about the Hinder spell:

Well, after a glitch froze one of the Quake baddies into an indestructible
statue--effectively a piece of the background that happened to man-shaped, I
wondered at a spell that could do the same thing. I figured Hinder would be a
good place to start, but it stopped at reducing DEX SR to 10. While looking
through stuff, I noticed that Joint Rot completely immobilized someone at
SR20. The "hard as steel" was an attempt to reflect the indestructibility of
the Quake badguy. On thinking about it, I'd put the petrified individual's AP
at 30 or so, actually. Also, I didn't want the spell to be used to petrify a
target who could then simply have his throat slit.
So there! lol!
