Infinite Paralysis

[Ignignokt]

I've been loving this game despite bugs frequently popping up, and have up until this point kept quiet with no complaints. However... (Spoilers for the Varnhold Vanishing up ahead)

During the fight with Vordakai, my main character and Valerie were both hit with paralyze, which is a permanent effect. Even after the fight with Vordakai ended, the effect persists, and I have nothing in my inventory, nor any skill in my party that can get rid of it (I've tried every skill I have in my party, and I am admittedly unsure what even removes paralysis).

I'm now just stuck, my main character unable to move means that I cannot progress with the quest, or the game at all, ever, until he is somehow un-paralysed. So I suppose I just cannot play the game now? Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

And no, reloading isn't going to help because I'll just be in the same situation. I'll get paralysed at some point during the fight and still have no idea how to get rid of it.

Freedom of movement should help with the paralysis. I'm not sure, though: I casted it, along with death ward, but Vordakai died too quickly.

♥♥♥♥... I /just/ reloaded save to pre-Vordakai fight and then realised I had a wand of freedom of movement... Woops.

Edit: Still have to admit that the perm-paralysis is going to be very very frustrating for underprepared beginners.

Remove paralysis is a cleric 5th or 6th level spell.

Yeah... Sadly, Linzi did not have remove paralysis, and Tristan, yknow, leaves mid-fight bc story. So was not available to me.

[Yandros The Mad]

My bad it's a 2th level spell. But yeah I feel you for the time and place :/

I think you can buy scrolls of cleanse / remove X or Y ....

Always a good idea to be prepared :)

Resting helped in my case *with resting removes negative effects turned on

[Couga]

Yeah nice.
I'm stuck at this point aswell now after the fight against Vordakai. MC is permanently paralysed and no one in my group can remove it. I also don't have any rations anymore, so resting isn't an option either.
I have no desire to reload and try the fight again and again till I get lucky and get out the fight without paralysis. This is really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.

Remove paralysis is a low level cleric, bard, paladin and inquisitor spell.

[Mauman]

can you still rest? Try turning on statuses go away on rest in the difficulty tab. That might work.

Honestly, I think I turned difficulty down to story and rested and the paralysis went away.

[Myrryr]

Yeah... that's a lich's creeping paralysis. It's a fort save touch attack that causes permanent paralysis (and in the tabletop, also makes you appear dead unless you succeed on a heal check, so it's entirely possible for your party to waste a raise dead on you, or leave you and then you actually die later of thirst/monster attack)

No it's a fun aspect of the game.

It seems you imagined you can't rest, but you could just make your priest(s) select some spells removing paralysis, rest, cure and continue.

Once I had to learn a spell 7 times or even more, to restore levels, but I had 2 priests.

EDIT your name is a crap boredom, it breaks quoting. Enjoy bother people?

Reloading save is all you can do at this point other than rest. It's what I did and just had better luck the second time around and was not perm-paralysed on my MC. It is what it is.

I think the only real problem here is that the tutorial's and such are so limited. It SHOULD teach you about Petrification, Negative Levels, Poison, Death Ward and other such things.

That's exactly the issue (in my opinion). I understand that many people who play this game are fans and players of the tabletop, but not all players of this game are. There defintiely should have been a bit more focus on explaining to and teaching newer players about these things. Myself included. I'm not new to tabletop games, which is why I'm quick to dismiss people who reply with attitude along the lines of 'clearly you've never...' etc. But all tabletop RPGs are also not the same. Anyway, not important, point is that I agree, tutorials could definitely be more helpful for new players if they were a bit more fleshed out.

What does this even mean lmfao. I understand that my name seems to break the quoting, but "your name is crap bordeom" and "enjoy bother people?". Sorry bro, no understand.
