Deep slumber was an improved version of sleep that affected more creatures and/or tougher creatures.[1]
Users[]
Typically an arcane spell,[1] it was also used by some clerics of the derro god Diirinka[6] and the elven goddess Sehanine Moonbow.[7]
Effects[]
This spell could only be cast at close range (unlike sleep, which had a medium range) but it could affect more creatures caught in the 10-foot (3-meter) radius burst and potentially tougher creatures as well.[1][8] Like sleep, the smallest and weakest creatures succumbed first and then the larger/tougher creatures if there was enough magical energy left in the spell. For creatures of equivalent size/toughness, the ones closest to the center of the effect were enchanted first. If any creature resisted this spell, they were unaffected. Those that did not resist fell asleep for a number of minutes equal to the experience level of the caster.[8]
This spell had no effect on undead, constructs, or creatures already unconscious.[8]
Components[]
In addition to verbal and somatic components, this spell required a few rose petals, a live cricket, or a pinch of fine-grained sand.[8]
