System Description​
Most children in the universe know the exciting tale of the Leprous Bandit, the infamous human thief whose people were starving to death because of a planet-wide quarantine. While all the planet's residents were carriers of the disease, it did not affect them. But because the disease was deadly to the Forsoothed, the planet's regents, the aliens placed themselves in floating protection platforms, guarding the gardens and food stores in hopes to starve the humans all out.
The bandit climbed a mountain, jumped onto a platform, and broke into the floating garden. He was quickly killed, of course, but not before he infected the Forsoothed and caused them to flee the planet. Thanks to the bandit's intervention, the human planet survived another 100 years before it was obliterated in an unrelated conflict. To this day, the Leprous Bandit remains an inspiration.
This toe ring imbues the following:
The Sticky Feet Benefit.
The Super Spreader Benefit.
Sticky Feet (Active Benefit)​
Once every six hours, for (Dexterity x 2) seconds, you may walk upon a non-horizontal surface, such as a wall or ceiling. Gravity will not change, so leave your beer on the ground and make sure you tuck in your shirt first. Your bare feet must be in contact with the surface. No socks, no shoes.
Super Spreader (Passive Benefit)​
You have been given the power of every plague rat and kindergartner since the dawn of time. You may pass any active debuffs onto a target of your choice once per hour. This does not remove the debuff from yourself.
Stat Bonuses & Properties​
| Property | Effect |
|---|---|
| Sticky Feet (Active) | Walk on walls/ceilings for (Dexterity × 2) seconds; once every six hours; bare feet required |
| Super Spreader (Passive) | Pass any active debuff to a target of choice once per hour; debuff remains on Carl as well |
Tactical Notes​
Sticky Feet was used during the Mrs. Ghazi fight (Ch22) to hang Carl upside-down from the ceiling of Ghazi's basement workshop, allowing him to apply burn gel directly to the sand ooze's glowing core — a combat angle otherwise impossible to achieve.
