a question on spell immunities

How do I protect myself against the effects of Web, hold Person and Stun by using spell immunity?

I know that the ring of free action ignores all these effects, but I want to survive on my own spells.

You can protect yourself from Hold Person with Spell Immunity: Enchantment/Charm, from Web with SI: Evocation, and from Symbol: Stun with SI: Conjuration.

Long story short: you can't protect yourself from all immobilize spells with just one spell immunity. My tip: put your proud aside and equip that ring

You can always equip the ring on the spot if you dont think its too much work.

Or use Keldorn's armor

Or the cleric spell "Free Action"... why does anybody wear thoses rings while you can cast a low-level cleric spell when you need it?

I prefer equipment-generated effects, myself. They can't be dispelled, and don't suddenly wear off or get forgotten during a big buff-fest. This is especially true with "free action". I hated the FoA when I suddenly slowed to a crawl, and couldn't catch opponants. I was tempted to revert to a saved game before Cespenar messed it up, but ended up item-swapping, just as I always did with the free action ring - using boots of speed/haste/imp. haste to catch opponants, then swapping to FoA if needed to cut through a skin, slow a magic-resistant critter, or what have you.
