A toggle is a type of power that is either continuously active or not active in any way (like a light switch), compared to auto powers which are always active and "click" powers that activate immediately. While a toggle is on, the user receives some kind of persistant benefit (such as [[stealth]] or increased [[defense]]) as long as the toggle remains on. This benefit (with rare exceptions) comes at the cost of a slow yet nearly continuous drain to [[Endurance]], with other possible effects such as decreased movement speed. When toggles are deactivated (either deliberately by the player or by a method of shut off below) toggle powers recharge just like other powers.

  1. A type of power that is either continuously active or not active in any way (like a light switch), compared to auto powers which are always active, and click powers that activate upon selection and have a duration.
    1. While a toggle is on, the user receives some kind of persistent benefit as long as the toggle remains on. This benefit (with rare exceptions) comes at the cost of a slow yet nearly continuous drain to endurance, with other possible effects such as decreased movement speed.
    2. As of Issue 13, self- and ally-affecting toggles suppress instead of detoggle when under the affect of Status Effects. Enemy-affecting toggles still detoggle.
    3. With rare exceptions, when they are detoggled, most toggle powers have a recharge timer.
  2. An alias for the /window_toggle slash command.
