13.11 Freeze

Sometimes an ability will refer to freezing an opponent by a level. Each time you freeze an opponent, they will obtain a freeze affliction depending on what afflictions they had already. If it doesn't specify a level, it is most likely going to freeze them by one level.

For example, if you are already shivering and frigid, and are hit by a freezing ability that increases it by one level, you will be given the frozen affliction. Any mechanic which freezes someone cannot give the higher levels without first going through the previous levels.

FREEZE LEVELS
-------------
Level 1 - Shivering     - Makes you shiver.
Level 2 - Frigid        - Delays your movement, chance to shiver increased.
Level 3 - Frozen        - Stops movement, boosts blunt damage, plus more.

See AFFLICTION <name> for more in depth information on what each does.

Some abilities will also let you freeze them multiple levels. For example, a level three freeze will give all three levels at once, leaving them shivering, frigid, and frozen.

You cannot cure lower level freeze afflictions until you cure the higher levels first.
