Crimson Curse



The crimson curse is a permanent status effect, much like a disease, that gives a hero unique conditions. It is only found in the Crimson Court DLC.

When first contracted, the curse is its passive state. In this state heroes receive:
 * Passive
 * -5% Stun, Blight, and Bleed resist
 * -10% Max Hp
 * -5% virtue chance
 * +1 SPD

If you give a vampire The Blood while the curse is passive, they receive +10 DODGE and +3 SPD. Like hunger activations, eventually your vampire will get hungry, and enter a state known as Craving. At this point their condition gets worse;
 * Craving
 * -10% Stun, Blight, and Bleed resist
 * -20% Max Hp
 * -10% virtue chance
 * +2 SPD

At this point you can ignore their craving and let them get worse, or you can give them The Blood, which will send them into Bloodlust mode.

If a Craving vampire is given The Blood, they enter Bloodlust state. Here is where the true power of the curse is revealed;
 * Bloodlust
 * +25% DMG
 * +4 SPD
 * +15% Stun, Blight, and Bleed resist

While in Bloodlust mode, the Vampire also can randomly do the following things:
 * Scream twisted toughts related to the blood, dealing stress damage to the party.
 * Deny heals and Buffs.
 * Other Effects unknown.

After a while, the bloodlust will calm down, returning the curse to its passive state.

Be wary, however. for the curse can spread while you're away from the Hamlet, and while in a dungeon, you may come across those who wish to end the curse by any means necessary.
