Sleep spell and a shout

[avin]

A shout wake up a character is affected by sleep spell on 4E?

 

[elecgraystone]

Nope. A sleep spell doesn't actually put you to sleep.

A made save will get them moving though.

 

[Rafe]

Yup, sleep puts you unconscious, not asleep.

What's the difference from Hold Monster now? Only that "damage" puts you out of "sleep"?

Damage doesn't wake you up from the Sleep spell either. Only making your save does.

 

[avin]

Well...

PHB pg 263:
When you are sleep, you are unconcious. You wake up if you take damage

 

[Caliban]

So, Speel is 4E's Hold Monster?

Pretty much. Of course, you have to beat their Will defense, and they have to fail a save before they are actually unconcious from the spell.

The Sleep spell doesn't give you the sleep condition though. It magically makes you unconcious, and the only way to become concious is to make your save.

Of course, instead of loud shouts or surly language, you could just use Heal checks to give your party friend a saving throw....

Sure can, but not not just casual (free action) bellowing... you have to get up close and really shout. This is an untrained Heal check requiring a standard action:

Grant a Saving Throw: Make a DC 15 Heal check. If you succeed, an adjacent ally can immediately make a saving throw, or the ally gets a +2 bonus to a saving throw at the end of his or her next turn.

Those trained in Heal know that shouting isn't the only course of action.
