Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shin Okada" data-source="post: 5340563" data-attributes="member: 1956">AFAIK, by RAW the only ways to make someone unable to use one's power are,1: Make him unable to meet the Requirement of his powers.2: Make him helpless (often that means he is unconscious). As he cannot take any action, he can't use almost all of his powers3: Make him dead.Those 3.Unfortunately, most powers don't have "requirement" line. So, basically, as long as a character or monster is living and able to take appropriate action for that power (minor, standard, etc.) he can use that power.That means, in 4e, it became much easier to capture a bad guy without killing him. But it is very difficult to keep harmless and interrogate or imprison him.</blockquote>
