Book of Outer Beings
Harm Tome Weapon
Attacking with the weapon opens up a menu with 5 options:
1) Assault of the Outer Ones*: Many tentacles/claws/monstrous appendages appear through portals/rifts around the enemy and strikes them for 6 hits of Harm damage.
First cast of the spell deals -10% damage and attempts to inflict Horror** on each successful hit with an appropriate power. This can stack.
The monster can resist*** with a save at a -10 penalty:
Level: PowLvl vs MonsterLvl
Major: YourINT vs MonsterCHA
Minor: YourLUK vs MonsterLUK
quote:
Horror
Take Harm damage each round from psychological trauma. Charisma save each round to overcome distress and end status. If the enemy was found to be immune**** to Horror, subsequent casts of this spell will deal full damage***** instead of attempting Horror for the rest of the fight/until enemy's no longer immune somehow.
Otherwise subsequent casts of this spell will take instead take a -25% damage penalty****** in order to inflict higher power stacks of Horror, if they still have the status. In addition to the above damage modifiers, the spell takes a further -10% always useful penalty for dealing Harm.
2) Eldritch Barrier#: Several translucent tentacles surround the player before disappearing.
Grants Eldritch Shield status(renamed Defence Boost). In addition to the MP cost, this also costs extra SP equivalent to 15% of a SPell of its level to give you +(29 + 7.5) MRM for 5 turns.
This stacks with any other Defence Boost statuses plus itself as follows:
Final Duration = [old duration] + [new duration]
Final MRM boost = ([old MRM]*[old duration] + [new MRM]*[new duration] ) / [Final Duration]
After the above status is applied(with stacking if any), the MRM boost then takes -7.5 to pay for the following effect:
Whenever you block a hit while this status is up, your enemy takes a hit of autohit Harm damage based on hitsblocked/hitsattempted. Works exactly like Yata Mirror and Cutting edge guard shield, though it should be stronger than Mirror's due to the huge MRM paid.
Slowly grows more powerful for low-level players and less powerful as you level up compared to the weapon's level, using the standard buffer formula.
3) Roar of the Void$: The tome launches purple sonic waves at the enemy for 3 hits of Harm damage. Takes -10% damage for being Harm. MP efficient spell.
4) Draw Mana:† Heals an appropriate amount of MP, you have a 10% chance of dealing 1 hit of Harm as a "Lucky Surge"†† using only LUK for stat damage.
5) Cancel: Doesn't take a turn nor cost anything, just takes you back to normal battle menu.
If spells are disabled£, the weapon uses a wand version of the efficient Roar of the Void. Still has -10% Harm penalty.
Effect:
All spells cast(including its own) while this tome is equipped preemptively attempts to inflict Despair on both@ the player and the monster, before any hits land. This can be resisted@@.quote:
Despair, x«»% modifier:
Sense of self-preservation impaired, taking additional damage from all sources. Effect persists until succeeding on a CHA save. The monster resists@@@ Despair with a save at a -10 penalty:
Level: PowLvl vs MonsterLvl
Major: YourINT vs MonsterCHA
Minor: YourLUK vs MonsterLUK
The player resists@@@@ Despair with a save at a -10 penalty:
Level: PowLvl vs YourLvl
Major: VStat1 vs YourCHA
Minor: VStat2 vs YourLUK
This status can stack, increasing damage taken. First stack should cause 115% damage taken, second being 130% and so on.
If either the player@@@@@ or monster@@@@@@ is immune to Despair(this is checked before status is attempted), then this effect is not applied.
