Version 0.33: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

You are disoriented and dizzy, reducing your accuracy, evasion, and spellcasting success rate.

Vertigo is a temporary status effect that decreases your evasion (-5 EV), spellcasting success, and accuracy (-5 to-hit^[1]) until it wears off.

Vertigo can be caused when casting Alistair's Intoxication, as a result of being hit by a plum Killer Klown pie, or by drinking a potion of moonshine.

A potion of cancellation will remove the vertigo status (as well as many other status effects). Potions of curing have no effect.
