[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9251531, member: 7030563"] Yes, but it was still cast before my next turn. There is not a save every turn with WS. There is an initial save and then the following rounds it is an action to make a Wisdom [U]check[/U] .... and since the creature is frightened that check is always at disadvantage (nothing to do with ES on that). This is why WS is one of the most powerful first level spells in the game, it is extremely difficult and costly to shake - an action to TRY a Wisdom check with disadvantage. This also means that Wisdom proficiency does not count and that once it sticks, Legendary saves don't work (although they do work on the initial save). My DM prefers that we come to him with our understanding about how it works .... his position is give me a solution to this vs ask me for a solution to this. His common saying is "It's your characters ability, why are you asking me" The reason this matters is it determines if I multiclass out of fighter after 8 levels of fighter or 10 levels of fighter.
