Gameplay[]
- Free Action instantly cures paralysis, stun, hold, entangle, web, grease, and slow.
- Additionally, for the duration of the spell, the recipient will be immune to all of the above except stun, which can still be inflicted.
- The character's movement rate will also be set to normal (even if they normally move faster), and they will be immune to any haste effects for the duration.
- Free Action and the 3rd level priest spell Remove Paralysis are the only spells which cure stun, although a stun caused by a magical effect can additionally be removed by Dispel Magic.
