Status: Freeze

All Status Effects Stun Poison Fire Freeze Shock Curse Sleep

A player afflicted by freeze.

Freeze is a status condition that will cause the victim to become frozen in place temporarily. The victim will not be able to move or turn, but can still attack.

Players can attack frozen allies to free them instantly, otherwise a frozen player will thaw out painlessly when the duration ends, or not so painlessly if attacked by a monster. Likewise, frozen monsters are freed if a player or another monster hits them with an attack (regardless of whether or not the attack actually damages them), but unlike players they will take a substantial amount if allowed to thaw out on their own; players are therefore advised to ignore frozen monsters in favor of other targets. Poison does not affect thaw damage.
