muscles/tendons. If
that's the case, both afflictions, if in the legs, prevent you from
standing if prone.

Slit Throat - DRINK SANGUINE
CURE ME SANGUINE
You'll bleed heavily from this, in increasing amounts.

Stomach Worms - DRINK CHOLERIC
CURE ME CHOLERIC
These often get given from a pestilence cloud in group combat against
necromancers, and can last a long, long time without.

They cause negligible bleeding. But it's really nothing.
Unknown2006-05-10 23:18:52
I did some testing, and at 5 burst vessels the bleeding increased to about 350. It continues to go up, and clotting doesn't stop the bleeding. However people seem to sip health exactly as fast as I can burst vessels, so by itself it doesn't seem that useful.

Edit: And does coltsfoot still automatically cure insomnia first? I thought that got changed, but I've only recently become interested in combat so I wasn't paying much attention.
ferlas2006-05-10 23:28:48
You cant sip heath as fast as you burst vessels, they are on aprox equal timers but bursting will do 1-3 vessels per hit so you will always beat peoples health sipping with burst vessels.
