Please read the beginning of the magic chapter under stacked effects. Charming spells can override other charming spells if they are at an equal or higher level.(there is a chart) and while the sleep spell has "command" in it's incant it is not considered a charm effect. Many exceptions were removed from the rules but it is hard to remove all exceptions without restructuring a system which was out of the scope of 9th edition. | ||

No person may have a second copy of the same spell actively affecting him or her unless the spell description states otherwise. If you are hit with a second effect that isn’t stackable, the call is “got it”. Calling “No effect” in this situation is incorrect. This definition is extended to include all identically named NERO game effects, not just spells. Identical effects are not stackable, unless noted in the effect’s description. The following spell types have special rules regarding spell stacking. I think this is a clarity problem that has existed for a long time. I think a lot of people thought that stacking referred to adding time. For example, "If you get hit with 2 sleeps, you don't have to sleep for 10 minutes." No where in that text does it say specifically what happens when the second effect happens. What we know is: - You cannot have two copies of the same spell effect at once - You call "Got It" I think that led lots of people (including everyone in my chapter) to think that the second copy overwrites the first, restarting the count. I'm not concerned either way about the rule. But I do believe it needs to be clarified. Perhaps changing all instances of "stacked" with "stacked/refreshed." | ||

In my experience, when this happens if it extends past 10mins you have 1 person babysitting another and 3/4ths of the "involved parties" wander away. Suck it up and advance your decision making process. | ||

You could never keep a building warded all the time. There would always be a five minute window (minimum) as the spell is re-cast. | ||
