[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 82345, member: 284"] Well, technically, in this case you are using different rules. I've shown where it states that you can't make a Reflex save if you can't move, or have nowhere to move to. You have not demonstrated where it states anything contrary to that. I'm not trying to tell you how to run your game, I'm just trying to explain what I believe the intent of the rules are, and why they are that way. If you prefer to allow a paralyzed person to somehow make a reflexive move to reduce damage, more power too you. That's just not what I believe the rules say. I could see you making a case for allow a Fort save modified by your current Dex of 0 (or something similar), but I just can't understand how you reach the conclusion that you can make a Reflex save when you can't move. *shrug* [b][/b] Most of the time, I am correct, especially when I can find specific text to support my position. When there aren't any clear or specific rules for a given situation, I'm just as likely to be incorrect as anyone else. [b][/B] That wouldn't be honest, and I try not to lie to people. [/QUOTE]
