Additional Information Set Bonus with Sigil Staves and Dramatic Draperies If at least one other item in the Sigil Set are used in combat, the user gains the ability to flare a Sigil of Binding effect via an SMRv2 attack that roots your opponents and prevents them from using combat maneuvers. Each unlocked tier of the Sigil Set worn by the user increases the odds of a flare by 1% (up to 15%, if Tier 5 of all 3 items are used). T0 contributes 0% towards this chance but can still count as one of the two items needed to activate the flare. A rooted target is unable to move away from the room but can still perform combat actions. Rooted targets receive a penalty of -50 AS to melee attacks, -25 AS to ranged attacks, and -25 DS, but this does not stack with some other status conditions. In addition, rooted creatures cannot perform maneuvers. WPS Surcharge from Premium points Tiers 0-1 are considered simple functional combat scripts and have a 600 premium point cost surcharge, while tiers 2-5 have a 1200 premium point cost surchage as they count as complex functional combat scripts.
