[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 5950357, member: 1165"] What does it do? A super-mark then. I'm not sure why he's resistant to daze, but I think you could adapt several PC powers to bypass that. For instance, the wizard spell Icy Rays (PH1, encounter 3; targets two enemies and immobilizes 1 turn on a hit). I don't think he's going to be too hot (*pun*) if he's frozen in place.
