Skill Rules & Full Description

This skill will cause the targeted character to fall to the ground or to their knee in extreme pain. The target character cannot move or take any other action except invoke latent spells. This affect can be cured by using the Heal Wounds skill to Heal Body.

This skill requires the use of the character’s focus and a verbal, which must be at least 5 syllables, not including the skill’s name, and must contain some reasonably recognizable version of the name of the skill.

This skill can be delivered by touch or through a weapon. This skill can be blocked by, and is expended by, a magical defense that stops physical attacks or the Resist Evil skill, or a defensive martial skill which is used but does not expend the Pain Touch skill for that Tag Cycle. This effect can only be cured by a Heal Body cast from a Heal Wounds skill, not the spell.
