### Status Ailments

Status ailments happen when attacks apply status points on you until they overcome your resistance. This is displayed to you by a bar on your screen with an icon and a inner color bar that fills it. The bar lengthens as you increase your resistances. The colored bar retracts as long as you are not being subjected to the status effect.  
  
<table><tr><th>Icon</th><th>Status</th><th>Notes</th></tr><tr><td>![]()</td><td>**Bleed**</td><td>Reduces a fixed percentage of the player's health when meter is filled</td></tr><tr><td>![]()</td><td>**Curse**</td><td>Player dies and respawns with half health when meter is filled</td></tr><tr><td>![]()</td><td>**Poison**</td><td>Player is inflicted with poison and loses HP at a steady rate when meter is filled</td></tr><tr><td>![]()</td><td>**Toxic**</td><td>Player is inflicted with toxic and loses HP at a steady rate when meter is filled</td></tr></table>
