Talk:Bigby's crushing hand

Cut-scene?
http://nwn.bioware.com/underdark/character_exaltedsorceress.html

this mentions a "cut-scene" effect that is unique to bigby's crushing hand. does this prevent PCs with freedom from casting dispel or MD on themselves? does it prevent PCs from reading a dispel or MD scroll?

what exactly does he mean by "cut-scene" effect? -- User:216.183.185.137 October 2007


 * It's the same cutscene immobility used by Bigby's grasping hand. All it does is prevent a creature from moving, but it bypasses all immunities. --The Krit 22:46, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Empowered spell
Why is there a note about empowering this spell? It's level 9, so it can't be empowered. 65.175.185.183 03:29, August 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Someone can want to move this spell on lower level. :P Michalwadas (Talk!) 14:11, August 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * The note is there presumably because the script allows for empowerment (and maximization, for that matter). I would not object to removing the note on the basis of the inability to actually empower this spell. --The Krit 19:29, August 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and removed the note. --The Krit 17:41, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Damage type
Hi, what kind of enchantment has this damage? +0,+1,...? --37.188.238.21 18:20, 24 July 2013 (UTC)


 * If there was an enchantment, it would be mentioned. Any type of damage reduction will reduce the damage. --The Krit (talk) 00:37, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Dispelling
I don't know why someone thinks it's noteworthy to mention that spells can be dispelled, but it's certainly not new in the Enhanced Edition. (I certainly wouldn't mind removing the note completely, but keeping it is better than an edit war.) --The Krit (talk) 21:10, December 14, 2019 (UTC)


 * Perhaps I should add that the mention of "special ways" to remove immobilization in an earlier note means ways that target the immobilization specifically. Of course the effects can be dispelled; if that was not the case, there would be a note to that effect. You can dispel the immobilization of this spell, the paralysis of this spell, and even the effects of most other spells. The Enhanced Edition did not introduce that. --The Krit (talk) 21:23, December 14, 2019 (UTC)


 * (There are no special ways to remove immobilization, though.) Please explain why this is included if there IS in fact a way to remove it. This is why the dispel edit is there, otherwise remove this line because it is incorrect. --66.38.112.230 21:31, 14 December 2019‎ (UTC)


 * The note containing that quote is there because there are special ways to remove paralysis, with "special" meaning that it cannot remove the effects of most spells. Paralysis and immobilization are closely related in this spell in that a target will get one or the other. So a note about paralysis seems like it should at least mention immobilization, even if that mention says that there is nothing to say regarding special methods of removal. --The Krit (talk) 21:43, December 14, 2019 (UTC)
