Small red symbol besides affliction

[Guest Blutwurstritter]

Can someone explain what the small red symbols mean ?

I think i know what afflictions are but i have no clue what the gui is trying to tell me here with the red symbols right besides of the affliction name. Especially the firts red symbol that looks like a red X.

I think they represent the corresponding negative effect that will cancel the positive effect, in this case a perception / will effect will cancel it.

It means that they'll be countered by status effects which affect that attribute. You have a Perception bonus and an Intellect bonus; if something gives you a Perception or Intellect debuff then the bonus will be removed. If you have an ice spell it'll be countered by fire, etc

Those are actually Inspirations. The symbols are meant to communicate which Afflictions can cancel those Inspirations out.

So the red X has no special meaning ? I always thought it was strange that there was this additional red X in addition to the red eye/head per line. Thank you all  for your input.

The red X and arrow pointing mean that the thing on the right will cancel out the thing on the left
