Status effect

There are no genetic factors apparent, as all who contract Stoneheart eventually fall into this condition.

This is the direct result of contracting Stoneheart.

Adults appear largely unaffected even by long periods of this state. They may exhibit disassociation, spells of confusion, or partial amnesia of past events.

Children (especially infants) often seem 'strange' having awoken from this condition. They are often described as having otherworldly qualities and an unsettling aura. They may know things they should not be able to know. (That no one could possibly know.)

In this state, victims neither need nor consume nutrition, water, or air. They do not burn or even noticeably age.

This condition lasts until the victim is cured of Stoneheart.

This condition is not terminal.

Victims of Stoneheart may delay this condition by reducing physical, mental, and emotional strain as much as possible. Good health may also help in delaying this condition.

There is no immunization possible.
