The spell Bands of Steel, pg 24 of the Spell Compendium, states
What does immobile mean?
Immobile according to the Grapple rules, with a pin, state:
However, the condition "Helpless" states,
The description of the spell says the victim is unable to move. Thus, he is bound, right?
So, long story short, how do others rule the spell Bands of Steel?
Is the victim helpless? Does the victim only have a penalty to AC? A Dex penalty (for at least allowing sneak attacks, etc)?
Thanks for your time.
"The victim must succeed on a Reflex save or be immobilized and thus unable to move."
What does immobile mean?
Immobile according to the Grapple rules, with a pin, state:
So for grappling, immobile means a loss of AC and that's it. No Dex penalty, nothing."When an opponent has pinned you, you are held immobile (but not helpless) for 1 round. While you’re pinned, you take a -4 penalty to your AC against opponents other than the one pinning you."
However, the condition "Helpless" states,
"A helpless character is paralyzed, held, bound, sleeping, unconscious, or otherwise completely at an opponent’s mercy."
