Swallow
 Learned: Malice
 Cost: None
 Target: Single, All
 Type: Offensive
 Element: None
 Effect: The attacker swallows a single target but does no damage, instead preventing the target from taking any actions or being affected by any spell or attack. After two rounds the target is spit out, dealing heavy physical damage to all enemies including the target.
↵ Return to Abilities

Additional Information: The target does not lose any active buffs while swallowed, not even if the attacker uses an ability that would dispel one or more of those buffs while the target is swallowed. The attacker can not swallow more than a single target at a time.

The attack half of Swallow acts as the first of the attacker's turns. If the attacker uses an ability that involves charging, such as Dragon's Fury, after using Swallow then the target will remain swallowed until after the charging ability is complete. In some cases this will result in a target staying swallowed well past two rounds.

Since the first part of Swallow is considered a single-target attack, a player or companion with access to the Guard ability can take the 'hit' in place of the attacker's intended target if so desired.
