==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).
 
 
 
[[Formicid]]s are completely immune to the effect due to their [[stasis]].
