Knocked Down (Status)

Knocked Down is a status effect in Divinity: Original Sin 2.

Description

Knocked Down is a negative environmental and skill status effect. Characters afflicted by it will become incapacitated and unable to act. The effect takes place only if character does not have Physical armour above 0. The only exception to this rule are characters with Glass Cannon talent and characters stepping unto frozen water surface and frozen blood surface. Characters only have a chance to obtain Knocked Down status effect from these surfaces but it will ignore Physical armour.

Cause

Knocked Down can be caused by both surface and skills. On Rivellon it is the contact with frozen water surface and frozen blood surface. Other means of afflicting Knocked Down involve skills from Warfare school or the usage of items.
