What do these egos do? (Evis/Crip/Torm/Grav etc.)

[Sooty]

I can't seem to find a concrete answer to this - what exactly does crushing, crippling, wounding and tormenting do, and how are these effects saved against? I noticed I had been doing all sorts of random status effects such as pinning, stunning, blinding, confusing and so forth just by attacking with my daggers/bows with these these 3 egos, but because I don't exactly know how these things are being calculated I'm not sure whether weapons which don't have these traits but have other advantages are good for me.

Edit: Added crushing to the list!

Crippling and eviscerating are applied with accuracy, saved with physical save. Torment is mindpower vs. Mind save. Here's the code, which is hopefully clear enough:

  54         combat = {
  55                 special_on_crit = {desc="cripple the target", fct=function(combat, who, target)
  56                         local power = 5 + (who:combatPhysicalpower()/5)

Thanks very helpful! How do you search the code for these things

[lukep]

I found it through the git page (http://git.develz.org/?p=tome.git;a=summary), and you can also extract it from the module (in TOME FOLDER/game/modules/tome-1.0.0.teaa) as a .zip. I found those snippits in data/general/objects/egos/weapons.lua.

As for more general code searching tips, most of the important things are in damagetypes.lua, the various talent files, mod/class/interface/combat.lua, and maybe the timed effect files.

EDIT: also added gravity to post above.

[phantomglider]

If you can't tell from the code, Gravity pins with accuracy vs. physical power, and against pinned targets instead applies a slow and a damage-over-time effect based on mindpower.
