11-10-04, 09:00 PM We're fighting some mind flayers and they have that nasty mind blast ability which stuns people. Other than waiting for it to wear off, is there some way (magical or otherwise) for a character to become unstunned? We saw that Heal would remove a stunned condition but is that the lowest level spell we can use to removed the stunned condition??

.. that I'm aware of .. yes ..

The only other way I know of doing it .. is to be a Psion/Wilder type and using the feat Unconditional Power ... but that gets costly .. :rolleyes:

11-11-04, 09:49 AM Believe it or not, Spell Immunity (Cler 4) will negate a mind flayer's blast and un-stun someone if cast after the fact. The blast is treated as a 4th level spell-like ability, and thus is a valid thing to have Spell Immunity protect against.

Globe of Invulnerability (Sor/Wiz 6) will also stop the mind blast, but it will not un-stun someone after the fact.

Break Enchantment (Bard 4, Pal 4, Cler/Sor/Wiz 5) would also un-stun a whole group of people at once, assuming the Mind Blast is an Enchantment (which I can't find any reference of). The jury is still out on this one.

In fact, if we knew what school of effect a mind blast was, it would be possible to negate it with a Counterspell action.

11-11-04, 09:46 PM Don't forget the casting time on the restorations. With a casting time of 3 rounds, it is not normally an in-combat spell.

11-12-04, 01:27 AM would the bard's counter song work against mind blast? Or is the lack of sound make it so it is not applicable?
