Monster Abilities v2.61

[Sierra Katrian]

Elemental Form:

• Monsters with this ability have the following attributes:
  

• Take double damage from opposing element.
  
• Heals from own element if delivered via packet or spellstrike
  
• Immune to own element if struck by a boffer attack.
  
• Immune to all physical effecting attacks (i.e., sap, hamstring, head-butt, dirt in the eye, etc.)
  
• Immune to all Alchemy.
  
• ‘Banish’ spells will send the elemental back to its elemental plane of origin.
  

Another small change that you might have missed is in Elemental Form. Elementals can no longer be healed by weapons strikes of their element. This prevents NPCs hitting themselves or eachother to heal damage. It looks stupid and for small little guys, it can be a little OP. They can only be healed by Spell Packets or Spellstrikes.

Venom: The call for this skill is “Venom” and can be used as a bite, carrier or alchemical effect. Once hit with Venom they target is in constant pain from the venom (roleplay effect only). After 5 minutes the poison will have worked its way through the targets system and they take "Alchemical 25 Body Poison". During that 5 minute duration, they are considered to be taking damage for skills or abilities that can be stopped by taking body damage. This effect does not stack. While under the effects of Venom they cannot be affected again until the 5 minutes are up or the venom is removed from their system. This effect can be cured by any means that removes a poison from a target.

Venom is another new skill. This is something that we are playtesting this year, as the former skill "Poison Blood" was often times confusing.
