Overexerted

A character in GemStone IV becomes overexerted when he uses more stamina than he has remaining. A character affected by this ailment will experience a -10 penalty to their attack strength and will not be able to use any stamina-draining combat maneuvers for a period of 10 minutes.

This status ailment is cured by the spell, Adrenal Surge (1107). Stamina may also be restored depending on the casters Spiritual Lore, Blessings ranks.

Messaging

This message indicates that a character has overexerted himself:

You hear a loud *POP* come from your muscles!

Whenever the character tries to attempt a maneuver:

Your muscles ache much too badly to even think about attempting this maneuver.

When recovering from overexertion:

Your muscles feel much less strained than they did a moment ago.
