Version 0.32: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
Slow (spell)
Slow is a status effect and a level 1 Hexes spell that makes the target slower.
Spell
If the target fails a willpower check, they will be slowed. At higher spell power, the target is slowed for a longer period of time.
Effect
Slowed creatures take 50% longer for movement and all other actions. Haste and Slow will cancel each other out, without rounding error. This can seriously reduce the damage output of affected creatures, and it is much easier to escape slowed pursurers (but much harder to escape when slowed).
Formicids are completely immune to the effect due to their stasis.
Sources
Other than the Slow spell, the following can inflict slow:
- Metabolic Englaciation
- Miasma clouds
- Curare-tipped darts
- Cheibriados' Temporal Distortion
- Chaotic effects
- Mummy death curses
- Torpor snails while they're in LOS
Monster Spell
The monster version of this spell functions similarly to the player version.
History
- Prior to 0.32, Hedge Wizards started with this spell.
- Prior to 0.31, Hexslingers started with this spell.
- Prior to 0.30, the Slow spell had an enchantment power multiplier of x1.5, making it more likely to succeed.
- Prior to 0.28, the Slow spell was a level 2 Hexes spell, with a power cap of 200.
- Prior to 0.18, an amulet of stasis could protect you from Slow.
- Prior to 0.10, the Slow spell did not have an enchantment power boost.
- Prior to 0.8, slowing made every action take twice as long.
