Six, if they drain you enough, you'll get encumbered, which will be nearly worse than getting stunned. If you get encumbered, the only way out is to start dropping stuff.

It'll be the same as getting stunned, except that you have no chance of recovering in this one.
I agree. And one other thing. You can protect against STR drain only with PFMW.
I once forgot about STR drain and waltzed happily among those "fish" with stoneskin and ring of free action. Boy was I surprised when THE HAND appeared.

Stun can be avoided with free action (ring, spell). But in this case it's useless. You die anyway, ha, ha ...
[/QUOTE]Leslie, equipping the Mace of Disruption +2 should protect against the strength drain. Or just use the spell NPP.
