2,004,717,056 seconds is 63.569 years. Stephen Hawking died at 76. 76 minus 63.569 is 12.43.

He was diagnosed when he was 21, so the spell duration should be 1,734,480,000 seconds.

It doesn’t say “paralyze…” it says “chance to…” so maybe it is multiplying that chance to paralyze times the number of seconds to come up with your estimate of how long he was paralyzed. It is the expected number of seconds of paralysis time to compensate for the risk of it not triggering.

There is a 1 in 4 base chance, it won't take 7 years to trigger.

it won't take 7 years to trigger.

Would be the most useless effect in the history of games if it did 😆

Depends on how many times it is used, tbf.

One hit from a mace is enough to paralyze any human, depending on how hard and where you hit them. I don't recommend you test that fact, but lawful self-defense with an opportune mace is legally defensible. I am not a lawyer and prior statement is not legal advice.

So you're saying that if he had lived longer, he would have regained full use of his body?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

We don't know how powerful the enchantment was, but if he had lived infinitely long, it stands to reason that he may have.

Thanks for saying what all of us were thinking 💭
