Ok im no whiz in the grammer department but I think somethings up here.

It can be properly worded,
"...if it hits and causes target foe..."
or,
"...if it hits, causing target foe..."
Also, it's grammar. Grammer is a company that makes seats for vehicles.
"...if it hits and causes target foe..."
or,
"...if it hits, causing target foe..."

To get super technical it should be: "if it hits, and causes..." or "if it hits, causing..."

I believe it is worded right since in English there can't be a comma in front of "and" as far as I know, but it would also work if they made it "if it hits, causing..."

In English there can't be a comma in front of and?! You mean after "and" methinks.

or what about "if it hits, it will also cause..."?

Wasn't it originally, or it should be: ?
Target foe is struck for X cold damage and moves 66% slower for X seconds.

Ok, yes there can be, but in this case it's not really necessary and to me it makes perfect sense.
or maybe I should put...........................not really necessary, and to me it makes perfect sense.(?)

Oh and Josh.....in your example, the comma is after "and" which is not what I meant.
Sorry for any misunderstanding guys, I really didn't mean to upset anyone, just trying to post my opinion.

Hate to disappoint you, but if you speak English (as opposed to Microsoft Speak) then a comma MUST BE USED IN LISTING. Not using a comma implies grouping. For example:
1) I received a letter, a parcel, and a bill.
-> I received a letter, I received a pacel, I received a bill.
2) I received a letter, and a parcel and bill.
-> I received a letter, I received a parcel and bill
This construction (grouping) means that the bill was received with the pacel and is associated with it. Most would take it to mean that the bill payable was for the pacel.
In the context of this skill it is a listing, not a grouping: it causes x effect, and x effect.
Colloquially the comma MAY be left out in listings of two, but grammatically it should be included.
In case of doubt there is a little trick to using commas. Read the sentence out loud. If you make a pause, place a comma.
1) I received a letter, a parcel, and a bill.
-> I received a letter, I received a pacel, I received a bill.
2) I received a letter, and a parcel and bill.
-> I received a letter, I received a parcel and bill

A better example would be: "I received a letter and a parcel and a bill". The ambiguity there would be that you could group any two of these or all three together. The sentence "I received a letter, and a parcel and a bill" would suggest the second two are grouped. You could also group the second two by omiting the 'a' from 'a bill', as in "I received a letter and a parcel and bill".

Also wrong. The comma is used to avoid ambiguity. Please tell me how you could possibly confuse the grouping of TWO items.
Is "Egg and Bacon" any different from "Egg, and Bacon"? I'm not usually one for being pedantic but I hate to see misinformation put so strongly. For once I'm making a rant that is actually on-topic.

It makes sense if you look at it correctly, you know with two eyes and a brain. You could get really technical, but it works.
