Question about Persistent Attacks

Gef · 01-17-2011, 11:58 PM

I'm caught in a persistent attack, I take damage. What if I then remain in it's area? Do I take damage every turn, or would the attack require the Cyclic enhancement for that? I'd be inclined to think Cyclic would imply continued damage even if I left the area, but Persistent is way cheaper than cycles every turn, so I'm not sure. -GEF

Yep. Persitant is for an attack that keeps on attacking and is great for environmental type attacks. Like a burning area for example.
Cyclic is mostly for poisions and disease type things where it keeps affecting the charecter until countered.
