Dazed
Version 0.11: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Dazed is a condition that can occur when a follower of Zin uses the Recite ability to read the books of Apostates or Anathema. Monsters affected by this will occasionally spend their actions standing around dazed instead of taking a productive action like moving toward you or attacking. This usually only lasts for a short time, but may significantly reduce the victim's ability to fight.
