Hi
Just a few quick questions:

1) Does concealment offer defensive bonuses vs spells like it does against attacks?
2) Anyway to slow the game down? It seems Quicken spell is not much faster than normal spell speed?
3) Does armour affect all skill scores?
4) What is the difference between: hold, paralysis and stun?
5) When we are mind-protected, what are we guarded against?
6) Can True Seeing see through Greater Sanctuary?
7) How do you get rid of the Black Blade of Disaster?

1 no dont think so
2 quicken only lets you cast 1 spell as a quickened spell per round; i believe someone said quicken is about the same as having boots of speed however and that boots and quicken do not stack.
3 no not all, the heavier the armor the higher the penalty towards various rogue like skills (eg hide, sneak etc)
4 their are different rules for each, i dont recall what they are; but for the purposes of you being unable to do things they result in the same
5 pretty much any spell whose description says its mind affecting (ie fear, weird)
6 no dont think so
7 dispell magic or similar spells, or the caster losing his concentration (ie trying to cast a spell or engaging in combat other than walking around) or atleast thats what it says in the spell description

You should get a percent mischance for concealment.

I still don't understand!

Is stun a mind problem?
Is @weird@ spell a mind spell or death spell or both?

As Gabrielles blades said weird is a mind spell. If stun is mindaffecting you can find in the spell description in your nwn manual which I don't have here now. I think it is a mind-affecting spell though
