| Buffs are advantages you can get from various sources. They affect [[gameplay:concepts:attack|Attack]] and [[gameplay:concepts:defense|Defence]] as well as [[gameplay:concepts:travel|Travel]] or even [[gameplay:concepts:favor|Favor]]. Some are [[meta:concepts:good|good]], some are [[meta:concepts:evil|evil]] and <del>some</del> most are of the **//'OHMYGOD—what happened to my character'//** sort.((Please do //not// petition [[characters:player:cavemanjoe|Caveman Joe]] at 4:23 a.m. to beg that he restore your character immediately. All the Fritos on this planet will not help you. Act like an adult—wait until 9:00 a.m. and then //beg really, really loudly// and forget to say thanks.)) Positive buffs are good—they increase your attack or defense level. Negative buffs are bad—they weaken your attack or defense, or turn you into a newt.((Well, maybe they just make you more newt-like.))((Not that we have anything against newts. Some of our best friends are newts.))((No, really—we mean it. Newt Gingrich. Wayne Newton. Sir Isaac Newton. Newt from the movie //Aliens//. Newt Newton from that [[meta:items:soap|soap]] opera //Holyoaks//.))((Okay, none of those people are really our friends, and some of them are fictional characters, like Newt Gingrich. We made up the part about them being our friends. Uh, and we made up the part about having friends too.))((They're not really newts either.))((Real newts are just all wet and gross.))((Maybe that's a buff too? An 'Icky To Touch' buff. Those others just have an 'Icky To Be Around' buff.))((Zombies have both. I mean, a flake of skin comes off, and then just sticks to your hand, rotting.)) ((That's not true, Newt isn't Icky to be Around. She provides a survival buff when trapped on a backwater planet with a group of incompetent marines.)) | Buffs are advantages you can get from various sources.
