Conditions whose IHSability reasonable DMs disagree on (judging by discussion in a previous thread):
  • domination
  • fascination
  • ability damage/drain/penalties (but not burn)
  • poison (having it in your veins such that you will need a second save in the near future)
  • paralysis
  • entangled
  • checked
  • petrified
  • ambush feats
  • balefull polymorph
  • disease
  • effects of ambush feats

It has also been pointed out that IHS completely ignores how powerful the inflicter of the condition is. Shouldn't a 20th level wizard be able to bespell a 5th level warblade and make it stick?
