In video games, status effects are any condition that hinders a character's abilities in battle. These are often caused by enemy attacks and can have a variety of negative effects. Over time, a number of specific types have appeared, usually with differing effects. For example, Poison is going to slowly sap your HP. Silence is going to block your magic. Paralysis is going to keep you from moving. They show up most commonly in RPGs, though they might also appear in Real-Time Strategy (to accentuate the "strategy" part), and even occasionally in Action Games, mostly those with RPG Elements.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Games with these effects will usually feature a spell or item that cures each one individually, as well as another item, encountered later, that will cure all of them. By some inexplicable homeopathy by design, monsters that cause these effects will frequently drop the item that cures it. Don't think about it too much. Then again, anti-venom in Real Life is actually made from the venom itself, so it may count as Truth in Television if you completely ignore all of the processes involved in making antivenom.
As documented in Useless Useful Spells, these effects are almost always going to get used on you, thanks to the fact that they tend to linger and continue to hurt you outside of battle; unlike you, enemies always show up for battle in full health.
Many of the status ailments have equivalent Status Buffs, with opposite effects. Note that despite what is said below, any status effect that prevents a character from taking any action may sometimes disappear on any hit (especially if there are no other party members in the game in question), and many of them will often fix themselves after several rounds, even if they're permanent until cured in other games. There's also the case of the One Curse Limit in which one status ailment can be overwritten by a second entirely separate status ailment, or having one status ailment makes you effectively immune to getting another.

Another nasty one is Disease from the later Wizardry games, which while technically a Plague, operates like a curse, and will steadily destroy a character from their skills to permanent stat damage, from which there is no recovery-not even death and resurrection will restore the character.

Shin Megami Tensei IV has Sickness, which reduces evasion to 0 and physical damage by a quarter. What makes it unique is that it's contagious - every turn, if there's a Sick character in the party, all other party members have a chance to become Sick. Fortunately, items and skills that cure Poison also cure Sickness.

The Arc the Lad series has the Hemo-ji status. Hemo-ji are odd yeti-like creatures with butterfaces that can transform other beings into another of their kind temporarily by touch; being afflicted lowers their attack as well as disabling magic casting. Chongara can find a wild Hemo-ji for his Summon Magic repetoire to induce this status in enemies.

In the first four .hack// games, this is the player, Kite's, special ability, the Data Drain. Data Drain is typically used on invincible boss monsters to make them vulnerable, but you can use it on regular enemies as well, which will cause them to transform into the lowest level monster that shares their general "form". Since you can only use data drain a limited number of times before getting a game over, this is normally avoided, but it can let you make your way deep into dungeons even if you're too low of a level. And, of course, a monster that's been data drained gives next to no experience, so it will actually prevent you from leveling up normally if you use it too much.

Company of Heroes uses two sets of status effects, one for infantry and one for vehicles. High concentrations of fire, like from a MG42 or Browning .30cal, can suppress and eventually pin enemy infantry, slowing their movement to a crawl and reducing their firepower drastically. Vehicles can suffer critical hits to various components, like engine or main gun Damaged or Destroyed, in addition to being buttoned up by Bren gun fire. The ones that both infantry and vehicles both suffer from are stun and burn damage (no text color to indicate this, but then again it's rather hard to not notice the flames).
Dawn of War 2 (which runs on the same engine) uses a similar but simplified system that resembles its Tabletop Strategy counterpart. Infantry under fire from heavy weapons or special attacks can be suppressed (glowing red unit tag), cutting movement and attack. Vehicles can be disabled (can't do anything for a few seconds), suffer rear armor hits (increased damage, or any damage at all from small arms fire) or go out of control (roll forward swerving wildly and damaging anything it runs over until it hits a wall and explodes), all shown by brief text tags.

The Shadow Hearts series have the Instant Death ring ability. It's insteresting to note how the games make a point to mention that it's just another round-of-the-mill status ailment that can be easily negated by equiping your character with the correct acccesory — in this case, a sad looking Teddie bear whose origins varies from game to game

Guild Wars 2 has the "downed" state: when your HP reaches 0, your character will fall to the ground and their skill bar will be replaced by a handful of "downed" skills. If you manage to kill something using these skills before your consciousness meter runs out, you will "rally" and return to form. Otherwise, you will die. If this happens underwater, you will go into a "drowning" state instead, which works in much the same way, except that you can also swim to the surface to rally.

In the Mega Man Battle Network series, this effect makes you unable to see any objects or enemies, though you can still see incoming attacks just fine. When it's on AI-controlled foes, they either attack aimlessly or stop attacking entirely.

In Disgaea, being hit with Amnesia from an attack (marked by red question marks floating over the victim's head) will result in the victim being unable to use anything other than regular attacks.
In Phantom Brave and Makai Kingdom, it prohibits all but a weapon's basic non-MP-using attack. The same can be achieved by standing on Silence Geo Effects in Disgaea.

Monster Hunter has a few other afflictions — Muddy is the desert counterpart to Snowy, Soiled prevents you from eating any items, Fatigue drains the stamina bar to its minimum value while preventing the use of food items that restore stamina, Thunderblight makes you easier to stun, and Dragonblight reduces your Affinity, which in turn reduces the amount of Critical Hits you will land.
In Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Dragonblight also disables your weapon's element or status. It also introduces Slime (called Blastblight in later games), which causes the victim to explode for added pain after a period of time or from heavy trauma. Rolling will wipe the slime off, but make it quick!
In Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Seltas and Tetsucabra have a weaker version of Fatigue that only drains the stamina bar but allow it to restore over time. Web Bound is inflicted by Nerscylla to bind hunters in place until they can break free or until Nerscylla can inflict Sleep or Poison. Gogmazios may drop slicks of Oil that behave like both Web Bound and Slime.
Monster Hunter Generations adds Bubbles, which improves evasive abilities but degrades into uncontrollable sliding and flailing if hit by bubbles a second time. Mucus does nothing on its own, but punishes dodging by causing debris to stick to the hunter and prevent most actions. This game also adds a standard control-reversing Confusion effect.

Animate Dead in Romancing SaGa, It's casted on a fallen character and the affected character is under the caster's control and fights as it's ally, those afflicted by it cannot be lifted of it until they run out of HP again unless you have the Moonstone or anything that Negates Necromancy magic. Only 2 bosses use it, bad news is that one of them is the final boss.

