Bounced paralyzation ray does not paralyze PCs

The paralyzation ray from a wand of paralyzation does not paralyze PCs that lack -Para. This is inconsistent with other wands that bounce, like wand of poison, wand of death, wand of lightning, wand of magic missiles, etc. The paralyzation ray should paralyze PCs that lack -Para.

That's pretty interesting, but I think the formula might need some tweaking - I've never being paralyzed by a bounced wand. It's pretty widespread lore that bounced rays don't paralyze you, so I'm under the assumption that this has almost never happened to a player, so the risk of it happening is practically nonexistent.

You might be correct, if I get paralyzed by the wand I can move again in the next turn: "The paralyzation ray bounces! You are hit by the paralyzation ray! You are paralyzed! You can move again!".

Well, I will show the formula to Thomas, two parameters might have been swapped, but I'm not sure.

Probably some 20+ but I don't remember exactly, sorry.. I had recently received a number of corruptions, some of them might have modified toughness.

No bug there. But with a decent toughness score it's not too hard to resist.
