[QUOTE="Lizard, post: 4874378, member: 1054"] Well, it's "Immobilized until you're not adjacent to it". So you hit it hard enough that it can't move. Since you don't lose your weapon, assume you kneecap it, or, for ghosts and water elementals, disrupt it enough that it can't manage to move. If it tries to stagger away, you whack it again (this is not an actual rolled attack, but a description of how the power "works") Only if it is pulled away, or you leave, can it manage to get its feet (or pseudopods) working again. Generally, while it's a lot more realistic to impose limits on what martial powers can do, doing so screws over the martial classes, as wizards, swordmages, barbarians, etc, can use their powers to affect ghosts and elementals freely. You basically end up reducing the martial power source to second class status. It would be akin to saying some kinds of hit point damage can only be cured by clerics, not bards or warlords. [/QUOTE]
