SLEEP: Baldur's Gate 2 BG2

Sleep BG2

Sleep is a BG2 Best Spell in BioWare's cRPG of 1998-2001, Baldur's Gate 2. Sleep (Enchantment, SCRL81) is an AoE immobilizer that causes any enemies <=4HD +3 to fall asleep for 5 rounds per caster level. Save vs. Death at -3 penalty.

This spell is much less useful in BG2 due to enemies having higher HD.

Rank: Mid-tier (godly in BG1).

When a wizard casts a sleep spell, he causes a comatose slumber to come upon one or more creatures (other than undead and certain other creatures specifically excluded from the spell's effects). All creatures to be affected by the sleep spell must be within 30 feet of each other.  Creatures in the area of effect must make a saving throw at a -3 penalty or fall asleep. Monsters with 4+3 Hit Dice (4 Hit Dice plus 3 hit points) or more are unaffected. The center of the area of effect is determined by the spellcaster.  Magically sleeping opponents can be attacked with substantial bonuses.
