This is going to sound like the stupidest question in the freaking world, but is "Sleep Poison" not a sleep effect?!
To clarify, let me provide the situation. I was playing my Dragon Shaman (9th Lvl) last night in our bi-weekly 3.5 campaign. I get shot with a poisoned arrow that had some sort of sleep poison on it. I was instructed by the DM to make a fort save against the poison, to which I immediately said that I was immune to the sleep effect, due to draconic resolve. To which he replied that Draconic Resolve only works against things like spells/spell-like abilities. That I'm not immune to poison, so I still suffer the effects.
Draconic Resolve - Gained at Dragon Shaman 4th lvl. "You are immune to sleep and paralysis effects. You are also immune to the frightful presence of dragons."
I'm sorry, but how does a poison that has the effect of putting one to sleep, NOT COUNT AS A SLEEP EFFECT.
He told me that if I could find a rule in one of the books to back me up that It'd be okay. Search as I did, the ruling I sought was nowhere to be found. I can only assume that I couldn't find it because THE ANSWER IS SO FREAKING OBVIOUS IT SHOULDN'T NEED CLARIFICATION!!!
Opinions/Rulings are appreciated.
