So, question, Hold Person.
So, question, Hold Person. Spell name says “Person,” description says “Creature,” which means it’s basically akin to “Hold Monster,” as well? Had a Cleric throw this down at a dragon and succeed with an 8. I didn’t want to summarily say “Nope, it’s immune to that,” even though I think it should be (and I hadn’t explicitly annotated it as “Immune to…”). Since the Drago could still speak, and therefore, I assume still use a Breath Weapon (plus cast the spells I gave it), the situation turned into a Parley, which had the PCs give up some valuables in exchange for dropping the enchantment and 1 day to leave the drag’s territory (Mr. Drags also cooked and ate all their horses). That said…
Seems like the ability to “Hold” anything, Person, Creature, whatever, is ridiculously overpowered for a 3rd level spell. versus what is supposed to be a possibly lethal encounter. I don’t want to negate the Cleric’s ability to use the spell on basically almost anything, but wouldn’t it be fair to say the intent behind “Hold Person” is really something Humanoid, or, you know, a “Person?”
How do/would you run it?
