Re: The nitpicking thread
So the chance to not receive a debuff via resistances is gone now? If so, you can cut that part from the descriptions too.

Yes exactly, some skills have a % chance, like Hail has 25% chances to inflict Frozen but is based on the skills. Will change that too!

Re: The nitpicking thread
Ah also I read your post about resistances better. No the last column are the physical conditions but aren't tied to the first column. Weakened has nothing to do with Fire resistance. There are specific resistances for those conditions. Those conditions (Weakened, Slowed, etc) don't do damage over time

Re: The nitpicking thread
I would customize each description to say exactly what it does then, otherwise it's misleading.

Re: The nitpicking thread
Yep, they're much improved now.
Two more nitpicks about resistances.
On the elemental ones, need a "the" before the condition. For example, on Fire: "Also reduces the duration of the Burning condition."
On the condition ones, change "less" to "shorter". For example, on Burning: "The higher the value, the shorter the duration will be..." (Sorry, should've caught this last night, but wasn't quite sure why "less" was bugging me.)
Also, I fought a snow wolf and my frozen condition only affects them for one turn, so I'm skeptical about that two-turn minimum. The wolf has 50% Frozen and 0% water resistance (but it's act 1, so environmental penalty too).

Re: The nitpicking thread
Thanks, fixed!
And yes sorry 2 turns minimum is for paralysis (because if lasted 1 turn in practice wouldn't have any impact on the battle), for the other condition can be 1 indeed

When the crew met with Jariel in Act 2 Riley says:
But in the bathhouse scenes with Shea in Act 3:
Yes,yes, I'm a total nitpicker, but where did that year go?

Re: The nitpicking thread
Ho uhm, this is a question for the master Taleweaver
of course might be just a small typo so can easily fix the first sentence.
(cool when I don't have to answer myself the questions! should happen more often!

Re: The nitpicking thread
Fix the second sentence instead: "After years of slavery..."
It's very much like Riley to dramatically exaggerate.
