[QUOTE="Loonook, post: 5938799, member: 1861"] I do love the fact that a large portion of the community that accepts HP as an abstract system of measuring an individuals ability to continue fighting... Does not like the idea that when an individual is becoming incapacitated their ability to defend against spells and other effects decreases. The Fighter lives in a society of live by the sword die by the sword. The Mage, who is throwing fiery death from the skies, has various illusions to protect himself, and do all sorts of wondrous other effects probably not going to be very unsquishy. The fact is that I LOVE a Mage vs. Mage combat that causes the mages to protect themselves through their spellcraft or a meat shield to keep from being affected by spells. The threshold will, more than likely, vary, and as we are 2 years out and seen about 1/10 of what will appear in the text (of which there is no guarantee anything stays in the form we see) that we can draw out current spells to define our unfounded assumptions. The Fighter is harder to freeze than the common man due to his martial training. Hell, knights from Araxis to Gilead, the Iron Throne to Khatovar live in societies where magic/psionics/otherworldly power exists and, while the magic is deadly, they persevere. Wizards are squishy... And if they hit and cannot roll the MULTIPLE WISDOM SAVES that they have access to? Well then... Guess that intelligent, wise Wizard is just going to derp it up with the other lackwits. Slainte, -Loonook. [/QUOTE]
