Entombed has a number of conditions and spell effects that can help or hinder you in battle. Use this knowledge to your advantage!

  * **Berserk**: The negative berserk condition causes characters to relentlessly attack. Their physical attacks deal more damage, but they're also more vulnerable to attacks. A berserk character cannot be controlled by the player.
  * **Confusion**: Confusion causes the character to mix up friend and foe on occasion.
  * **Curse**: Curse causes a character to attack with minimum damage and take maximum damage when struck.
  * **Grapple**: A character grappled has a chance to miss their turn and is much easier to strike.
  * **Hidden**: Hidden characters can't normally be targeted. Hide fades when they take damage or use an action.
  * **Paralyze**: A paralyzed character misses their turn and is much easier to strike.
  * **Petrify**: A character under petrification will turn to stone in a few turns. Win the battle quickly or use a Cure Petrification Potion.
  * **Poison**: A poisoned character will continually take damage for a while. Limbs that are poisoned will fall off if they take too much damage.
  * **Regeneration**: Characters regenerating restore a small percentage of their maximum health per turn.

  * **Focus**: The spell version of focus greatly increases a character's accuracy.
