Great, DefineMeAsOne, I'm glad that they helped! Thanks for giving them a read.

It's difficult to say, but I think that having a little bit of time to gather my wits was a big help. In situations like yours where you're under direct attack and trapped by a seemingly powerful DC, it can be hard to reason out a good course of action. Even though once you wake up you know that of course you had control the whole time and of course anything you believed is possible would have worked... in the heat of the moment, it's just so tough!

It takes a lot of practice I think. I know that I continue to work at it myself!

Cheers, and thanks for setting off a great discussion!