Team Fortress Classic gives the Spy Gas Grenades, which cause players who are hit by it to experience severe hallucinations, which include seeing enemies and teammates, among other things. The Medic and Scout get Concussion Grenades, which cause those hit to have their view sway uncontrollably, making it harder to aim.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark has Exhaust, which prevents a character from gaining the benefit of Quicken for two turns. As the Quicken buff gives the character an immediate extra turn, this exists (and is automatically applied after the Quickened turn ends) to prevent you from breaking the game over your knee. There are also several debuffs named “<Stat> Down”, which reduce that stat.

Darkstalkers has Anakaris's Pharaoh's Curse, which changes the opponent into something small and weak, with what that thing is depending on the character (Rikuo becomes a frog, Pyron becomes a tiny living flame, Demitri, Morrigan and Lilith all become bats, etc). In MarvelVsCapcom2, however, the attack instead turns every character into a generic imp/goblin creature, due to the large roaster.

Power Pro-kun Pocket games usually have seven possible status effects divided between body and mental ("kokoro" — heart in the figurative sense) ailments. They'll generally drop motivation and health between turns or prevent the protagonist from training, and to heal them the player must roll the dice. Two are particularly vicious: getting lovestuck causes the dating option to randomly be the only one available, but on top of that the protagonist can get so air-headed he'll be run over by a truck afterwards. The other one is becoming an otaku (or rather, a "mania"), which on top of also wasting turns is incurable in some of the games and leads to a bad ending where the protagonist becomes an useless shut-in.

Cthulhu Saves the World has Insanity, an enemy-exclusive status effect. Every enemy can be Driven to Madness, which increases the damage they take, but at the same time lets them do more damage, and in some cases lets them use abilities they weren't able to before. They also have an unique "insane" sprite to represent it.

In Dark Souls, Basilisks can inflict a 'cursed' status upon you if you stay in their steam for too long. Not only does it instantly turn you to stone and kill you, it also permanently halves your health bar until you use a Purging Stone or go to the healer in New Londo, which requires trekking through a dangerous ruin filled with ghosts. Before patch 1.05, the halving effect even stacked, meaning you could end up with a tiny sliver of a health bar if you were cursed multiple times.
Dark Souls II split cursed into two effects, one keeping the name which causes the same amount of hollowing as one death and the other, called petrification, getting the instant death effect.

Rose from Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 has the ability "Goatify" which fires a magic blast with a small splash. Any zombies hit by this are temporarily turned into Stinky Goats, who have reduced power and weak abilities. Of course, the Hover-Goat 3000 is immune, by virtue of already being a Goat.

Guild Wars has Deep Wound, which reduces maximum HP and healing by 20% for its duration. This condition is popular amongst PvPers who like to use a tactic known as "spiking": the entire team targets a single enemy player, counts down from 3, then simultaneously blast them with their most powerful skills.
Corpses, of all things, get their own status effect: "Exploited". Once a corpse is exploited, it will turn black and cannot be exploited again, nor can it be unexploited (except through resurrecting and then dying again). This differs from the "Destroyed" effect mentioned above in that it doesn't affect the corpse's ability to get resurrected; instead, it's used to limit certain Necromancer skills which use corpses as a resource.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey has Bomb. If a character suffering from Bomb is hit again, they die instantly, and their HP is divided up and dealt as damage to the rest of the party.
Shin Megami Tensei IV has Sickness, which reduces evasion to 0 and physical damage by a quarter. What makes it unique is that it's contagious - every turn, if there's a Sick character in the party, all other party members have a chance to become Sick. Fortunately, items and skills that cure Poison also cure Sickness.

The Tales series have always approached this effect somewhat differently with systems like Overlimit and Spirits Blaster. At first, this just provided temporary immunity to staggering when the target took enough damage (essentially, it was something of a desperation move). However, as the games went on, Overlimit gained a gauge that could be built up through causing and receiving damage. Characters were still immune to staggering after it was activated, except the overpowered Mystic Artes were now easier to use since you could trigger them on a whim.
Tales of Vesperia takes this one step further with the option to stack up to four Overlimits at once. The PS3 version increased this to eight.

Shin Megami Tensei
Appears in Shin Megami Tensei IV as Brand. Though few enemies can inflict it, all of them DLC (Raphael's Stigmata Strike, Gabriel's Lamentation and the Ancient of Days' Stigmatic Gleam) it can be one of the most horrible ailments, given it cannot be healed even with Salvation; it naturally fades over time.
Both Devil Survivor and Devil Survivor 2 have Curse, an ailment inflicted by the Mystic-elemental spell Diajama and the higher-leveled Ghost Race demons' Racial Skill Possession respectively, which drops all HP and MP recovery to zero. However, rather than the horror that is Brand, Curse can be healed with Amrita, Prayer, or even the Megami Race demons' Racial Skill, significantly reducing the risk it poses.

Diablo II has the Necromancer class, with a whole tree devoted to various curses. These curses can lower an enemy's resistance to physical or elemental damage(Amplify Damage and Lower Resist), or cause various other status effects such as Fear or Confuse(via the Terror and Confuse curses, respectively). Other classes can sometimes use these curses via charged items(such as a Wand of Lower Resist) or items with a chance to cast a specific curse upon striking(such as the popular Dracul's Grasp unique gloves, with their 5% chance to cast Life Tap on striking).

In Etrian Odyssey, Curse causes the affected character to take half the damage they inflict to their enemy. This is a loathed status effect due to Health/Damage Asymmetry: Enemies, especially bosses, have thousands to tens of thousands of HP but deals maybe just hundreds of HP at a time, while your characters who cannot have more than 999 HP can deal upwards to thousands to HP damage with the right skill, which means a cursed enemy can inflict Total Party Kill on you while suffering little more than scratch, while your cursed party can cause Total Party Kill on themselves if they decide to go crazy with damage. Even worse, some enemies will only give specific Vendor Trash items if they die from the Curse backlash damage, which often necessitates the use of Formaldehyde which allows you to obtain said special drops regardless of how you kill the enemy.

However, in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, being silenced will only block off abilities that would intuitively require speaking — magic spells, but also abilities like "Cheer" and "Advice".
Its cousin, Addled, blocks everything that isn't a basic attack and movement, but it barely ever shows up.
Silence also blocks off certain physical abilities like the Warrior's Shout abilities. However, being silenced never actually makes characters or monsters unable to talk.

Dawn of War 2 (which runs on the same engine) uses a similar but simplified system that resembles its Tabletop Strategy counterpart. Infantry under fire from heavy weapons or special attacks can be suppressed (glowing red unit tag), cutting movement and attack. Vehicles can be disabled (can't do anything for a few seconds), suffer rear armor hits (increased damage, or any damage at all from small arms fire) or go out of control (roll forward swerving wildly and damaging anything it runs over until it hits a wall and explodes), all shown by brief text tags.

