Afflictions: Advantage and uncontrollable/unconscious only

oneofmanynameless · 06-22-2017, 01:32 PM

In basic set it says that afflictions that grant advantages go off immediately, or last for a duration based on the affliction. Are these advantages all inherently uncontrollable + unconscious only? (with the intelligence that controls the advantage being the caster of the affliction?)

For instance, if you have an affliction that grants a fireball innate attack, it would go off immediately. But would it be controlled by them or by the caster?

Are there ever circumstances where it could be under the subjects control instead of the casters?

I'm just wondering the exact mechanics of this. I've needed to make a number of abilities that are essentially afflictions that grant modular abilities and knowing what limitations everything needs is pretty important to me.
