Helpless

From FFa2Wiki

A character who can not defend themselves effectively is 'helpless'. This includes being pinned, being knocked out, being asleep, or being tied up. Extreme examples include being suspended in the air by a mage, being pinned underfoot by a dragon, or any other case where the person does not have freedom of movement.

This does two things to a character:

• The target's Speed is reduced to 0
• The target's Base Defence is reduced to 0.

The helpless character may have a higher Defence due to Talents or Powers which grant a boost to minumum Defence.

In some cases, a character may find themselves helpless against Mental, Social, or Spiritual Attacks. In these cases, the target's base Resolve or Resistance is reduced to 0.
