I did something like that for the named Demon Lords in Out of the Abyss: they're immune to 2nd level and lower spells unless they want to be affected, immune to nonmagical attacks, and anything less than +3 weapons or another demon lord-type attack, they're resistant. It may sound harsh, but...

My closest use is backpacks since we use encumbrance rules. For even a 14 STR character, a full backpack with typical starting gear is enough, with armor on (because what good adventurer wouldn't wear full plate for a 12 hour hike through the wilderness?), to make them encumbered. At higher...

Jumping into this conversation late in the game as a DL afficionado. DL "good" and "evil" has very little to do with the morality of mortals. It has to do with the existence of the cosmos, which despite the will of the Highgod, is a very fragile thing. Evil consumes but also provides conflict...

Lol, yep. Been awhile since I cracked that open but there it is, in all its glory: Shandril laughed. Her blazing fingers found the throat of her tunic and ripped it open. From her bared breast poured out spellfire as she backed down the tunnel. Rock cracked and burst into fragments.

Sounds right. Immobility, in realistic warfare, is huge. If you can't move, you're dead. The Net appears facially weak (why not just attack), but it can be nasty. So yeah, just as you listed.

I expect to use them more often when I don't want to track an experienced NPC as a full combatant but they're in the group for some reason (e.g. freed prisoner, scout guide). It's far easier to handle. If I need to explain it for verisimilitude, they're holding back, defending, avoiding trouble...

If a player declared fireball and wants to change spells later, they can't. Your declared action commits you to grabbing your sword, starting your motions for casting, etc. So, the initiative die never changes. Same for monsters. If the dragon is taking in a deep breath and the PCs scatter, it...
