Publisher's Summary

The Doctor is washed up -- literally -- on an alien beach with only intelligent crabs and a madman for company.

How can he possibly rescue Peri who was lost at sea the same time as he and the TARDIS? But Peri has problems of her own. "Rescued" from drowning by an intelligent sponge growth, she has been adopted by the life form as its own personal God.

As the denizens of the beach come under increasingly vicious attack, the Doctor must discover the truth in time to save all their lives.

From GuildWiki

Shell Shock
Campaign: Eye of the North Profession: Elementalist Attribute: Air Magic Type: Spell
5 1 8

Full: Target foe takes 10...34 lightning damage and has Cracked Armor for 5...17 seconds. This spell has 25% armor penetration.

Concise: Deals 10...34 lightning damage. Inflicts Cracked Armor condition (5...17 seconds). 25% armor penetration.

Acquisition

Skill Trainers:

• Micah Fergson (Eye of the North (outpost))

Notes

• Though it does the lowest base damage of all Air Magic skills, Shell Shock should not be overlooked: Cracked Armor can massively boost the damage dealt from other skills against a target with greater than 60 base armor.
• The Cracked Armor condition is applied after the damage is inflicted.
• Combine with Enervating Charge, Blinding Flash, etc. to cover the Cracked Armor.

Trivia

• "Shell Shock" is a military term used to categorize a range of behaviours resulting from the stress of battle which decrease the combatant's fighting efficiency.