Town of Salem has the Plaguebearer's infection. Infected players spread the infection by visiting others or being visited. Infection itself has no apparent effects, but once all players are infected, the Plaguebearer transforms into the nigh-invulnerable Pestilence.
Additionally, the Arsonist can douse players at night. Doused players are killed when the Arsonist ignites his targets and have their investigation results permanently changed to Bodyguard/Godfather/Arsonist/Crusader. Thus, even if the Arsonist dies before igniting, doused players still cause plenty of confusion for investigators. Hex Masters can inflict a similar status effect called Hex, which kills automatically once all non-coven players are hexed.

In Baten Kaitos, you select the "spirit numbers" on each magnus card to make combos. These numbers typically appear in the corners of each card, and the numbers stay in the same place every time the magnuss card is used. However, the status effects Headache and Confusion change this. Headache causes the numbers to shift to the center of each edge, rather than at the corners, and the numbers are switched up. Confusion makes the numbers to actually spin around the card, which makes getting good combos much more difficult.

In the Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja series:
Forgetful gives you a random chance of dropping an item every turn. It's a mild inconvenience at best.
Sweaty unequips your equipment, and prevents you from equipping anything until it wears off. This can be problematic while you're being swarmed.
Straddling the line between beneficial and detrimental, Floating keeps you from picking up items or descending the stairs to the next floor, but also keeps you from triggering traps.
The game also treats your two available buffs as ailments, causing the Panacea to remove them along with detrimental effects. Awakened increases your accuracy and evasion, and Excited doubles the damage you deal.

Final Fantasy XIV has a number of status effects that do some unique things, along with the standard effects:
Pacification: Prevents the use of weapon skills. Basically a "silenced" effect for physical fighters.
Hysteria: You can't control yourself as your character moves around in random directions.
Devoured: Player is eaten and takes damage over time. Instant KO will occur if the player isn't saved in time.
Vulnerability Up: Damage taken is increased.
Disease: Healing is less effective and movement speed is reduced.

In World of Warcraft, the Warlock class is a master of Curses:
Curse of Agony, which deals increasing damage as time passes.
Curse of the Elements, which both reduces the target's magic resistances and increases the damage they take from magic attacks.
Curse of Tongues, which slows casting speed.
Curse of Weakness, which reduces the target's armor and physical attack power.
Curse of Exhaustion, which lowers the target's movement speed.
Curse of Doom, which deal a large amount of damage after a certain amount of time passes.

Individual characters can become cursed in Golden Sun, but by two totally different ways. The first way is for a spirit to become bonded with some character, which normally doesn't do much except cause Scratch Damage every odd turn. The second way is to equip something that is cursed (the game will always tell you what equipment is cursed, and the equipment usually has foreboding names, like Devil's Plate and whatnot). Cursed equipment normally has resoundingly high bonuses, but in exchange you cannot remove the equipment, and your character will occasionally be unable to move during battle. Both curses cannot be removed by any item or spell, and you must visit a healer to fix yourself.
There is, however, an item called "Cleric's Ring" that one can equip to nullify a curse's effect. Using a cursed weapon while wearing said item can make for a very powerful character, but the weapon cannot be unequipped without visiting a healer.

Disgaea 5 introduces Charm as one of its two new status ailments. Charmed units will attack their allies, though as a tradeoff the ailment tends to only last a short while. Seraphina, a Succubus, has her Overload skill being a mass-charm effect, but it only affects male targets. Said Overload does upgrade during the story, allowing the player to outright control the affected targets, though again, females are unaffected. Of course, the Kunoichi and Succubi can inflict this as well, theirs being able to even charm female opponents.

Also in some Nippon Ichi games is an effect they call "Critical" (or Deathblow), but is unlike the Critical above (though some units do have low HP effects). This Critical is an effect on Geo Panels in Disgaea and a room in Soul Nomad & the World Eaters. If you're standing on a Critical Geo Panel, any attack that hits (doesn't miss) kills you. Phantom Brave had a proto-critical effect in the "Gamble" status condition, which made the odds 50/50 of missing or killing the Gambled character.

In Child of Light, both player characters and enemies will go into a "tired" position when their health gets low. This is the only indicator that an enemy is about to go down, as their health is hidden. Certain Occuli equips allow characters to deal more or receive less damage when in critical condition.

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days features several status ailments that are a bit out there, like Shoe-Glue (prevents your character from jumping), Air Toss (You character gets tossed into the air without being able to recover or attack and takes twice the damage), Null-Defense (Enemies deal damage regardless of your character's defense) and Jolt (your character loses 10% of their HP when coming into contact with allies, enemies, and even walls and environment objects) to name a few.

Kid Icarus gives a rare platformer example in the Eggplant Wizards. If Pit gets hit with one of the eggplants they toss, the upper half of his body gets transformed into an eggplant, rendering him unable to use any weapons or items. Oh, and he has to backtrack to the nearest available hospital in order to remove the curse, which may mean dodging MANY monsters if you intend to get there alive.
The Eggplant status is back in Uprising, although now it simply wears off after time, and it can be caused by players themselves when using certain powers and items. There's also a newly introduced transformation; being turned into Tempura. It's very similar, but you lose stamina more quickly. And if you're caught by a Tempura Wizard in that state, it will eat you for a One-Hit Kill!

Metal Slug series has two, Mummification and zombification:
In 2/X, 3 and 4, getting hit by the purple mummy breath, the purple smoke dropped by bats or the purple rolling bombs spat out by mummies will turn player character into a Mummy. In this state, the character's speed is lowered but their jump height is increased, and there's a lag time between throwing grenades. They're still vulnerable to any damage and getting hit by anything will kill them. It's curable by touching a red potion.
In 3 and 4, getting hit by Zombie Puke Attacks will turn the character into a zombie instead of killing them. When zombified, the character slows to a crawl, gets a much lower jump height and will die if hit by zombie vomit again. However, it also makes them immune to most other forms of damage, and makes their grenade into a massive stream of bloody puke that does crazy amounts of damage to enemies in front. It's cured by touching a medkit, which scientist zombies conveniently drop.

Persona 3 has the Condition mechanic. Party members you take to explore Tartarus will be in worse condition the next day, affecting their performance in battle if you continue to use them in that state. Cycling party members is important to your gameplay, as not using them will allow them to recover. The protagonist will be affected most, as you Can't Drop the Hero, and being Tired or Sick will limit the stat boosts they gain and the actions they can take in day to day life.

