I had a bit of an issue with her in the abyss today.

(1) She managed to paralyze Deci who is paralysis immune by virture of being a half dragon (RDD 10) and by virtue of being an Eladrin.

It was suggested to me by another players that is the way bigbys grasping hand has been implemented but should there then be an opposed strength check each round if it is that spell?

(2) Far more serious an issue is the effect re applies itself every few seconds, even after DEATH and post REST

Maybe this spell needs removing / replacing from her repotoire until its fixed.

Correct me if I am wrong, but are you talking about variation of Bigsby that stuns? The effect you describe tells me it probably is.

Stun and paralyze are not the same things.

Either that or the one that grapples you, neither of which care about Paralysis immunity.

If it reapplies after rest, thats probably a bug. Try releasing spells, getting dispelled or just waiting for the duration to end.

And in terror they run and hide,
From the shadows of old we rise,
Awakened, from the dark!

Over the ancient ruins we fly,
Where the old kings go to die,
And the new kingdoms rising high,
Awakened, from the dark, dark slumber!"

Yup, there are some buggy spells like that.

When you hit respawn it clears all effects that are on you... however, some just don't go away.

As Tom says, you can use the DM tools and use the release spells button (under Misc i think) - ideally before you hit respawn. If you forget, or don't realize, well, there is no XP penalty for hitting respawn in the mortuary, although if you do so then the teleport guy will just port you from the mortuary to... the mortuary, since that was the last place you died. And there is still a small gold cost for hitting respawn in the mortuary.

Grapple is more likely than stun, as you can still take actions while under that spell's effects...

If releasing spells after re-spawning from death does not get rid of he grapple effect, and the spell duration is not expiring, how best to get rid of the effect?

Make sure you kill her!

If release spells doesn't work, then that's a big problem as thats the final work around.

However, from my experience, i've never actually suffered from this problem, and in 90% of cases where i go up against the hellfire erinyes the result is usually my death while bigbied.

Hrmmm... Does the Release Spells function allow a pure melee type an exploit against casters by allowing them to release negative spell effects in combat situations?

You can only release spells when out of combat IIRC.

And using exploits knowingly is a good way to get banned if you are spotted.

We include the release spells to help people out, but if people abused it, we would remove it.

Totally understood. I just have a very limited understanding of how all the NWN pieces fit together, so I ask more out of curiosity than out of an eagerness to get away with things.
