Buffs and Debuffs

Debuffs and Buffs have Limited Stacking. The first application of a debuff applies the full number of stacks. If another stack is cast, if it would apply more stacks, it overrides the previous stacks, and adds one additional stack for each stack previously on the target, from a different source (character). If it would apply less stacks, it applies one additional stack. The duration of all stacks becomes the highest among stacks placed on the target.

So, if one character applies 3 Stacks of Bleed to an enemy for 6 Turns. Then, two turns later another character uses an ability that applies 5 stacks of Bleed for 8 Turns. The old stack is overridden, except for 1, and the target will now have 6 stacks of Bleed. The duration will be 8 Turns.

Debuffs:

Bleed: +1 Damage at the beginning of the turn per stack.Damage Vulnerability: Whenever damage is dealt to the target, it takes 1 extra damage per stack. 
Nerve Damage: Whenever the target is damaged, it has a 10% chance to lose 1 AP per stack. If it has no AP, it loses 1 AP at the beginning of its next turn (only 1 AP can be lost this way per turn). 
Knocked Down: The target is knocked prone: It cannot move or make melee attacks. It looses all Dodge Chance. It may spend 1 AP to remove this effect and get upBlinded: The target's Miss Chance is increased by 10% per stack. All abilities gain a 5% Miss Chance per stack.