Persona 5 has Hunger. Characters afflicted will be too hungry to concentrate, and thus have a severely lowered attack power. They'll also take more damage from Psychic attacks. All skills that inflict Hunger can only be used by enemies, including the fifth boss, who also has an attack that cures Hunger and restores HP to anyone suffering from it.

In Lost Dimension, characters who hit 0 Sanity in battle will go berserk. Berserk characters stop providing passive support to their allies, suffer a 50% drop in defense, gain a damage buff, and start attacking enemies automatically. However, they will continue to use their psychic skills, often with gay abandon. Considering said skills have a Sanity cost that contributed to this state in the first place, but skills used like this ignore the cost and carry no penalty for being used, intentionally berserking your characters is a crucial tactic.

Multiple characters in Heroes of the Storm have talents that can add healing reduction to their existing abilities (Varian's Mortal Strike, Malfurion's Strangling Vines), or as a separate new ability (Malthael's Touch of Death, Garrosh's Brute Force). Extremely useful against large burst healing like Rehgar's Ancestral Healing.

Path of Exile has a category of debuffs classified as "curses". Curses have a variety of effects like increasing an enemy's damage vulnerability or slowing them down, but by default each enemy can have only one curse on them at a time. Curses are split into two categories: Hexes are applied in an AoE and become more powerful over time if cast manually, while Marks are limited to one singular target at any time but have a generally stronger effect and ignore hex immunity. Some peculiar builds even put curses on themselves to their benefit.

Dragon Age: Origins has the Curse of Mortality, which blocks all healing while also dealing a small amount of damage. The effect is only active for a limited time, but because of how important healing spells and health poultices are, it often dooms party members that it hits. Also, because enemies rarely use healing, learning it is not much use to the player.

"Stopspell" from Dragon Quest I does Exactly What It Says on the Tin, blocking your opponent from using his spells. It can be a lifesaver if you're facing a spellcasting enemy and want to stop him from using his nastier magic (particularly if he can also cast Stopspell) on you. It's known as "Fizzle" in the recent translations, and it affects a whole group of enemies to boot! Needless to say, it gets annoying when enemies start tossing it at your entire party.

Curses in Pathfinder work similarly to poisons and diseases, in that you get an initial save to resist them, and if you fail, you get various penalties and have to make periodic additional saves to avoid further problems. Unlike diseases or poisons, however, curses generally can't be recovered from natually, no matter how many subsequent saves you make— only magic can remove them.

Breath of Fire III: While not so much a curable status effect, having Rei transform into his Weretiger form will cause him to become much stronger but uncontrollable, having him only attack physically, and becoming increasingly likely to attack allies every turn he stays in that form. Luckily, you can easily fix this by using Influence, which is normally pretty useless. With it, however, you can use Influence to target a boss monster and have Rei only attack them for the whole fight.

Borderlands and its sequels have Fight For Your Life mode, triggered when your health hits 0. After a brief animation, you're knocked down and your vision starts to decrease, but you have several seconds to kill something or ask your co-op partner to revive you. If you succeed, you're back on your feet — otherwise, you go back to the last New-U Station. To prevent players from abusing it, the timer gets shorter if you get knocked down several times in succession, to the point where it ticks down almost instantly.

In Kingdom Hearts, the Phantom curses each member of the party in turn (with Sora for last). When the hands of Big Ben make one full rotation, the cursed party member will die, and cannot be resurrected for the rest of the fight (signified by a series of flames at the number positions that disappear as the hands move). Casting Stop on the clock's hands pauses this timer temporarily.

Phantasy Star Online's Megid. It casts a dark ball that (sometimes) instantly kills an enemy. A Useless Useful Spell when used by a player... but when used by an enemy you can expect it to work 99% of the time. Specifically, Ob Lilies in Ultimate Caves just LOVE this spell. It does have an Achilles' Heel however, it's chance to work is modified by your EDK stat. Too bad most armors don't have much more than 20, and you 'could' sacrifice slots for EDK units, but you just lose too much.
It also subverts the Useless Useful Spell a little if a Force has it at level 30. (Which is a 100% chance to work... modified by Enemy EDK.) There are quite a few enemies that you could use it on with great effect, but most enemies have an extremely high EDK stat, making it useless agenst other enemies.
The special attack for weapons, 'Hell' does the same thing, but with one diffrence. A unit called V502 doubles the chance of it working. If you have a high ammount of accuracy and a V502 unit, you can use the Hell special on just about any non-boss enemy.

IDOLA: Phantasy Star Saga has Fatal Wound. Surprisingly, Contractual Boss Immunity works a bit differently in this game; boss enemies are not immune to Fatal Wound, they just don't get deleted instantly like normal enemies. They take double damage instead. Fatal Wound also subverts Useless Useful Spell since there are several reliable sources that can hit 50% base Fatal rate (Kibaki EX and Levi, for starters).

BravelyDefault has a particularly dangerous version of Charm that's unique to one of the bonus bosses, called Love. Rather than just changing sides, the Love status acts like extreme obsession. A character under the effect of Love will target one of your other characters as the one they are in love with. They will then mimic any action that the person they're in love with makes but otherwise are uncontrollable. If there are more than one person in love with the same person, then both of the affected will attack each other to the death with powerful attacks as love rivals. Lastly, if a party member dies, any member that was in love with them dies with them.

Both Devil Survivor and Devil Survivor 2 have Curse, an ailment inflicted by the Mystic-elemental spell Diajama and the higher-leveled Ghost Race demons' Racial Skill Possession respectively, which drops all HP and MP recovery to zero. However, rather than the horror that is Brand, Curse can be healed with Amrita, Prayer, or even the Megami Race demons' Racial Skill, significantly reducing the risk it poses.

In the Fallout series, the player character can become addicted to certain drugs and suffer withdrawal, with subsequently lowered stats. In the first couple games most addictions are temporary, but in 3 and New Vegas, all are permanent unless tended to by a doctor.
Fallout 4 has a disease inflicted by the Mole Rats in Vault 81 that decreases your maximum HP by 10; the only way to cure yourself is to use the medicine intended for Austin, causing you to fail the "Hole in the Wall" quest.

Some characters in Sly Cooper (usually Bentley) have access to "reduction bombs", "shrink ammo", a "size destabilizer", etc., which shrinks affected guards to half their size, halving the damage they deal and doubling the damage they take, until it wears off.

Final Fantasy IX has several, including Heat (a particularly brief ailment that kills the afflicted character if they take any action whatsoever), and Trouble (which, if the afflicted character is attacked, hurts the rest of the party for roughly half the damage taken).

Final Fantasy VI has a variant of Charm status exclusive to the Rafflesia enemy that doesn't wear off when hit. And then allows you to gain access to that spell via Gau's Rage ability.

