Here is a deeper look into some more of these:

• Poison: Poison is a quite simple effect, usually. One takes damage every turn or so. However, different strengths of poison exist; from Poison/Venom to Toxic to Leaper poison. Also, some poisons from more complex universes also cause things like vomiting and disorientation.
• Radiation: I didn't look into this as much because it is more complex. Radiation comes in quite different doses, and resistances vary greatly. A robot will be completely unaffected, as are mutants who are so mutated anyway they can't really be perverted anymore. Radiation can come from such enemies as Iraqi Desolators from C&C RA2, sources such as radiated water, Resistances: Being robotic, in environmental body armor, being extremely mutated... High endurance helps too. Cure: Rad-Away from Fallout 2 works well.
• Burn: This is similar to Poison, but cured differently.
• Petrify: This merely turns the character to stone. Soft potions are very easy to get, and numerous Relics protect against the condition, but if the entire party is turned to stone, Game Over. The Rifts spell Stone to Flesh also works.
• Piggy: Piggy is one type of status effect that tends to transform people into a weak attacker. Pigs can't do too much damage, so enemies (typically from FF4) will cast it.
• Toad: Toad transforms people into toads, who are also pathetic fighters. Resistances: Save vs. magic. Cure: Remedy or Princess Kiss.
• Moogle: Moogles are wimpy fighters as well, and cannot even use weapons. However, this is the Secret of Mana Moogle, so don't expect all Moogles to be wimpy; the FF6 Moogles, especially Mog, are slam-dancing smashing warriors.
• Mini/Pygmy: This makes the person amazingly small. I believe it still allows spells to be cast. The Tiny Atlas Job cannot have Mini cast on it and retains their regular strength. Resistances: Save vs. magic. Cure: I believe a Cornucopia cures it, as well as Remedy spells and items.
• Imp: This spell is another spell making fighters weaker. I'm not sure if it prevents the victim from casitng all magic or all magic but Imp, although I believe the former is correct.
• Slow: This slows down the time it takes for someone's turn to come around. Irritating, but not fatal.
• Stop: This time-based status condition merely prevents the character from taking any action. The Time Singularity power allows for the same kind of thing, but prevents damage done to that person, making it more like Stasis Field. They may still be damaged. A group of Stopped characters will NOT lose the fight.
• Freeze: This occurs in both Pokemon and FF6. Basically, the character is frozen solid and cannot move. I believe that a group of frozen characters will not lose the battle, as Freeze goes away on it's own. Freeze is typically a byproduct of ice attacks, which makes such attacks that much more deadly.
• Zombie: This is a debilitating status effect. The character is reduced to 0 HP and cannot die, but they will attack their friends. Furthermore, curing is only possible through a Revivify; not even conventional Life spells will work. However, if one has the Relic Ring equipped before they are Zombified, they become quite a help to the team.
• Confuse: This effect is not quite as devastating as it can seem. Basically, the character is so muddled that they will attack friends and enemies alike. Confuse is easily cured: a single attack (including Rand's Wake) will get them out of the situation. Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that Confused warriors inflict less damage to both friend and foe. Resistances: Appropriate Relics or
• Bserk: Bserk is one of the rare Status Effects that is somewhat good. Bserk characters constantly attack with physical attacks, albeit with great strength. However, this can be bad against certain enemies.
• Mute: This is a very simple spell possessed by both Rifts and FF style mages. Mute merely prevents one to use their vocal cords. They may still breathe or use a trumpet. However, shouting for help or (and this is what cripples other mages) typical spellcasting is impossible.
• Darkness/Blind: There are two levels of severity to this condition. One is merely a light eyepoke, a spell or bio-manipulation, or covering the enemy's eyes with ink or sludge or something. Eyedrops or magical/psionic countermeasures will suffice. However, a spell or attack that PERMANENTLY removes the character's eyes is far more serious, and requires powerful technological, magical or natural bio-regeneration style healing. Both conditions have the same effect, the difference is the level of difficulty required to cure it and the level of difficulty required to inflict it. Ribbons and other items and relics that protect against status conditions can prevent the first, but not the second. Motion detection and alternate sensory capacities will ease the problem for both.
• Sleep: This makes the afflicted character just fall down and go to sleep. If the entire party is sleeping, the battle is NOT lost. The sleep effect is very light and is undone by merely attacking the other person. It takes a person of tremendous skill to use this spell to capture a group of people.
• Entangle: This FF4 condition just traps the person temporarily. In FF6, we see similar attacks inflict Stop and Slow.
• Age: One's attributes constantly goes down. Age can be crippling in a long-term battle. Age can also be inflicted by Rifts Temporal Raiders and Magicians.
• Countdown: This spell gives a timer until a character drops dead.
• Lock: This Chrono Trigger status condition protects one from using Tech Attacks (magic/psi/techniques) or Items. In the end, all one can do are attacks.
• K.O.: This is NOT the same as Swoon. It is a temporary knockout from SOM and comes from a particularly jarring attack. The temporary K.O. prevents fighting, but a team of K.O.ed fighters will NOT lose the battle. Furthermore, K.O.ed fighters have a lower profile and are much less likely to get hit.

