Can we apply Box's suggestion to Sleep?

Because you're playing an elf?

No.

I just feel like it's appropriate.

I vote no on this one.

When comparing this spell to COLOR SPRAY, which works regardless of levels, I do not believe this is over powering at all.

No.

I have no idea what the suggestion is, but I know thomas is after teh powah. So no.

Color spray doesn't allow you to one hit kill level 8 PCs.

Put a level 8 PC to sleep, and you get a coup de grace. Bam. Dead.

Not Happening.

PCs fall asleep. They don't get COup de Grace

As much as I'm against this idea as well (at least for the moment), I would point out that there is no coup de grace on anything higher than level 4, or against PCs for that matter, unless you've all fangled with the engine.

As described here:

Sleep is 3 rounds+1/caster level and is a targetted AoE.

Color Spray is 1+1d4 rounds and is a Cone spell.

Can noone see a problem that may arise in higher level?

Orc BESERKERS disagree with empowering this spell. They don't want to be in the same situation as ORC WARRIORS. This spell is still useful, even at high levels.

a level 0 and 1 spell being as useful as a level 0 and 1 spell should be whoa ho ho we can't have this, buff please

gonna beat the fuck out of you dead horse

We discussed this once already. It was decided no, and I was the one who originally brought it up. Way too powerful.

I think a better idea would be to make more quests with buffed-up level 4 spawns where use of sleep would be entirely appropriate. Mist dreamer's quest anyone?

Yeah, just lower the monster levels.
