[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9252401, member: 7030563"] They issued an errata that changed Sanctuary. Damage is not in the original paper PHB printing, but it is in the digital versions and I believe in newer paper printings as well where it states [I]"lf the warded creature makes an attack, casts a spell that affects an enemy, o[U]r deals damage to another creature[/U], this spell ends." [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/phb/spell-descriptions-s#Sanctuary[/URL][/I] The fact that grapple is an attack is why I only cast Sanctuary after the Troll was already grappled (as explained in the setup) at which point the Barbarian would not be attacking it any more. IF the grapple did not succeed the Cleric did not cast Sanctuary, in this case she cast SOF instead on round 1, since the Barbarian would be "attacking" again next turn. There is no action required to maintain a grapple. It is not attacking, it is not affecting an enemy with a spell and it is not damaging another creature, so RAW it does not break Sanctuary. You can rule otherwise at your table, but that is not RAW. With the Grapple in place the Barbarian Dodged, which is none of these things. [/QUOTE]
