My poison spell takes too much Hp from my hero and the stun effect is too long. Could somoene explain what are options that allows me to change that in custom.exe.

as always thank you very much in advance!

Their strength depends on the stat you're using to attack with. For example, if the base stat is Strength, then the poison/stun will be as strong as the attacker's Strength.

You can use "Additional Damage" at negative percentages to lessen the effect. -50% will cut the damage in half, for example.

You'd probably be better off using the "100" base stat for stun attacks.

I take the oppurtunity to ask: How much is one point of stunning damage? Is it one tick? And same question about poison.

Poison: Every so often, every target that is poisoned will be damaged by its poison stat. Thus, poison is cumulative unless stated otherwise.

Stun: I think it's a tick per stun point.

Because it would fit properly any where else, you twit.
Plotscript Help isn't only fine for questions on attack system and general help, it's perfect for it.

I'm pretty sure it's one second per stun point.

It's one second for stun, and 1 damage for poison.

-1 for regen.

I thought I might as well look these things up in the source.

Poison/regen occurs two thirds as often as that characters/monsters turn (unless they have a speed lower than 7, in which case it uses 7 as speed), in other words, every 1500 / speed ticks, and inflicts damage you do to the poison/regen register +/- 20%

Also, unrelated, I calculate, using one semester of high school stats, that the expected (note, not average, I think its more of a '50% of the time higher, 50% lower') time taken to escape is approximately

sqrt (2 * sum of the speed stats of all the enemies + 800) ticks
