Mechanics

Resist Chance

Each point of the target's Armor Class adds 0.05% to its chance to resist this debuff. Each 1% of the caster's Accuracy subtracts 1% from that chance. Each level the target is above the caster adds 0.5%, and each level below subtracts 0.5%, up to 10% either way. The chance stays between 0% and 90%. See resistance and avoidance.

This debuff has no effect on monsters whose pages list Immune to Debuffs.

Block Chance

Subtracts 10% from the affected character's Block Chance at rank 10. Total Block Chance cannot fall below 0%. It applies only to physical hits. See resistance and avoidance for how level difference and Accuracy change the final chance.
