#1 asset: Free Action. That Paralytic Gaze is a bitch, since once you get Held, the Demons (and any allies he might happen to have nearby) get to take free potshots at you, and they'll always hit. And yes, they ARE smart enough to go for the party member who's helpless.

#2: Potion of Invulnerability. You don't need to be immune to Hold if you can guarantee that you'll make your Save.

#3: Mirror Image and Stoneskin. Since nearly every Wizard has these, as a last resort you can have somebody tank himself up and go melee a Demon. Even if he gets Paralyzed, the Demon won't be able to get through his defenses before the Hold wears off or you kill the Demon.
