Would casting a non-damaging spell on a sleeping creature wake them up? What sort of check would that be? I don't think it's in the rules, but I'd like some opinions. Thanks!

Depends on the spell really. If its something that would waken someone normally, then of course. Otherwise, how would they know?

Charm Person? No movement, no sound, likely not going to awaken them.

Enlarge Person? The ground slides under them, they likely hit their head / feet against something, yup, going to wake them up.

Judgement call really.

Complete agreement with Tyger2. It depends, and requires a DM's judgment call.

I also agree, it depends on the spell. Note, if they MAKE a save, then I would rule that they wake up.

Also I would probably make it a roll of some kind to wake up, not a certain thing, unless they had some kind of flaw/feat called "light sleeper".

P.S. Seeker95, how do you do the superscript 2?
