Nothing is immune to daze?

[Ovinomancer]

Maybe this has been hashed out before, but it has just come to my attention that no creature is naturally immune to daze(the condition, not the spell). Not constructs, not undead, nothing. Immune to stunning, but not daze. I find that odd.

The condition itself does not mention it, but the daze spell is Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]. The effect as listed in the text is similar to the condition, hence the dazed condition can be inferred as being mind-affecting.

Several types would therefore be immune to being dazed: constructs, oozes, plants, and other mindless creatures (most undead, most vermin and swarms).

....the dazed condition can be inferred as being mind-affecting.

That seems a bit weak.

 

[werk]

under construct:
Immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects).

so...

Daze
Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]

but not...

Blasphemy
Evocation [Evil, Sonic]

So, some types are immune to some of the spells that causes daze.

daze has as its implied concept...no action.

actions mean something in D&D. whether the action is an attack action or a move action

so basically anything that can move or attack... can be caused to stop moving or attacking.

the mechanic is just that... a way to stop the creature.

perhaps it is a construct or ooze or plant or ... anything that can perform an action

Can a "dazed" monster make Attacks of opportunity since it cannot take actions?

Some may say by the RAW a dazed creature can make AoA for that reason. But if so, a helpless creature can do the same. So I don't get that interpretation.

if you can't perform an attack action... i don't think you threaten.

ergo... no AoO.
