User blog comment:Drexzen/Discussion of the Week: Paralysis/@comment-5043481-20140120122225

I have lost count of how many times a vespoid or genprey has paralysed me while preparing a full GS charge on a trapped monsters face.

My least detested paralysis monster is gobul, as he only uses it rarely and he is fun in most other respects.

I would change paralysis by removing the monsters growing resistance to it. 1st time, para is easy, then it just gets harder and harder to inflict with each success. At low rank, this isn't a problem, but in high and G where monsters typically take more than 5 minutes, it reduces para (as well as poison) weapons to junk. The low raw to 'balance' the status doen't help.
