Decreased HP

This has been bugging me for a while. Why I didn't think to report it earlier is beyond me.

In hamlet defence (sorry to those who consider that an ugly word), disciples of the land can inflict foes with the status of "decreased HP."

Which is silly, because they don't suddenly have, say, two thirds of their original HP (that would be broken), nor does their HP increase after the effect wears off. They don't experience weakness, which is how I would interpret the term.

It would be more accurate to call it decreasing HP.

Or just call it poison, like the vast majority of the English-speaking population does.

Thanks for the post, Catapult, and sorry for the belated reply.
A week of translating tutorial text has by brain reduced to a mass of goo with a consistency somewhere in-between Oliver Twistian gruel and driveway slush.

This Decreased HP status help text is definitely not doing what it's supposed to be doing--help. Most of the statuses are being revamped for ARR, so I'll make sure to fix this one when the time comes. As for your comment on poison... I had the same discussion recently with the battle team devs... /sigh... I'll keep trying, though :)

I know that tutorial text has to be captivating. ;) Hang in there, Ferne!

I agree with what Catapult said, if it's any help in convincing the battle team devs to change the name to something more intuitive. Now there are TWO of us! Take that!
