Paralysis is overpowered.

Alternatively-but along a similar vein-maybe a more broad resistance to psychic attack/mind damage, that also functions as the current fire etc. resistances. The latter would allow more anti-R'lyeh strategies, which would then probably make Late Era games more fun. LA Ermor already has a broad "blast 'em with holy magic!" emergency plan, so something like this seems fitting.

That's actually somewhat viable. I don't think we'll get it, but a cursed item that made you immune to mind burns, soul slays and charms would be quite useful. Something like a soul manifested as a physical flame.

Sweet! We could call it a Slave Collar.....

Well, I guess it needs Paralyze added to it, and then you're looking at something useful! I mean, why give that Bane Lord a ton of MR gear, when a simple Slave Collar will render him into a calm, focused, minister of death?


Oh and for the record, I don't think my suggestion to change Paralyze was all THAT drastic. Only the Paralyze spell would be reduced to either 30+ or 40+, since most people agree that simply with the hardcoded battle length, 60+ is a bit gratuitious.

Size accounted for, a 15 turn Paralysis still gives you a lot of chance to lay down some hurt. If you can't kill it in that time, perhaps you need to bring something MORE to the table than just Paralyze?

I'd actually accept if the Feebleminded condition gave you the Mindless trait (though I'm not sure if Mindless helps vs. Paralyze).
