[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 5321902, member: 18280"] Only to someone unfamiliar with the rules. There are creatures specifically immune to [I]sleep[/I], including elves (why I mentioned the elf), undead, etc. There is a Hit Die limitation to what is effected, as well as an area of effect. If those kobolds are spread out, [I]sleep[/I] isn't an autowin button at all, at all. Sleep also doesn't descriminate enemies, but rather by Hit Dice, so Crom help you if you try to [I]sleep[/I] that lone bugbear after he's engaged your 1st level fighters. Or if he has a few goblins backing him up. Take a look at the spell rules, take a look at the Level One wandering encounter tables in the 1e DMG, and get back to me. Look up the creatures in the 1e MM if you must, so that you can see which ones don't really care about [I]sleep[/I] spells and which ones do. Your "autowin" is a situational win at best, and has, IME, been the death of many a PC when used carelessly by magic-users who fail to read their spell descriptions. RC [/QUOTE]
