Cunctatitis
You've got a bad case of cunctatitis, a disease whose main symptom is intense procrastination. You never do today what you can put off until tomorrow, including putting off until the day after tomorrow all the things you put off yesterday. Also, dyslexic people think you're incredibly vulgar.
- Sets Combat Initiative to 0.
- Sometimes prevents attacks, use of an item, or use of a skill in combat.
Obtained From
- Procrastination Giant (5 Adventures)
Notes
- This effect negates all initiative bonuses, including bonuses from items, effects, and the main stat bonus.
- Besides lowering combat initiative, this effect has a significant (% unknown) chance of preventing your actions in combat, replacing your actions with the following messages:
- You decide to use that skill later. (does not deduct MP)
- You decide to attack him later.
- You decide to use that item later. (Doesn't use up an item)
- Skills which perform weapon attacks (such as Thrust-Smack or Headbutt) have significantly reduced chances of working, as both the skill and the attack itself are subject to procrastination.
- This effect makes running away nearly impossible, due to the combat initiative reduction.
- Only gained when performing melee attacks - using combat items, spells, or ranged weapons, or some skills such as Moxious Maneuver will not trigger this effect.
- You still will get the initiative when fighting Procrastination Giants.
- Can be removed by casting Disco Power Nap, in addition to using a soft green echo eyedrop antidote.
References
- A cunctation is a delay, and "-itis" means "disease or inflammation of", so cunctatitis is the disease of procrastination.
- The vulgarity most likely lies in the permutation of a couple of letters in the name of the effect.
- Dyslexia, commonly thought to be a mental disease where letters are switched around, is actually a mental condition where letters are not recognized, making reading nearly impossible.
