    Ok, I was in the dungeon in P. Schuyler's and I looked in several magic boxes, barrels, etc... And a couple of them I set off traps. Ok. Now later in our battles Sogg Mead Mugg froze up a couple of times with some green crap surrounding him. Also I noticed every once in a while some green smoke would flash around my character's body. I think it said trap every time the smoke flashed. Now this didn't only happen when I tripped a trap on a box. It happened during battles or just standing around. I couldn't see any physical damage to my person from the traps....What do you suppose the traps did to me? I wasn't poisoned...

    Sometimes some creatures freeze with this
    spell and then you'l just have to kill them.
    I never saw this spell caused by a trap
    but I suppose you can you use one of the spells in the meta college...
    (I don't remember which one,just read what they do).

    There's a way to resist the entangle spell. I forgot the formula but I got it in here if not the game *.dat file.

    It's resisted by your willpower. It lasts until either you successfully throw it off, or the caster of it runs out of fatigue (if it was cast on you, not if it was a trap).

    It's automatically resisted by your willpower - the game keeps on rolling until you break free or it times out I guess...

    I suggest you rank up your perception to prevent being ridden by traps.

    High perception doesn't spot traps. Spot traps skill spots traps. Of course, you need perception for spot traps...
