Unclear talent/item descriptions

[omeg]

I think having a single thread for that may be a good idea.

[RC4] Talent - Damage Smearing (Chronomancy/Temporal Combat)
For the next X turns, you convert all non-temporal damage you receive into temporal damage spread over six turns. The duration will scale with your Paradox.
When do I start to receive the damage? After the X turns I guess, but it's not specified.

[RC4] Item - Rod of Annulment
It can be used to force some of your foes infusions, runes or talents on cooldown, costing 30 power out of 30/30.
That's really unclear. Does it affect one talent/rune/infusion? What chance does it have to work? Maybe it tries to disable all effects with certain probability? No idea.

[RC4] Effect - Continuum Destabilization
The target has been affected by space or time manipulations and is becoming more resistant to them (+9).
What exactly does that mean? +9 temporal resistance? Immunity to chronomancy talents? Something else?

This does exactly what it says it does. If you activate Damage Smearing, and then some monster hits you for 6 damage, instead you will take 1 damage per turn for the next 6 turns. If, the turn after that, it hits you for 12 damage, you will take 1 damage per turn for the next 5 turns and 2 damage per turn for the next 6 turns, for a total of 3 dpt for 5 turns and 2 dpt for another turn.

Other things I've noted:

1) Ghoul retch fails to mention that it scales with constitution.

2) Ghoulish leap fails to mention that the leap is followed by an attack.

3) The flameshock spell does not mention that its damage is a dot.

[RC4] Talent - Pinning Shot (Technique/Archery prowess) (probable typo - should be 'Prowess')
You fire a pinning shot, doing X% damage and pinning your target to the ground for Y turns. The pinning chance increases with your Dexterity.
What exactly is the chance?

Same thing with Scatter Shot.

[phantomglider]

The chance is an accuracy vs. physical save check. Most things that say "the chance increases with foo" work that way.

[omeg]

[1.0] Talent - Creeping Darkness (Cursed/Darkness)
Doesn't mention for how long the darkness stays.

[omeg]

[1.0] Talent - Celestial / Glyphs
Doesn't specify the size/shape/area of the glyph.

[omeg]

[1.0] Talent - Jumpgate (Celestial / Twilight)
Minor thing, but the description doesn't show increased max range with increasing talent level:
"...as long as you are within 13 tiles of it."
Should be
"...as long as you are within 13->[16] tiles of it."

[wobbly]

Shield expertise is increadibly vague as far as what it actually does.

[wobbly]

Lethality doesn't mention the critical strike bonus only applies to daggers.

[Guevara-chan]

Could it also be mentioned, please, that Corpathus resets itself after spawning slimy cuitie ?

[Nivrax]

Steamroller prodigy don't mention how long the damage buff last for (2 turns only). What activates the buff is also worded a bit unclear. Reading it, I though you have to kill marked enemy to get buff, but simple rushing foe will give and stack it on you.

[1.0] Summoner: Grand Arrival
Firedrake: Appears with one fire drake hatchling

..but for higher talent levels (or Willpower?) you get 2-3 hatchlings. The number should be updated dynamically: 1 [->2]


[1.0] Summoner: Resilience

..doesn't give any numbers for how much it increases lifetime and constitution. But the numbers seem to be fixed to something like: +1 turn and +2 constitution per talent level

[Velorien]

[1.0] Spell/Staff Combat - Defensive Posture
The description doesn't mention scaling at all, but it definitely scales with something.

Also, this thread needs to be stickied like the Typos thread.
