Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nellisir" data-source="post: 87121" data-attributes="member: 70">I'm using it quite a bit.  It's useful since it can potentially affect up to 18 HD of creatures, or one 18 HD creature (if the only thing, or the weakest thing in the area of effect).  A few monsters with this spell ability at will can really play havok on the party.  Also, there's no verbal component (for wizards & sorcerers)Anyways..."heedless of all else" simply replaces "stare blankly at you" and "rapt attention" as flavortext.  They are not blinded, stunned, or otherwise disabled.  They may be caught "flat-footed" at the DM's discretion by an unanticipated attack (sneak attack, invisible attacker, invisible spellcaster).  "affected by hypnotism" is not flavor text, since hypnotism is italicized, clearly indicating the spell and its attendent effects (note they are not "hypnotized", they are "affected by hypnotism".I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it seems to be consensus.  You can certainly continue to treat it as an improved sleep spell, but you might consider changing it to a third level spell, since it no longer requires a verbal component, affects additional Hit Dice of creatures, and removes the HD limitation of sleep (will not affect creatures over 5HD).CheersNell.</blockquote>
