Description
The enemy humanoid becomes paralyzed and freezes in place. It is aware, but it can take no actions for a maximum of 6 seconds per caster level. A successful Will save negates this effect. The enemy may attempt to make a new Will save every 3 seconds. Humanoids include Kobolds, Goblinoids, player races except for Warforged, and more creatures. Attacks against a held opponent no longer result in automatic critical hits but rather follow the rules of helpless opponents.
Notes
- Characters underwater can’t surface and may drown.
- Note that as non-humanoids, Warforged are immune to this spell.
- A winged creature who is paralyzed cannot flap its wings and falls, though currently there are no known winged humanoids in the game.
