Granted, targeted spells are simple, but am I missing a chart? Something?   Played tonight with the new system, really enjoyed the flow! Threw five goblins at the group, the mage dropped a Sleep spell on them. What should I have had them roll against, to resist? OR, is there no save? OR, am I really over complicating this?   Gentle, kind answers appreciated.   Thanks!     *and is there a quick way to slay sleeping creatures? Did i also miss this?   I'm still loving it!