In certain Zelda games, being touched by a Bubble disables your sword, either temporarily, or permanently until you use a potion, touch a Blue Bubble or visit a fairy. In Skyward Sword, cursed enemies disable all items for a period of time.

Xenoblade Chronicles X has the Control status, arguably the most crippling in the game; It lasts longer than most other ailments at a full minute, Controlled enemies will attack any other hostiles or simply sit quietly and let the party pummel them if there aren't any, and controlled enemies are vulnerable to the game's only One-Hit Kill skill, Servant Sacrifice.

Persona:
Persona 3 has the Condition mechanic. Party members you take to explore Tartarus will be in worse condition the next day, affecting their performance in battle if you continue to use them in that state. Cycling party members is important to your gameplay, as not using them will allow them to recover. The protagonist will be affected most, as you Can't Drop the Hero, and being Tired or Sick will limit the stat boosts they gain and the actions they can take in day to day life.
Persona 4 has Exhaustion and Enervation. The former will lower defense and cause the afflicted to lose SP every turn. The latter will halve all stats, cause characters to forget what they're doing mid-Persona summon, and in some cases, reduce HP to one.
Persona 5 has Hunger. Characters afflicted will be too hungry to concentrate, and thus have a severely lowered attack power. They'll also take more damage from Psychic attacks. All skills that inflict Hunger can only be used by enemies, including the fifth boss, who also has an attack that cures Hunger and restores HP to anyone suffering from it.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games feature many unique status effects specific to seed and orb items only found in those games. A couple of examples:
The X-Eye Seed afflicts a Pokémon with "X-Eye". For the player this makes every other Pokémon on the floor look like a Substitute doll (making allies and enemies indistinguishable and, like Confusion, allowing Friendly Fire), makes all items and exposed special tiles on the ground look like flowers, and makes all dots on the map green (usually allies are white, enemies are red, and items are blue)—it's essentially the closest you'll come to tripping acid in Pokémon. For allies and enemies the first effect is the only really relevant one; it makes everyone else look like a wild Pokémon, so afflicted allies will attack you and afflicted enemies will leave you alone.
The Stairs Orb afflicts the target with "Stairs", which warps it to the stairs on that floor of the dungeon (which is more useful when you're using an X-Ray Specs or Radar Orb and can see where your target gets warped to on the map) and keeps it petrified until it is attacked.

Taken to new extremes with the advent of the 5th generation of games, where Sturdy, which used to only provide an immunity to the already-banned OHKO moves, now acts as a built-in Focus Sash that never goes away. Combine this with the normally Useless Useful Item Shell Bell, which restores approximately 1 HP for every 8 damage you do, and you have an invincible plank in Aron. Level 1 Aron + Endeavor (matches foe's HP to own) + Sturdy + Shell Bell + Sandstorm leads to: opponent attacks Aron, Sturdy leaves Aron at 1 HP, Aron uses Endeavor, lowering the opponent's HP to 1, Shell Bell fully restores, Aron's HP, enemy dies from Sandstorm (to which Aron is immune). Rinse and repeat.

Xenoblade has a whole slew of different status ailments, with the caveat that the duration is measured in seconds, though combat is fast-paced enough that those few seconds spent helpless can hurt. It also has examples of some statuses requiring prerequisite status effects — for instance, the "Break" status does bupkis but make the target vulnerable to attacks that cause 'Topple' (target is knocked on their backside, can't move or act and loses special shielding) and a target must be toppled before Daze can be applied (same as topple, but extends the duration and prevents the victim from accumulating aggro, allowing squishier party members to pour on the hurt.)

In Dungeon of the Endless, The Neurostun Module and Golgy's Webslinger ability are able to slow down the movement (but not attacking speed) of enemies in the room. This can stack, causing mobs to slow to a crawl. Any hero in a room with monsters is slightly slowed down too, but if one of the monsters is a Chimera Hydra, it causes an even greater slowing effect.

Paper Mario is a good example of how this can be a beneficial effect, as many badges provided great benefits to Mario when he was at 5 or less (or even only 1) HP. Being probably the most ubiquitous example, Mega Rush increased your attack power by FOUR TIMES if you had a single hit point remaining. This, coupled with an infinitely-comboable Powerbounce attack (and good timing) led to monumental amounts of damage being dealt. This could take out just about every boss that didn't start out invulnerable until a certain event happened (which happened far too often for this to be TOO abusable) before it even had the chance to attack, making it a staple tactic of speedrunners.
Thus spawning the Danger Mario technique. Basically, there's an NPC in the game that can lower one stat (either HP, Flower Points, or Badge Points and boost another. Mario has a base 10 HP, and using the NPC will make it 5, putting him in Danger status. Stacking lots of Power Rushes (the aforementioned badge that increases Attack) creates an incredibly dangerous attacker, especially when using Powerbounce.

In Fire Emblem Heroes, there's a variant called Deep Wounds, a status ailment that prevents a unit from healing. It also prevents the ally from getting healed by means of using healing assist skills such as Physic or Restore (though the latter cures Deep Wounds), Ardent Sacrifice and prevents life-draining Special Triggers like Noontime and Aether from healing itself where it functions like damage boosting special triggers.

In Command & Conquer, any frozen unit/building can be shattered and killed by even the most pitiful attack. In one hit.
This is probably more realistic than it seems for sufficiently-frozen things (and it would have to be cold to freeze something that quickly), since the bonding breaks down at low temperatures. If you ever get the chance, dip a piece of something soft like an orange or a rubber hose in a tub of liquid nitrogen and throw it at the wall.

Ratchet & Clank has toyed with status-effect like abilities on their weapons (most notably in Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando and Ratchet: Deadlocked), most of which are recognizable, but a few are more unique:
Acid: Your basic Damage Over Time.
Shock: Chain Lightning made into a status effect. Earlier games in particular made it obviously a status effect, changing enemy's coloration and causing lightning bolts to occasionally arc off them towards nearby allies, over a long period of time. Later games decreased the duration and increased the rate of bolt-throwing to such a degree that it often just looks like a part of the weapon's basic functioning.
Morph: A "Weird Transformation" effect. Usually (but not always) permanent, once inflicted. Even when not permanent, it prevents the afflicted from acting, and reduces their Hp considerably, allowing them to be taken out much more easily.
Infection/Mind Control: A renamed "charm".
Time Bomb: Theoretically a "Doom!" status effect, but in practice just extra damage.
Dancing: Caused exclusively by "The Groovitron". In practice it's basically a sleep effect with some catchy music and a (hilarious) animation attached.

