Blight Calls

Blight Calls

Blight is a combat call that counts as a better version of the poison call. If the target of an attack has a damage requirement or a kill condition that requires the poison call, or blight call the character will inflict damage or kill the target respectively.

When a player takes body damage or a wound from an attack with the "blight" call they are now considered poisoned until the condition is cured.

When the blight call is added to any attack even a spell effect such as pin that attack no longer counts as a spell. This means that immunities to spells or compulsion effects no longer apply. The attack is now a poison effect.

"Blight" calls are not prevented by effects which grant immunity or which prevent poison calls.
