When you read it (in combat), the critter is frozen in his tracks and cannot follow you. Good as a 'getaway' device. I am not sure what happens when you hit a monster so held. Some say the spell is broken, and some say you can just hack away with no retaliation. Can anyone clarify this?? ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
