[QUOTE="Whithers, post: 7122752, member: 6883963"] Yes, the interest in not moving is simply because it hurts each time they try. For a first level or weaker NPC, it would not be nice - might even result in death. But yes, eating the damage is the purpose of the save. Making the save eats the damage and releases the target from their position. It is sort of like a less powerful hold person, in that they don't want to move but must and will as the dice allow. They are not restricted from fighting defensively, casting, etc. Continuing to act is how the target eats the damage and becomes free of the spell. I figured the target would eat the damage. It is more to harry an opponent while others are damaging more effectively because the target hast to make a save to move and end the restraint. If you have ever had a gall stone you will understand. If you haven't then you can attempt to imagine. The idea was to make something that is more annoying, and plays more to RP than massive damage. If this were realistic then there would be a lot of bleeding (internally and otherwise) and the probability for nasty infections is really really high with a gut wound. (The digestion and decomposition of things in the middle is not done in a nice antiseptic manner.) But the spell is meant to be more fun than realistic. [/QUOTE]
