Step 11

The Symbol of Sleep is obtained at the eleventh step of the Order of Voln. This symbol can be used as either a single target or mass disabling attack against both undead and living creatures. The mass version of this symbol does not affect other player characters in the room. This symbol uses the Standard success resolution system to detemine success or failure.

Symbol of Sleep <target> (for the single version)

Messaging

Favor Cost

The base favor cost for Symbol of Sleep is dependent on the member's level (not member's rank). See Order of Voln Symbols table [1] for specific examples.

Only the base cost is applied when Sleep is either targeted or untargeted with one creature present. The untargeted (mass attack) version cost increases with addition creatures. When two creatures are present the cost doubles. For additional creatures greater than two add 1/2 base cost each. Favor cost for this symbol is capped at 8 creatures regardless of the number actually affected.

1 Base
2 Base × 2
3 Base × 2.5
4 Base × 3
5 Base × 3.5
6 Base × 4
7 Base × 4.5
8 or more Base × 5

Cost example for a level 40 member (Base Cost = 54) with 5 creatures present.

  • Formula: Base Cost × 3.5
  • 54 × 3.5 = 189 favor
