How To Prevent Daze

[KarinsDad]

Are there ways (i.e. protection or immunities) to the Daze condition itself?

For example, if a caster casts Celerity (PHB II, 105), he is dazed afterwards.

A Mind Blank will not protect against this since it is not a Mind Affecting effect.

So, is there another arcane spell that will make the caster immune to the Daze condition?

Not that I know of. Most ways how to get dazed include Mind affecting things but that's not what you need here as you know.

In regard to that spell it makes sense that there is NO way around being dazed.

Yeah, the nalfeshnee's smite ability can lay a pretty significant smackdown on PCs via the daze ability. Speaking from experience...

IIRC, there's a feat in Dragonmarked that renders one immune to daze. Dang, that's nasty with Celerity. I'm suddenly reminded of the text in hellfire warlock, which states that you have to take the side effect to get the bonus.

There's a feat in Dragonmarked, the Eberron book that came out last month. It prevents you from being affected by daze and stun.

Edit: Victim beat me to it.

Try Favor of Ilmater (magic of faerun) or Favor of the Martyr (spell compendium). Both are divine, but you could get some scrolls for the divine caster of your party or have an item crafted.

I think there's a psionic feat that lets you manifest even while dazed.

(edit) Found it:

UNCONDITIONAL POWER [METAPSIONIC]
Disabling conditions do not hold you back.

Benefit: To use this feat, you must expend your psionic focus. Your mental strength is enough to overcome some otherwise disabling conditions. You can manifest an unconditional power when you are dazed, confused, nauseated, or stunned.

Only personal powers and powers that affect your person can be manifested as unconditional powers.

Using this feat increases the power point cost of the power by 8. The power’s total cost cannot exceed your manifester level.

I think there might be another daze related feat in Complete Psionic, but I'm not sure.

What's even more interesting is that undead are NOT immune to daze. While most dazing abilities are mind-affecting, daze is not in itself a mind-affecting condition.

Mark of the Dauntless, IIRC.

If you're playing on the level of power that Celerity is, you should have no problem sacrificing a mere 300 XP to a Limited Wish emulating Favor of the Martyr.

For those Cerebremancers out there, the Unconditional Power feat will allow you to continue manifesting after becoming dazed.

Finally, the Celerity line of spells falls dangerously close to broken when combined with Time Stop. Who cares if they're dazed for the next round of apparent time...

Either way...just my 2 cp

Neat observation! That'd be fun to try to pull off sometime
