In addition, the target can spend 5 feet of movement to automatically escape from nonmagical restraints, such as manacles or a creature imposing the Grappled condition on it.

Posted Jul 1, 2025This spell has become largely obsolete in the fact that a lot of monster's actions (for example, a lich's Paralyzing Touch) are no longer considered magical effects, since they aren't EXPLICITLY described as magical in a rule. Seriously guys, was Melee Attack Roll really that much easier to understand than Melee Spell Attack? This change in Stat Block design only causes more problems rather than streamlining gameplay.

Posted Jul 18, 2025Since the lich is described as a wizard in the statblock, I'd say any ability that feels magic is.

Posted Jul 19, 2025I completely agree! For my own games, I've concluded that if a creature's attack/ability uses one of its mental Ability Score Modifiers (Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma), then it's considered magical.

Posted Sep 27, 2025Does this mean if I cast Melt Into Stone, then this, I can swim through solid stone?

Posted Sep 29, 2025No, because strictly speaking Meld Into Stone doesn't reduce your Speed, nor does it make you Paralyzed or Restrained. It very deliberately doesn't use those terms to ensure that it can't be overridden by things like this.
