The subject can still breathe but is otherwise helpless, being unable to see or take any physical actions. The subject cannot speak because the ectoplasmic strands muffle sounds, but the subject’s nostrils are clear. The subject can execute purely mental actions (such as manifesting powers). The writhing, regenerating nature of the cocoon prevents its occupant from making a physical bid for escape. However, cutting or damaging a large enough strand can free the cocooned victim. The strands have hardness 17 and 30 hit points.Creatures that are cocooned high in the air fall, and cocooned swimmers may drown.With the character unable to take damage from physical attacks while the cocoon still wraps them up and since this is a more limited form I could see giving the penalty you speak of (while trying to stay away from the 'save or die' attitude).</blockquote>
