Notes[edit]

Cripple will also shorten your leap range.
Story-related "wounded" NPCs are sometimes given a permanent Crippled effect to make them significantly slower. These effects can nevertheless still be drawn or removed by conventional condition-related skills.

Player chatter[edit]

When Cripple is applied to a character they will occasionally shout out one of the following lines, depending on their race and gender.

Race	Gender
Race	Male	Female
Asura	I'm incapacitated!	My mobility is impaired!
Charr	My leg!	Can't walk right...