These are some more specific, debilitating status effects.

• Maelstrom: Inflicted by Dark Archons, this irritating move causes all organics to freeze in their tracks. It also uncloaks cloaked individuals for the time they are in the Maelstrom, and can be cast on cloaked individuals as long as the user knows the location. Resistance: Maelstrom resistance is typically a combination of level and psionic resistance. Dodging also works. Cure: Due to it's temporary nature, very little cures it.
• Stasis Field: This is used by Arbiters and is both a potent, helpful attack move and a defensive move. The duration and potential targets of the Stasis Field is the largest in the game, lasting 30+ seconds and working on all units. However, to make up for this, the Stasis Field targets are unable to attack, but also invulnerable to all forms of attack themselves. It can be used both as an offensive and a defensive time buyer. A party of people with Stasis Field on all of them do not lose the battle. Resistances: Almost none. Cure: Almost none.
• Parasite: This Zerg Queen move implants a Parasite into the target's body, giving the Queen and her brethren the exact location and activity of the enemy. Resistances: If one has the capacity to automatically kill the parasite or have armor sufficient to avoid ever getting hit, that will help.
• Xiticix Resin: This resin is somewhat simple to get off at first, but soon becomes extremely hard. It is best to get rid of it quickly. Diggers will typically use this attack. Resistances: None, really; it's just concrete stuff. Cure: Breaking it off, burning it.
• Light Target: This minor curse comes from Rifts and just makes the person glow. This makes them a target. Typical magical remedies will suffice to remove a target of it. Resistances: Standard save vs. magic. Cure: Normal, anti-curse measures will work.
• Chest Burster/Internal Monster: These are some sort of egg or similar beast that infests the target and grows, usually killing them when it's done. These are VERY difficult to get rid of, usually involving powerful or specific magic or extensive surgery. In addition, there is a problem with diagnosing the problem. Resistances: Having skin sufficient to protect against the invasion, or having an alien enough metabolism that the alien creature cannot grow. Cure: Surgery, powerful magic.
• Iron Maiden: This Diablo II curse makes the target take some amount of damage for every hit they inflict on the enemy! Resistances: Almost none. Cure: Anti-curse remedies will work.
• Circle: As far as I know, only Omega Weapon has this. For the duration of battle, one is completely wiped out of existence! Resistances: I dunno. Cure: I dunno.
• Tranquilized: Typically, Tranquilizer darts do not instill full sleep to superhumans, but cause grogginess and decreased attack effectiveness. Resistances: In the case of tranquilizer rifles, armor, poison resistances, and similar will protect. Cure: Tranquilizer antidotes.
• Amplify Damage: Another Necromancer spell, the damage a character takes is multiplied by 2. This can be quite deadly. Resistances: Standard saves vs. magic. Cure: Anti-curse mechanisms.
