Why can people attack someone inside of a pit, it really makes no sense.

Neither does carrying around 200 vials, wearing 8 different swords, or carring 700 lbs of raw lumber.

Pits would be pretty stupid if all that happened was you fell into them and were immune from being hit. You'd just sit there and heal yourself up to full while the Tracker stood there going "Why did I lay this again?"

not true they do afflictions and there is a 10 power illusions skill that does that exact same thing you speak of.

I'd gladly trade five afflictions for complete immunity to attacks. Difference between it and the ten power skill is this: maze afflicts when coming out and it afflicts alot harder, from what I've heard.

Maze is actually a variation of fleshstone/bubble. They remove you from combat for under 20 seconds, 8p, your demesne only, you can't do anything or have anything done to you, you can do it to yourself. Bubble also moves you around inside the demesne.

Maze costs 10p, can be done anywhere, can be dispelled/critiqued, afflicts, you can cure inside and move around (in the maze, not in the outer world), get hit with affs if you don't find the escape (which is pretty much impossible these days).
