Version 0.33: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
- This article is about the status condition. For the spell, see Slow (spell).
| All your actions take 50% longer. |
Slow is a status effect that makes all actions take 150% their normal duration.
Effect
Slowed creatures take 50% longer for any action. This can seriously reduce the damage output of affected creatures, and it is much easier to escape slowed pursuers (but much harder to escape when slowed).
It can be removed by quicksilver attacks or a potion of cancellation. A source of Haste (such as a potion of haste or Berserk) can also negate Slow, returning you to normal speed without rounding error. Note that Haste doesn't remove the Slow status, just cancels its effects.
Formicids are completely immune to the effect due to their stasis.
