Suggestion: (Mostly) remove paralyze effect
In a bunch of places, people have had problems stemming from being paralyzed. And it's not surprising why: if you fail a roll and aren't wearing stasis, you're unable to act. If there are even moderately nasty nasties around, you might be unable to act for longer than it takes to die. It's just not very fun.
What do folks think about replacing it, in at least nearly all cases, with petrification, confusion, or sleep? All of them are dangerous, but all of them give you some chance to react: Petrify lets you fire off a tele or summon an ally, sleep ends when you take damage, and confusion lets you heal (unless you're undrinking -- but even then, there's distortion unwields).
For some reason, leaving paralysis as an effect for Giant Eyeballs seems appropriate, but maybe that's just nostalgia talking.
Thoughts?
