Subject: Breaking a "Root" spell cast on you!


Hail Fellow Singers!

Adventuring in my favored zone of the West Commonlands near Freeport, I
stumbled upon an interesting fact which has now saved my life numerous times
- the Accelerando OVERCOMES a GhoulRoot spell!

While adventuring in this zone with my two other regular fighting companions
(a cleric and a warrior), we decided to begin taking on the ghouls that
occasionally spawn at the tower along the north wall. Because I am the
speedy one of the bunch, i run up and bait the ghoul out. Well lo and
behold he roots me! In my scramble to keep myself healed, I hit my hot key
to the accelerando instead and I can suddenly move, even though the
GhoulRoot was still on me. Needless to say the next time we got in a fight
with the ghouls I tried this again, and it worked again. It also worked for
other members of my party, after they were rooted.

I have not personally been up against a Shaman or Cleric type outdoors yet,
so I do not know if this technique will work on their version of root. Does
anyone else know?
