Dryad's Blessing



Dryad's Blessing is a buff granted through the Dryad's NPC action. Rather than attacking nearby enemies, the Dryad casts a shield of leaves while enemies are near.

All players and NPCs will gain the following effects while within the range of the Dryad's ability:
 * +8 Defense to players and +6 / /  Defense to NPCs
 * +50% Thorns effect to players (50% damage reflected onto attacker, stackable with Thorns buff only) and +33.33% Thorns effect to NPCs
 * +3 Health per second regeneration rate to players and +3.33 Health per second to NPCs
 * Visual effect: Green sparkle trail from feet while moving

Enemies are afflicted with the Dryad's Bane debuff, which applies 4 damage per-second to enemies within the Dryad's leaf field. This debuff deals additional damage based on players' progression through the current world; see NPCs for the specific details of these progression boosts. Additionally, the total progression boost is multiplied by a game mode-specific multiplier: 1.0x / /. So if, for example, the current progression boost is +40% total and the world is in Expert Mode, the Dryad's Bane damage is actually raised by (1.4 * 1.5) = 2.1 = +110%. The final damage rate is rounded down, so e.g. 4 damage per second times 2.7 = 10.8, rounded down to 10.
 * With no bosses defeated, the total damage rate is 4 / /  .
 * With all bosses defeated, the total damage rate is 10 / /  .

Trivia

 * The tooltip of Dryad's Bane is based on the phrase, "The power of Christ compels you!" from the classic film The Exorcist.
