Not a bug. There was a change awhile back. You used to get a single saving throw to resist a paralyzation attack when it happened. Now the affect always hits you, but you get a saving throw every time you attempt an action until the affect wears off. If you fail the save, you are unable to perform the action in question.

So does that mean you -can- be MORE paralyzed?

Paralyze from undead stacks?

How exactly do you conclude that paralyze stacks? Just looks renewable to me...

You get a save for when it initially pops and then you get a save for each action you are trying to do, that includes starting to concentrate, actually casting the spell aswell as automatic attack rounds.

I spam flee until I run away.

One step closer until PK is impossible?

You can't see it in that log but I've seen my wraiths paralyze the same thing within the same tick several times...i just figured that the paralyze wasn't effecting it so they tried to paralyze it again.

...and if this is the case...I don't see a point to paralyze at all. Because those NPC's can still attack. I mean...Forlan could still get three attacks.

There's a delay on each action, like confusion.

Sometimes they seem to fail the save for the actual weapon skill check or something and everything just deflects, even if they managed the skill check on the second/third attacks.

Paralyze is still very powerful, however, it is no longer an I-win-no-matter-what-happens. Even if they manage to flee, their movement after combat is still severely inhibited. Paralyze before was incredibly lame.
