[/font][/div]

Status effects. If you've played an RPG, you know what it's like. Blind making all your attacks miss, poison inducing a sense of panic, or God forbid, you get hit with Confusion. That never goes well. Anyway, Status Effects exist here on this site too. Some spells can cause them, so can some racial abilities. Along with some weapon effects. Really, a lot can cause them. So just keep a couple ways to cure yourself on hand.
