Power (Upkeep Cost: High) --------------------------------- Power helps the scorpion to perform better in combat as well as affecting how intimidating you are perceived. A powerful scorpion will also have less problems overcoming the fear of attacking others. Further, some utility functions like carrying capacity is affected by power. Viscerate (Upkeep Cost: High) --------------------------------- The scorpion is armed with two dangerous pincers and a deadly tail. The efficiency of these weapons is regulated by this mode. Exoskeleton (Upkeep Cost: Medium) --------------------------------- Scorpions have an exoskeleton that protects them from damage. This mode will increase the efficiency of the protection derived from the exoskeleton. Additional protective measures might also be noticed from this mode. Protect (Upkeep Cost: Medium) --------------------------------- Magical and elemental damage is dangerous to the scorpion, which largely relies on its exoskeleton for defense. However, using protect the scorpion can increase its defense against magically based attack forms. Detect (Upkeep Cost: Low) --------------------------------- Scorpions are aware of their surroundings using several senses. Detect will make the scorpion more aware as well as being able to detect small mistakes in an opponent's defense. Evade (Upkeep Cost: Low) --------------------------------- Scorpions are stealthy creatures that can hide well in most surroundings. This can further be assisted by enabling the evade mode. Evasion is also a useful mode for avoiding unneccesary damage in close combat. Speed (Upkeep Cost: Medium) --------------------------------- Scorpions rely on speed to strike its opponents. The speed mode will make the scorpion attack faster with a chance of dealing more damage. However, speed also comes with a drawback as the attacks will no longer be quite as accurate or hit as hard. Restore (Upkeep Cost: Low) --------------------------------- The regenerative powers of the scorpion will allow it to heal over time. Further, the healing effects of consuming corpses are affected by this mode. Poison (Upkeep Cost: High) --------------------------------- The scorpion poison can be injected either through the sting skill or through regular combat when the stinger strikes. A higher level in poison means a higher chance of successful injection and a more potent poison. Stinger (Upkeep Cost: Low) --------------------------------- The stinger mode will make the scorpion favour the stinger over its pincers more often. As the stinger has a chance of releasing its poison on hit, this is often a good combination. The stinger mode will also assist in successful attacks with the sting skill. Aim (Upkeep Cost: Low) --------------------------------- The aim mode allows the scorpion to focus its melee attacks. This will result in various favourable outcomes such as critical hits, stunning or paralyzing the opponent or making them incapable of fully fighting back.
