Just read the rules regarding the Sleep spell. Does not being able to breathe not count as taking damage?

From what I've read of the rules for drowning, it surprisingly doesn't!

Because with drowning, the rule is literally "When a creature runs out of breath or is choking, it can survive for a number of rounds equal to its Constitution modifier (minimum of 1 round). At the start of its next turn, it drops to 0 hit points and is dying, and it can’t regain hit points or be stabilized until it can breathe again,"

So, no actual damage is dealt to the character like an attack or spell would deal damage. It's just you fall unconscious and start dying.

@Dark Cloud

Why did you think this was a good idea?

[Cao the Exiled]

Damn o _o

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Dark Cloud

OK. Casting Sleep was your action. You still have your Movement and Bonus Action (if any are applicable. Keep in mind you can't cast Bonus Action 1st spells or higher because you used Sleep for your action)

Along with the Perception check, I'll need you to make your IC post. We are still in initiative. ^^"

@rush99999

I thought it'd work, but it didn't and I have to roll with the punches.

Anyhow 16 for perception.

Okay, that is a success. So Gabriel also sees the bubbles rise up and realizes somebody stopped holding their breath.

[Dark Cloud]

@Guardian Angel Haruki I'll be sure to include that in my post. Will be done before I go to bed tonight.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Dark Cloud Thank you very much!

Now then...
@rush99999 Unfortunately, you won't be able to take your turn this round due to being asleep underwater. But, you don't have to make a Death Saving Throw this round. This is the first of the two rounds he survives while drowning (per his Constitution Modifier).

So that brings us to...
@XxFellsingxX It is Jub's turn. What does he do?

[rush99999]

@Guardian Angel Haruki iirc attacking a sleeping creature wakes it up, correct? Also do we have a map for this fight?

[rush99999]

@XxFellsingxX

Shaking them awake also works. Keep in mind, Brut is at 12 HP.

@rush99999

oh yeah okay.... good point xD

... also it's just occurred to me, once Brut wakes up, he's probably gonna be sober again, isn't he?

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@XxFellsingxX

Yes, attacking a sleeping creature wakes it up.
We do not have a map for this fight. I did not anticipate it and I still need to know how updated Owlbear Rodeo works. ^^"

[Cao the Exiled]

Owlbear rodeo...?

[XxFellsingxX]

Owlbear rodeo...?

@Cao the Exiled

That's the website we've been using for the battlemaps.

@rush99999 not great at reading emotions over text but I want to be clear and ask right now if you have any hostility towards me. Might be jumping conclusions but I'd rather have an open and honest discussion.

Call me neurotic but I just have the feeling that there is an underlying problem.

If not I'm just a doofus.

[Dark Cloud]

I hope you don't think I'm trying to kill you cause if nobody else can get Brut out of the water Gabe isn't just going to let you die. On my next turn I'm leaping in after Brut.

[Dark Cloud]

Anyways I think I'm reading too far into this. But that's what my anxiety does to me.

[rush99999]

@Dark Cloud

The DM asked the infamous warning question when you announced your intention to cast Sleep. You pressed on regardless.

As a result, I don't get a turn and Brut is now at the mercy of a pair of merrow.
