Status

The following statuses have combat effects.

Crashed

You are Crashed automatically if your Initiative drops to 0 or less. You automatically lose this status if your Initiative becomes 1 or higher.

You have base Hardness 0 against all decisive attacks. Magic cannot increase this unless it explicitly says so.

You cannot use Charms with the Perilous keyword.

At the end of your turn, you gain 1 Crash Recovery token. You gain 1 additional token if you did not attack. If you have 3 or more tokens at the start of your turn, you lose the Crashed status.’

Onslaught

At the beginning of your turn, if you have any Onslaught status, you lose all your Onslaught statuses.

This status stacks. You automatically gain 1 point of Onslaught every time you are attacked, even if the attack misses.

While you have Onslaught, your Defense is reduced by 1 for every point of Onslaught you have. This penalty is called your Onslaught penalty.

Shifted

If you Crash someone who Crashed you, you become Shifted.

In addition to your regular bonus of +5 Initiative for Crashing someone, you also get to roll Join Battle again and add those successes to your Initiative.

You then lose the Shifted status.

Clashed

If you attack another character on the same tick that they attacky you, you both become Clashed. You lose 3i when you become Clashed.

While Clashed, you do not roll against your target’s Defense, but instead you make an opposed roll against your target’s attack. The winner is whoever rolls higher, or if you tie, the player character. For effects that reference Defense, your Defense is the result of your roll.

After the attack is resolved, you lose the Clashed status.

Blinded

You take -3 on all rolls which reasonably involve sight. You get -2 Defense against all ranged attacks. You cannot read without magic.
