Hold Person

elminster

Does anyone know if this works on werewolves? (I'm talking in game of course; obviously we all know werewolves in real life need to be shot with a silver bullet )

I mean putting aside their innate magic resistance, do werewolves count as being humanoid enough to be affected?

I'm thinking of playing a shapeshifter, but I'm just curious about this.

I had this originally in the new players section but well...uhh. It may not be the greatest place for it given the whole (no spoilers) deal.

Found a very old thread on ironworksforum that answers my question. Yes they can be.

You ditched the idea of playing shifter after finding out? :P

elminster

Nah I was just curious about the battle with Bassilus. It would have made it easier since he could just waste hold persons on me

Still going with shifter.

Don't worry. Everything is going to be okay.

:P

Mornmagor

Aye, thank god for the meatshields taking one for the team party members helping you out with that :]

@MedullaOblongata Do we have a dwarf,gnome, or halfling? if so send them lol.

But otherwise I guess the point of this thread is done

I usually Silence Bassilus, and don't need to worry about his Hold Person, or Rigid Thinking. If he makes saves, I also always have a few Hold Person and Web up my sleeves. I have a cleric Turn Undead to deal with the skellies and zombies.

Hmm, but yeah, it would be awesome if wolfie druids could gain a hold immunity.
