is an Outsider affected by sleep magic?

[Dracuwulf]

I believe it says in the srd that Outsiders dont eat or sleep. What happens when they have a sleep spell cast on them?

Outsiders breathe, but do not need to eat or sleep (although they can do so if they wish). Native outsiders breathe, eat, and sleep.

So, they fall asleep just like (almost) everyone else, since they can sleep (unlike elves).

I just want to think that they do what you (DM) want them to do. If you simply want to go by the MM, they are not specifically immune to sleep spells therefore you can magially put them asleep. But if you don't want a specific outsider to fall asleep, nothing can prevent you to rule that it doesn't.

No. You left out the important part of your own quote. "Outsiders breathe, but do not need to eat or sleep (although they can do so if they wish). Native outsiders breathe, eat, and sleep."

The important part of the quote is, "if they wish". That indicates that there must make a choice on their part to seep. They do not have to and they cannot be made to sleep unless they choose to or the spell description carves an exception to the rule by specifically stating otherwise.

Do they have a listed immunity to sleep effects?


No?


Then sleep magics work on them the same way they work on anyone else.

Hi!

But if they can sleep, they can be put to sleep.

Kind regards
