This is very distressing. I've written at length about the
problems and ill-feelings that develop when you make monsters
work by different rules than players. Instead of reducing
these differences, Verant seems to be increasing them.

Unless of course this means that players with SoW or
Accelerando cannot be rooted by mobs? That still seems
terribly unfair to the classes who cannot SoW or Accelerando
themselves.
