I have a question about the Wizard's Sleep power.
True or false: When a target falls unconscious because it failed its first save against the Sleep power, it will not awake up when it takes damage.
I believe the answer is "True", because the rule that allows a creature to wake up after taking damage is under the rules for being asleep. The sleep power, however, causes targets to become unconscious, which is a specific status in the rulebook taht mentions no rule about waking up after taking damage.
This seems like a very potent power. With a pair of lucky die roles (his attack, and the monster failing its save), the Wizard could potentially render a powerful opponent completely helpless and susceptible to a coup-de-grace. Better yet, it can hit several enemies at once, and still slows enemies when it misses.