Everquest had blindness affect a player far more than a monster by making it impossible for the player to see by turning the visual field black (and if you were using the interface that had menus overlap the visual field, you couldn't see the menus either). Interestingly, though, you could still do anything as normal, such as cast spells, select targets, etc.; you just had to be able to do it without seeing (i.e. memorize the location of the mouse and try to navigate through menus without actually seeing them, or use macros).

In Planescape: Torment, one of Morte's main powers was Litany of Curses, which caused him to spout a random insult at the targeted foe. If they failed the saving throw to resist, they were rendered unable to do anything for a short time except to attempt melee attacks against Morte. Unlike many versions of Berserk, this was a pure debuff — the target not only took a penalty to their armor class for the duration, but also had a penalty to attack and damage. As Morte had an already good armor class, high hit points, and very good resistance to most forms of damage, this made it a very effective ability, especially if it was fully upgraded (each upgrade was gained by certain events that caused Morte to learn new insults, measured in-game by giving the target a larger penalty on the saving throw). The ability only worked on enemies that were smart enough to understand what he was saying, though.

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth: The final boss starts off the fight by slapping timers onto your party members that click down as they take turns... or he decides to lop one off on the spot. When the timer hits zero, they drop dead. It can be staved off with items like Revival Bead and Recarm, but it's only postponing the inevitable. Fitting for the theme of the game, really.

An odd case in Pokémon. The move Curse works differently depending on the type of the Pokémon using it. Ghost type Pokémon remove 50% of their own HP to inflict a poison-like status on the enemy that cuts 1/4 of their HP every turn, and this can stack with other status ailments. Any other type will lower their speed to raise defense and attack. (The reason for this is due to a Lost in Translation pun in the original Japanese. The Japanese name for this attack is Noroi, which can mean either "curse" or "slow" due to Alternate Character Reading.)

Darkest Dungeon's Death's Door status is a cross between this and a Last Chance Hit Point. Character hits this after their health hits 0 or they suffer a heart attack (caused by extremely high stress level). This comes with a massive penalty to most stats, and means any subsequent damage they take has a chance of causing Final Death. Healing by any amount removes this status, but part of the stat penalty will persist for the rest of dungeon, unless cured by certain camping skills.

Might and Magic VI-VIII has quite a few statuses that change around stats and toy with HP/MP recovery, plus have some other effects that don't really fit anywhere else:
Insanity is essentially a combo of Berserk/Silenced, as it causes Personality and Intellect to take a dive plus Resting Recovery does not recover any MP (in fact, even if the person has MP before resting, they will wake up with 0 MP), but it makes Strength skyrocket. Bad if it happens to your mage or healer, but insanity is benefical to Knights that have zero magical skills to begin with.
Curse also decreases magically related stats but on top it causes any spell to fail 50% of time.
Weak decreases physical stats and most importantly any physical damage your character does is reduced to half. You will most likely see this when you cross map borders without enough food rations.
Poison in this game is not actually a Damage-over-Time effect, but it reduces your stats as well, decreases HP/MP restored by Resting Recovery, and worsens over time if not treated (read: bigger stat penalties). Disease works in a similar fashion.
Drunk is a rare status caused by drinking from specific wells, and it also decreases most of stats since, well, you don't expect drunk to have the best coordination in the country, but the Luck gets doubled for some reason.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 plays this for drama with a character who survives an assassination attempt to turning her into an undead monster. The former paladin wanders the land, unsure why people flee from her and why healing potions hurt her, until she manages to recover with the assistance of the party. This is somewhat noteworthy as the status effect doesn't otherwise exist in the Ivalice Alliance games.

Plants vs. Zombies 3 has a similar "bound" status to the octopus from Plants Vs Zombies 2, except it's a pizza thrown onto the plant by the Pizza Delivery Zombie. Like the octopus, the pizza needs to be attacked to free the plant.

The Sneezing Zombie from Plants vs. Zombies: Heroes prevents the Plant Hero and Plant teammates from healing any HP whatsoever as long as she is on the field. A very useful ability against the Solar plant class which has several healing abilities, including the very deadly Heartichokenote whenever a Plant or Plant Hero is healed, it hits the Zombie Hero for the same amount heal loop with the Venus Flytraplanet environmentnote When a plant on this deals damage, heal the Plant Hero by that amount, as well as the Astro Veranote heals the Plant Hero by 10 and extends their maximum HP by 10.

Lost Odyssey's Petrification status is a weird version of this: when hit by it, the target, friend or foe, shows Signs of Petrification. In three turns, a party member will turn to stone: annoying but curable with an item. Enemies, on the other hand, will simply drop dead on the spot.

Some of the classic SonicTheHedgehog games have this as a mechanic. In Sonic the Hedgehog CD and SonicMania, there are Shrink Rays that let you get through small spaces but otherwise not changing your stats. In KnucklesChaotix on the other hand, getting shrunken (In this case by smashing shrink monitors) makes you slower and decreases your jump abilities, but making you lighter, allowing you to fly or glide longer. The shrink effect is temporary in Chaotix, but in CD and Mania you have to find a grow ray to bring you back to normal size.

Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled: It's not displayed in battle, but two of your characters spend a good portion of the game Cursed.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind has the Blind spell effect. When cast on the player character, it darkens the screen by a percentage equal to the spell's power. At max power, the spell blackens the screen entirely. Unfortunately, it is something of a Useless Useful Spell against NPCs, who are much less handicapped by the effects (even at 100%). One Lethal Joke Item is called "Boots of Blinding Speed", which increases your speed by 200 (the normal max is 100) but makes it impossible to see where you're going. If you cast a magic resistance spell before equipping the boots, you can negate the blind effect while keeping the full speed boost.

In Secret of Mana, the Lunar element spell, Change Form turned enemies into weaker monsters of the same type, permanently. The utterly whimsical, Lunar Magic, however, afflicted enemies with the "Wimp Out" effect which would greatly weaken them in a similar manner, but only for a limited time.

Perfect World actually features an enemy that tries to kill players with Phlebotinum Overload: Tyrant Prince Mushi, final boss of an instanced dungeon called Flowsilver Palace that's very popular among endgamers, will periodically release an area-of-effect spell that instantly fills the Chi meter of all surrounding players to its maximum capacity. This spell acts as a One-Hit Kill on any player whose Chi meter is already full when it happens. Players with the right Chi-costly debuffing attacks, especially Blademasters (who have the greatest variety of such skills to choose from), find Mushi a joy to fight for this reason.

