Do you think maybe it should be advantage so it dosn't shut down a hold set of spells. But when you look a Gnome Cunning it kind of balances which in turn seems a little over powered. I'm used to 3.5 and am just starting 5th. Please give your opinion. Thanks

Most of the other things are for flavor.   And there are not a lot of spells that put people to sleep, so I don't think that being immune to it is overpowered.
#4 Breefolk May 07, 2015 12:04:36	There is the Sleep spell, of course.  The thing is, the Sleep spell doesn't allow a saving throw; it just puts you to sleep if your hit points are low enough.  Being immune to that doesn't seem terribly overpowered to me, honestly.
