Characters with Fey Ancestry put to sleep?? **Mild Act 3 Spoilers**

[Hedona0810]

Does anyone know why or how my entire party of elves are put to sleep in the Cazador fight? Surely Fey Ancestry would protect them from this? Is there some D&D nuance I'm not understanding or is this a bug/oversight? Thanks

Elves can have a little nap, as a treat.

I have no idea. In other games there are debuffs that annihilate your immunities, IDK about this game having anything like that though.

Not sure about this, but there are forms of magical sleep that can override a creature's immunity.

For example, a Wish spell.

Seems a waste of a wish spell xD

Wish, maybe. Other forms of magical sleep shouldn't affect fey creatures. This is from the elf's racial profile:

"Fey Ancestry. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep"

Right beneath that it then describes how elves "sleep" by entering a very short semi-aware trance. Elves and stuff make for good camp guards. :D

Isn't there some potion in the game that makes you fall asleep even if you are an elf and acts like a rest? I never used it, so not entirely sure how it works, but maybe Caz tossed one of them :D

Come to think of it, does Priestess Gut still put you to sleep, if you meet her in private, via potion or magic if you're an elf? Elves should be immune to her witchery, and I doubt she's powerful enough to be able to cast wish. xD

I can't remember what happens exactly, but she fails if you are playing half elf and goes aggro.

Oh really? That's pretty cool!

cant be put to sleep because elves don't sleep, lore wise they have a meditive trance called Reverie where they remember previous incarnations of their past lives as elves spirits dont die but reincarnate but before each reincarnation stay in their heaven. Darkelves have same trance but its blank/complete nothing as they where cursed by corellon and banished from ever returning to Arvandor.

Elves can be put to sleep by non-magical means. Drow Poison for example does the job.

That didn't happen during my playthrough. All my characters were awake for the battle.

High INT doesn't mean high WIS!

I've seen players take that concept to the logical conclusion before.

Priestess Gut always fails at putting elves to sleep and agros in rage.

You would think she would have some awareness that elves can't be put to sleep. That's gotto be common knowledge, right?