Final Fantasy V had the Berserker job. Simply being that job makes a character constantly berserk, and one of the abilities you can learn from that class allows you to carry that trait over to other jobs. Interestingly, they still have MP, allowing them to wield runic weapons at full power (they drain the user's MP). Conveniently, only berserkers can wield axes, and one of the very few runic weapons is one.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne has the Magatama-imparted curses — they weaken you, make you randomly attack allies, and is generally a horrible nuisance. However, being affected by a curse changes the rules in Demon Fusion, making it more likely to inherit better skills and stats — as long as the result of the Fusion is a demon of the darker races, such as Fiends, Fouls, or Fallens.
Digital Devil Saga uses another form of Curse, which inflicts upon you the same amount of Physical damage you deal to enemies. It also makes anyone afflicted more susceptible to the Mudo line of spells, which inflict instant death.

AdventureQuest Worlds has the Mage's Ice Shard attack, which inflicts Frozen Blood, which reduces the damage a monster inflicts on you. In addition, if a Fireball is cast upon a monster who has Frozen Blood on them, the attack does double damage.

In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, golden star-shaped flashes of light inflict this status effect on Link should he come into contact with said entities. When affected, Link temporarily assumes a bunny form, stripped of his normal abilities.
In that game, anyone who enters the Dark World changes into a form based on their inner self. Link has to acquire a certain item to retain his normal form while in the Dark World, but those golden traps somehow nullify the item's effect for a while.

"Excited" in the Fossil Fighters series causes you to be unable to switch your viviosaurs around. In the first game, it locks your attack position viviosaur into place, so they can't be swapped for a supporter.

Most Suikoden games treat Berserk as a buff more than a Standard Status Effect: Berserked characters have amped-up attack and the rune that gives them the amped attack takes up a slot and... that's it. They can still be controlled normally and suffer no other hindrances. As a result, most players actively seek out the effect for as many characters that can spare the slot. Suikoden V reduced its usefulness by making characters in this state uncontrollable.

In Icewind Dale, one of the first mini-bosses is an evil cleric who has things to say when she dies. If she is Silenced at the time, the game is locked in a during-event state and it is impossible to save the game at all.

Final Fantasy Tactics had an Oil status which supposed to increase damage from fire-element attacks, but was bugged and in fact did nothing. This was fixed in the PSP version, and was also used later in Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy Tactics A2.

In Dota 2, this is the Ancient Apparition's signature ability: his ultimate spell, Ice Blast, completely prevents any affected foes from increasing their current HP in any way, making him a must-pick against heroes who can regenerate large amounts of health such as Huskar or the Alchemist.

Elona has several:
"Anorexia" makes you unable to eat anything - any attempt will result in copious vomiting and stat loss. Caused by abusing the game's hunger system.
"Gravity" negates the ability to fly, making the player suspectible to ground-based hazards. Inflicted by the Mine Dog, a monster which also lays landmines on the ground.
"Insanity" will inflict random status effects. Inflicted by Things Man Was Not Meant to Know, or by eating human flesh.
"Pregnant" makes a hostile alien burst out of your chest after some time. Caused by Xenomorph Xerox encounters, or by drinking dirty water.

Blades in FlyFF have the Berserk self-buff, which increases their damage by a small amount, and more importantly their attack speed, but prevents them from using skills while active. This isn't generally a problem; since blades' skills run off a different stat than their standard attacksnote Melee damage is based on STR, but blades' skill damage is based on DEX, a 1v1 blade won't be using skills anyways, and the rare skill blade won't need the attack speed from Berserknote as attack speed is also based on DEX.

The Lufia series has the staple Perish and Destroy instant-death spells. In Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals, Destroy had a 50% chance of instant-death (against a single target), which made it a worthwhile tactic in the Ancient Cave.
The Ancient Cave also contained weapons with an 80% instant-death chance, albeit with attack power so low they'd typically do no damage if the target didn't die instantly. They're all cursed, which means they can't be unequipped without use of a rare item (and doing so removes the curse and instant-death property).

Sonny has some ridiculous status effects, which are too many to list. Being knifed in the face is one such example. Really, some get ridiculously odd, it is odd-ish that zombies, insurgents, renegade combat medics, and blade dancing female zombies have to obey the orders of the Mayor of Hew to sit down, and why the heck (even with magic) several things that should have little or no relevance to combat make appearances.

League of Legends has Grievous Wounds, which reduces healing and regeneration by 50%. Though originally designed to counter the enemy's White Mage champions, Grievous Wounds better serves to counter aggressive champions that rely on copious Life Drain. (Following a long series of healing nerfs to make wearing a champion down instead of having to kill them outright a viable bottom lane strategy, Soraka is the only champion whose primary contribution is healing, and even her normal heal comes with a massive temporary armor boost to the target.) It's available through a couple items, the summoner ability Ignite inflicts it, and Tristana, Varus, and Fizz have abilities that apply it.

Parasite Eve has the Confusion status work differently between enemies and the player. Confused enemies spin in place and can't act until it wears off. If the player is hit with Confusion, their movement controls are randomly remapped, making moving difficult to do.

Called Enthralled in The Last Remnant (and the visual effect is the union being controlled by the enemy with marionette strings), the victim of this effect will attack your other unions and always kill them, since they do the same damage that you do controlling them. The only saving grace is that you can also kill them quite easily, and revive them in the same turn.

In online item battles, there's an offensive item called "headphone", although this item doesn't screw the visual interface, it has a purpose to distract / screw players audibly from performing the gameplay perfectly as it temporarily replaces the certain song in gameplay with the fake song came from the headphone.
in the same modes, there's a "fog" item, which is to remove the timing windows on-screen and blocks players from seeing the certain obstacle notes clearly, making it difficult to perform it in full-combo.

In Dungeon Crawl, fear used to be much more common as many creatures would become terrified and flee at low health. This was eventually phased out, as most players found it annoying to have to chase down things they wanted to kill. You can still force things to flee from you by reading a Scroll of Fear or casting Cause Fear, but some enemies (mainly bears) might go berserk instead of fleeing.

Dragon Quest uses Curse to cause a Stun effect. In Dragon Quest VIII, one bit of foreshadowing is that Curse doesn't work on the main character — while its failure on most characters is "(Character) dodged out of the way", for the main character it's always "But the curse dissipates before it reaches (Hero)!"

Spiral Knights has a rare but powerful curse effect: A cursed player has certain weapons and items marked by the curse, and attempting to use them causes damage. At endgame, this can easily be the entire inventory of the player. At the status lasts 30 seconds (compared to the 7 seconds of everything else). For the enemies, it just damages them every time they do something. The only non-vial method of inflicting the status is the (Gran) Faust. Both yours and that Phantom's.

