I have Arbane's Sword (i think thats the name) equiped which grants free action when held. However when I cast web and wander in the web, I still get held. What gives? The sword is equiped and the little free action icon is there. I thought this would be a great little combo.

Read the Item Description.

"Immunity to Hold Person while equipped."

Always read the Item Description.

Yea, the item may present a Free Action icon in your character's portrait, but it doesn't make your character immune to web, entangle, plant growth, and so forth.

And then there's Firecam Free Action, which seems to be absolutely worthless. I was moseying through the Sewers yesterday and discovered that it doesn't give Keldorn immunity to Entangle--it just gives him immunity to the Portrait Icon of being Entangled, and the Spell Graphic that usually shows the vines trapping the person in a cage. So, there he was, unable to walk, with that good ol' "Firecam Free Action" icon in his portrait.

</font>[/QUOTE]Its only real use, if any, is to keep in a extra weapon slot, never to be used, but kept there for the haste once per day ability. That, or some gold ;)

Yes,but once you get Boots Of Speed it is worthless and then you can have that extra slot for another weapon

::hijacks the thread::

AFAIK, the boots of speed increase movement rate, while Haste/Improved Haste doubles movement rate and adds attacks per round. Is this still true?
