Omphaloskepsis

Omphaloskepsis

You're concentrating so intently on your navel that you've forgotten pretty much everything else. Like... how to not levitate, and how to not be surrounded by a shimmering, pyramid-shaped field of mystical energy. It's weird.

Effect
  • Prevents enemy attacks 50% of the time.
  • At the end of combat, may provide one randomly chosen benefit:
    • +20% Meat
    • +20% items
    • +3 stats
    • 10-20 MP
  • Allows you to Run Away 100% of the time. The first three attempts in a day to run away will not use an adventure. The odds of further retreats not using an adventure decrease by 10% for each successful fast run-away after the second, to a minimum of a 20% chance of not using an adventure.

  • During combat:
Concentrating on your navel, you zoom out of the way, and your opponent is unable to reach you.
  • After combat:
You notice some lint in your navel. You go to pick it out, and get a shock of static electricity!
MPYou gain 10-20 Mana Points.


or


The mystical pyramid shimmers around you, leaving you noticeably sharper. You carve a little extra meat from the wallet of your foe.


or


The mystical pyramid of energy around you glistens, and you smile broadly, your brain chock-full (and chock-a-block) with new pyramid schemes.


or


The mystical pyramid resonates as your third eye spots some extra stuff lying nearby.
  • While running away:
The pyramid of energy surrounding you shimmers as you quickly float away.


or


Calmly humming within your pyramid of mystical energy, you float away at a leisurely, relaxed pace.

Notes

  • The post-combat effects occur 85% of the time.
  • When running away, "quickly floating" does not consume an adventure.
  • This effect also lets you dodge many attacks that you normally couldn't evade, including the gremlins and your shadow.

References

  • Many of the effects are based on the pseudoscience pyramidology, including pyramid power's supposed ability to sharpen blades.
  • "To forget how to not levitate" could be a reference to Life, the Universe and Everything, where if you throw yourself at the ground and get so distracted that you miss the ground, you end up flying.
  • The "Field of Mystical Energy" could be a reference to a common World of Warcraft Paladin tactic in which the Paladin summons a protective "bubble" impervious to damage. Due to the fact they can't be stunned, they can either run quickly away, or teleport out slowly.
