So freedom of movement should protect from the mummy. For whatever reason they chose to use the game term paralyzed, just the same as they use for something like ghoul touch.Dominate puts you under someone's influence, it doesn't slow them down or cause them to be unable to move. If I cast dominate person on a fighter, I can tell them to run far far away, their movement isn't impeded. It's just directed. In other words, i'd say dominate person would work on someone with freedom of movement on. Of course, if you're worried about domination, protection from [foo] and magic circle against [foo] are low level spells that protect against all of that stuff, so it's usually not a big deal. This would be the same reason why freedom of movement doesn't protect against frightened or panicked. Your movement isn't impeded, you're able to move as fast as you want. Unfortunately, it probably won't be in the direction you're wishing.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Lastly, from the SRD:A paralyzed character is frozen in place and unable to move or act. A paralyzed character has effective Dexterity and Strength scores of 0 and is helpless, but can take purely mental actions.So yes, they can take mental actions.Edited: Wasn't thinking, and put wouldn't instead of would for dominate person. Noooo, not a freudian slip... hehe.</blockquote>
