Numbed (3.5e Condition)

Numbed
Summary::A state in which a creature's motor functions are heavily impaired, and their body responds very badly to muscle commands. A numbed creature is effectively slowed, and a creature with positive Strength or Dexterity modifiers has them reduced to +0, although technically a numbed creature still enjoys its Dexterity bonus to AC (meaning that it can't be sneak attacked). A numbed creature's capacity for somatic movements is greatly impaired, increasing their arcane spell failure chance by 50%. In addition, a numbed creature takes a &minus;4 penalty to AC, attack rolls, damage rolls, and all checks based on physical ability scores.

A number creature may still attack normally, and is capable of defending itself properly.
