'''Banes''' are harmful modifiers applied to the player, usually after accumulating too much '''[[Doom]]'''. When a player's doom meter reaches 100% (the current amount can be seen in the top right) they will gain a single, random Bane. The player will have to gain [[experience]] to remove Banes (shown by how many levels worth of XP are required next to the Bane).

Banes are not [[mutation]]s, and therefore can affect [[undead]] player species. They cannot be removed with a [[potion of mutation]], nor will a [[potion of cancellation]] remove any Doom.

Undead player species require twice as much experience to remove Doom and Banes compared to non-undead species.

==Useful Info==

==List of banes==

*'''[[Bane of Claustrophobia]]''', which lowers damage and accuracy for each wall the player is adjacent to (Slay -2 and -10% spellpower per wall).

*'''[[Bane of the Dilettante]]''', which reduces the player's highest weapon skill by 50% as well as their two highest magic / invocation / evocation skills by 25%.

*'''[[Bane of Electrospasm]]''', which makes suffering [[electricity|electric]] damage sometimes inflict the -Move status. (Reduced chance with electricity resistance)

*'''[[Bane of Heatstroke]]''', which makes suffering [[fire]] damage sometimes Slow you. (Reduced chance with more fire resistance)

*'''[[Bane of the Hunted]]''', which makes any creatures [[summon]]ed by enemies appear next to the player, last longer, and be better at tracking you. (Only summoned monsters)

*'''[[Bane of Lethargy]]''', which slows the player's movement speed.

*'''[[Bane of Mortality]]''', which gives a chance for reapers to appear near wounded players when no other enemies are around. (If you are low level, the reapers spawn with permanent [[slow]]ness.)

*'''[[Bane of Multiplicity]]''', which gives a chance for any monster you fight to create fragile clones of itself.

*'''[[Bane of Paradox]]''', which gives a small chance for each new monster you encounter to learn [[Manifold Assault]] with a chance to blink after casting it.

*'''[[Bane of Snow-blindness]]''', which makes suffering [[cold]] damage sometimes inflict Blind and Weak. (Reduced chance with more cold resistance)

*'''[[Bane of Stumbling]]''', which inflicts -25 EV when moving or standing still. (Reverse Acrobat!)

*'''[[Bane of Succour]]''', which makes killing enemies heal other nearby enemies based on the slain foe's max HP.

*'''[[Bane of Warding]]''', which gives a small chance to give groups of monsters the [[Warding]] buff when first seen, granting damage immunity from non-adjacent sources of damage.
==Sources of Banes==
*Monsters with Doom-inflicting attacks: [[drude]]s, [[raven]]s, [[cacodemon]]s, [[draugr]], and [[orb of entropy|orbs of entropy]].
*Doom gained from casting [[Summon Horrible Things]].
*[[Xom]] actions and [[Kikubaaqudgha]] wrath.
*Entering a [[Trove]] may come at the cost of inflicting an increased-duration Bane upon the player.
*Equipping a [[randart]] with the Bane property.

==Strategy==

==History==
*Doom and Banes were added in [[0.34]].
**One Bane, the [[Bane of the Reckless]], was cut before stable release. It set the player's [[SH]] to 0, and would only be obtained if one had any SH to begin with. It was reworked into the Reckless [[mutation]].
