And I agree that the 'concept' of the ability clearly seems intended to let you break out of paralysis and fear effects, but the rules mostly do not allow that.Yeah...we promptly started editing that ability as soon as my warblade took it.  He can use it to break out of paralysis, remove poisons, or even cure himself of the effects of drugs and alcohol, or VD. Lots of stuff...but sorry, no walking into a natural field of null magic and instantaneously ending the effect...no picking up an artifact and breaking their side effects automatically.  No ending area effect spells that dont target me specifically.</blockquote>
