* AttackFailureChance:
** CriticalFailure: In general, rolling a natural 100 or a high multiple of 11 on any skill test will result in a critical failure as well. A natural 01 or a low multiple of 11 will instead result in a critical success. One during spell casting may summon Daemons of Chaos, render you impotent, render you and your party and your distant relatives impotent, or merely give you an insanity point. Guns tend to simply blow up.
** Attempting to cast a Vitiation or a Spell requires a skill test, and critically or sublimely failing this test can cause some horrible effect to the target or the caster, depending on the spell. For example, attempting to [[MagicEnhancement magically empower]] a nearby weapon will instead destroy it on a CriticalFailure, or destroy ''all'' nearby equipment on a sublime failure.

* BodyHorror: It would frankly be easier to list the monsters that this ''didn't'' apply to. A few highlights:
** Most forms of TheUndead are visibly rotting away, with the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Striga]] also having monstrous fleas emerging from their mouths.
** The [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Wolfen]] literally shed their human skin, and the intermediate phases between human and wolf often have their human body twist in nightmarish ways as their wolf head emerges form their human mouth.
** The Elfwrought are humans twisted by the Aes art of [[{{Biomanipulation}} Fleshcrawl]], transformed into abominations like the vaguely-canid Cu-Sith and the [[BodyOfBodies many-legged]] Elfmount.
** The Barkborn are humans transformed by the warped influence of Yggdrasil's blackened, blighted stump, transformed into plant-like insectoid horrors.

* EvilWeapon: There are several of them, most of which are [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Outsiders]] in weapon form.
** The Sinew Arc is an Outsider [[BadWithTheBone in the form of a bow made of jointed bones]]. In order to use it, the wielder must pierce each end of a living person's limb with each end of the bow, which tears out the tendons of the limb to serve as the string and the bones to serve as an arrow. The Arc is sentient, evil, and communicates its desires through nightmares that also serve as a form of torture to make its wielder do as it wants.
** The Sisters are a pair of daggers which are supernaturally easy to conceal and lethal to those not expecting an attack. They also are able to tell their wielders if killing someone would in some way improve the wielder's life. Each one is also a ClingyMacguffin that becomes harder and harder to get rid of the more they have been used. Each dagger is an Outsider in the form of a blade, which choose separate people to corrupt and manipulate until the wielders are willing to kill even without reason. The two wielders inevitably come to a confrontation with unspeakable bloodshed, cruelty, and tragedy as a result.
** Gracious Compliance was forged from the body of an Aes diplomat by the ancient people of Corbellus before their downfall. The mind of the Aes lives on in the weapon, and is a deceitful, treacherous thing that seeks the death of all mortals.
