Help: HypnotizeName: Hypnotize
Classes: Gypsy Level 1
Position: Standing
Syntax: hypnotize <target>
Description:
Hypnotize is an ancient gypsy technique that uses eye contact and mystic patterns
to lull an opponent into a vulnerable trance. With a careful gaze and practiced
focus, a gypsy can pierce the thoughts of their target and weaken their defenses.
Effects:
- Stun Effect: Forces the victim into a trance-like state, leaving them stunned.
- Armor Class Penalty: Lowers the target’s armor class temporarily, making them
easier to hit.
- Combat Disruption: Can be used mid-combat to interrupt and disable an enemy.
Details:
- Usage: Use this skill by typing `hypnotize <target>` while in the same room
as your target.
- Probability: Success is determined by your skill level versus a randomized roll.
Wisdom-based resistance applies.
- Failure: If the attempt fails, the victim may retaliate immediately.
- Success: On a successful attempt, the target is stunned, suffers an AC debuff,
and becomes momentarily helpless.
Additional Information:
Only one hypnotic suggestion may affect a target at a time. This skill does not
work in peaceful areas, and cannot be used on oneself. Hypnotize is most effective
when timed right—use it early to seize control or mid-fight to turn the tide.
