Tags Directory (WIP)

Welcome to the Tags Directory:

Here you will find the list of tags used for Abilities when creating them or just when reading through them all to get a better glimpse at their effects. They come in a few different types; Status Effect, Damage Type, Effect Parameters, and General. Status Effect and Damage Type are the simplest and they primarily encompass their namesake, so the prior will have Tags ranging from Damage to HP Regen to Blinded, whereas the latter will cover Tags such as Fire, Lightning, and Blunt. Effect Parameters are Tags that deal with how the Ability itself operates, so if it's Melee or Ranged, Single Target or AoE, Cube or Cone; special note, the Magic Types, Physical, Supernatural, Spell-Like, and Spell Tags classify as Effect Parameter because those aren't about the Effect of the Ability, but the Ability as a whole and whether or not it is a Physical, Supernatural, and Spell based Ability. General are the Tags that don't really fit into the other three categories, but don't necessarily share similarities with one's in the General Type either. These are going to be things such as the School, Circle, or Domain of a Spell, Skill Based, Character Specific, etc.

The Directory itself is segmented and categorized for your convenience by the aforementioned, Types of Tags. It goes in the order it was listed in, from Status Effect starting it off down to General as the last and final section of available Tags. Next to the names of each Tag will be a small description of what the Tag shows about the Ability. Suggestions for new Tags are open, but remember; Tags need to be something generalized and can be applied in a variety of ways. Like DoT shows that the effect of the Ability will be a Damage over Time, but keep in mind, it might not be something predictable like a poison or burn.

Remember, when making Abilities, at Novice and Apprentice Ratings, it is limited to 2 Status Effect Tags and 1 Damage Type Tag; for Initiate, Journeyman, and Expert it's limited to 3 Status Effect Tags and 2 Damage Type Tags; finally at Master it's capped at 4 Status Effect Tags and 3 Damage Type Tags.

Status Effect Tags

Ones with a * at the end signify not requiring the Stat Check Tag with the appropriate Attribute/Sub-Attribute, ones with a ** at the end signify occasionally requiring the Stat Check Tag with the appropriate Attribute/Sub-Attribute depending on how well it balances gameplay wise. it's split up by the Stat Checks which would be required to apply these effects; note, some may span across multiple if there's a variety of ways which it can be applied.
