[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 7484196, member: 467"] Tonight we played a Lair Assault for giggles, during which the villain successfully cast Hold Monster on one of the PCs. A cleric PC then cast Lesser Restoration on the affected PC, removing the paralyzed condition. No problem. That's how the spell is described. The question became: did it end the spell? By the description of Hold Monster, the spell ends when a character makes a successful save, or when concentration ends. But there is an argument to be made that the paralyzed condition is "cured" and the spell just ends. Alternatively you could still require the hold PC to make their save at the end of their turn and if they fail they return to being paralyzed. How would (or have) you ruled it? I know that 5e is intended to be open to DM interpretation, so I am not asking for definitive answers, just opinions and experiences. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