Lisa the Painfull has several:
The most important one being withdrawal. Many character, including protagonist Brad, are addicted to a drug called "Joy". Like in real life, not taking the drug regularly will cause the character to go into withdrawal, chopping all their stats dramatically. Some of them, like Brad and Carp, will still manage to deal damage in fights but others, like Queen Roger, will be rendered completely useless. Consuming Joy will grant the character the Joyed status that greatly buff all their stats. The downside is that it increases the addiction and will cause them to experience withdrawal more often.
Some character have status ailments unique to them like Fardy's Depression (lowers Attack, Defense and accuracy), Beastborn's Critter Gone and Yazan's Cat gone (Prevent the use of Critter and Cat skills).

Arknights: This is the main purpose of slow-type Supporter operators, who briefly slow an enemy's movement with every hit, delaying their advance. Some operators outside the Supporter class are also able to slow enemies with their skills.

In the Mega Man Battle Network series, confusion either randomizes or reverses the player's movements, depending on the game. Against the AI, it causes them to move more slowly and makes their attacks not function properly, if at all (bombs become duds and boomerangs will fly off the screen instead of looping back, to name a few examples).

Shows up many times in The Dark Spire once you get to higher spell tiers. Like its other status effects, instant death has an incredibly high chance of working against enemies that don't have magic resistance, and still works pretty well on enemies that do. Logic still applies to them (you can't suffocate a skeleton to death, for example), but they constantly remain useful. One such spell even instantly kills everything under level 8, no questions asked, which is easily the strongest spell until floor 6. They're high level for a reason.

In Final Fantasy VIII & X, a Cursed character is unable to perform Limit Breaks or Overdrives. It didn't help in Final Fantasy X that the aeons were immune to all status effects BUT curse. Of course, those select bosses have status effect causing attack with a myriad of effects. If one's really unlucky, one of the characters will be Cursed. If an aeon gets hit by said attack, they always get cursed.

In Final Fantasy XIII, Curse made you less likely to interrupt enemy actions and more prone to getting your own actions interrupted by the enemy. Its beneficial counterpart, Vigilance, did the exact opposite (they cancel each other out when cast on the same target).

EarthBound gave Ness a personal status effect in the form of "homesickness"; if he hadn't contacted his mother in a while, he risked a chance of failing to act in combat thanks to being homesick. Calling home was the usual cure, but hatching a baby chick could provide a brief bit of relief from it if no phones were nearby.
Also in Earthbound is Heat Stroke. If your characters spent too long out in a hot place (either in the Dusty Dunes Desert or Scaraba), they can pick up the affliction, which works like a slow, weak poison.
In the NES prequel, the main character Ninten also has a rather unique personal status effect: he is asthmatic, and a few enemies can trigger an asthma attack by spewing smoke at him. It can only be healed by buying and using an inhaler. This has a similar effect to Ness's homesickness, but it stops Ninten from acting much more often. Thankfully, only a few foes around the middle of the game can do this.
In Mother 3, rather than developing new PSI powers as soon as they level up, Lucas and Kumatora spend a short time after battle "feeling feverish" before the power manifests. While one of them is feverish, the party cannot run outside of battle.

In Baldur's Gate, two of the most powerful spells were Stone to Flesh and Flesh to Stone. One specific NPC in the game is trapped in a petrified state. If you use a Stone to Flesh spell on the "Statue", she will be extremely grateful and wish to join your party.

Phantasy Star Nova has Infection, which slows your movement speed to a snail's pace and disables all of your actions besides dodging, and even then you can't dodge very far. There's also Bind, which stops you from moving but otherwise doesn't prevent you from acting.

Earthbound has Diamondization, which has a unique overworld sprite, and if all your characters are afflicted, you die. And it can't be cured via PSI Healing, only with Secret Herbs and the very rare Cup of Lifenoodles or Horn of Life.

Blade & Soul does a unique take on the Frozen concept; in fact, there are two of them. The first is your traditional "Frozen=cannot perform any action" variation. While you can inflict Frozen on your enemies, they are also immune to damage while in a frozen state. The more useful form of this is to inflict yourself with Frozen status, as they not only make you immune to damage for several seconds, some builds even allow you to heal proportional to damage inflicted while being Frozen. The second variant simply immobilizes your target so that they cannot approach you. Since most PvE opponents are melee-type creatures, this is an excellent way to defeat them without much effort. Of course, ranged characters are mostly unaffected and in PvP, other players have moves that break out of Frozen status (of any kind).

In Kingdom of Loathing, "Temporarily Blind" is an effect that can happen from using certain potions, drinking really bad moonshine, or wearing items that cover your eyes. This doesn't affect your accuracy, but you won't be able to see what enemies you're fighting, all attack and familiar effect descriptions are replaced with generic "the X does something" messages, and you're not told what items you receive after each fight.

In the Kingdom Hearts series, it has the typical effect of stopping the victim's movements, but all hits and damage the target takes will only register once the Stop effect wears off, which can potentially result in them being immobilized for quite some time even after it wears off.

Terraria: In Expert Mode, bats have a chance of inflicting Feral Bite if they hit the player. Not only does this reduce health regeneration (but increase damage output), it also causes the player to get other status effects at random!

City of Heroes has a few odd ones:
Debuffs that reduce the speed at which the target regains health or stamina.
Debuffs that actually reduces the total health or stamina that the target can have.
Debuffs that make it so that the target cannot actually be healed at all.

Lord Salforis in Heroes of Newerth is built around decovery effects. One of his skills deals a lot of damage up front, but makes them regenerate a portion of the damage taken over time but cut down the effectiveness of heals by half. Another skill lets him steal half an enemy's natural health regen for himself, which means his first skill effectively deals more damage while giving Lord Salforis bonus health regen. Finally, his ultimate curses an enemy to take damage over time and completely cut off any heals or health regen from it, ensuring certain death, provided their health was low enough.

In Star Trek: Armada, the Borg have the nanites ability. When cast on one of your ships, your control panels and minimap run around the screen. Not only does this obscure half of the battle, but hotkeys are disabled too, you have to find and click on your moving command bar to issue orders. Just hope it isn't hiding behind something else!

Characters can be frozen in Super Smash Bros.. Most of the time it's the result of the Freezie item, though the Ice Climbers can induce it for a split second and it's a possible effect of Game and Watch's Side B. They're encased in a large chunk of ice that can't be knocked back very far, but still allows the character to take damage. Mashing is required to break out, and the more damage a character has, the longer they stay in. Fire-based moves break the ice instantly, however.
