Force of Nature

Ability information#

Requirements#

• Requires the equipped weapon’s assigned primary/secondary slot, normally 70/90 base weapon skill and (unless overridden below) 70/90 base Tactics. Use Best Weapon Skill can satisfy the weapon threshold with base Swords, Macing or Fencing.

Effects#

• Under the active SA rules, adds 15–34 direct damage on activation (Utility.Random(15,20)) and starts an attacker/target effect.
• Following hits against the tracked target add a damage multiplier bonus of clamp(Strength - 50, 50, 100) percentage points.
• Every time the tracked counter reaches a multiple of twelve, paralyzes the target for one second at Magic Resistance ≥90 or two seconds below 90, then resets the counter.

Weapon assignments#

Notes#

• Only one target is tracked per attacker. Activation starts its counter at 1, and BaseWeapon immediately calls the ongoing-hit hook after the activating ability, so the triggering hit advances it again.
• The ten-second timer is a one-shot conditional cleanup check, not a guaranteed ten-second duration. It removes the effect only if a listed invalid condition holds when it runs; it does not reschedule a later check.
• Base mana is reduced by the shared ability skill-total discount and Lower Mana Cost rules; a second paid ability within the three-second cooldown costs double.
