The effects can come from any number of sources and many can be applied more than once. You can be diseased more than once once with different diseases for example.
- ?#: You have 1 or more unknown effects. How you feel or look depend on the effect. For example you may have a disease and feel hot, dizzy and have a bad stomach. This can be caused by a flu but since your character is not a doctor you would not know.
- Ablaze: You have caught fire. You and Your equipment, weapons and, armor will also take damage of 3 per round until it is extinguished. While you are ablaze you must make a fear check with a difficulty level of difficult (31) vs your; Focus + 10 + 1d20 or acquire the feared effect as well. You may attempt a fear check every turn.
- Blind: You can not see. All attacks are at -4 at any opponent next to you and you must roll to swing at the right space. The larger the creature the more spaces surround you and the more of a miss opportunity. tiny has a 1 in 8, small has 1 in 12, medium has 1 in 16, large has 1 in 20 and, huge is 1 in 24. You may use a secondary sensory system to "see" the world around you as long as it is of a different type.

- Crippled #: You have taken damage to your limbs and suffer a -2 to attack and agility per crippling strike. Movement is reduces by 1 until it reaches 0.
- Dazed: The world is a blur and it is very hard to focus and stay upright. Take a minus -4 on any balance and a -2 to attack and defense and any powers or spells have the save reduced by 4 (making it easier for the target).

You may (50%) also drop anything that will slow you down, weapons, shield, backpack, etc...roll for each if target can not move at full speed. If the target can not outrun the user of the fear he will try to cower in a protective location or fall prone sobbing.
- Frenzied: You have lost yourself to combat. You focus on all targets close to you and must role better than 20 - your awareness on a 1d20. Failure mean you swing at the next closest target even if it is an ally. If in ranged combat or casting you will advance to melee.
