Heh...trust me, I noticed those deafens. I would even gear up heavy on the save vs. spell specifically for fighting against you to try and protect against them. Of course, I grab all the save vs. spell crap I can, get blessed, etc... and run up, only to have you nail me on the first try for what seemed like the 5th straight time. At that point I just figured you must have some special Emperor deafen or special spellcraft that is ten times more potent than your average AP's.

Of course, now I know as well as your everyday conspiracy theorist that you were granted a special form of the deafen spell because you were an Imm playing a mortal. ;P

(Actually, it seemed like all the APs had great success landing crap on me - Nuloh, you, etc... On the flip side, transmuters seemed to never be able to paralyze me.)
