A toggle is a type of power that can be turned on and off (like a light switch), as opposed to auto powers which are always active.  When a toggle is on, the user usually receives some kind of persistant benefit (such as [[stealth]] or increased [[defense]]) as long as the toggle remains on.  This benefit usually comes at the cost of a slow drain to [[endurance]], with other possible costs such as decreased movement speed.

Toggle
  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.
