Version 0.34: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

Dazed is a status effect which causes creatures to do nothing unless damaged or until the status wears off.

Dazed can be inflicted by the following:

An orb with the mesmerism ego.
The Enfeeble spell.
Killing a tesseract.
Zin's Recite ability.
Gozag's gold aura.
The Shining One's weapon blessing will invoke holy word, dazing undead and demonic enemies.
The degeneration card, which will briefly daze those who are immune to polymorph.

Players can be dazed by a monster with Enfeeble or a mesmerism orb.

Prior to 0.34, Daze only caused monsters to have a 25% to do nothing, and daze could not be inflicted on players, but the status did not end after being damaged. Also, it could be dispelled.

-Monsters affected by this have a 25% chance to spend their turns standing around dazed instead of taking a productive action like moving toward you or attacking. This usually only lasts for a short time, but may significantly reduce the victim's ability to fight.
