SLEEP SPELL

SLEEP SPELL

Level:     B7, J23, M7, R22              Cost:      25 mana
Target:    one monster                   When:      non-combat
Delay:     one combat round              Duration:  7 to 12 hours

Effect:    Sleep puts the target to sleep.  Sleeping monsters sustain more damage when they are hit.  If a sleeping mobile is hit it will wake and fight normally.  The backstab skill never fails on a sleeping mobile, regardless
of the player class attempting the backstab.

Code:
      if (!saves_spell(victim, SAVING_SPELL) && GET_LEVEL(victim) < LVL_IMM) {
        af.type      = SPELL_SLEEP;
        af.duration  = 4+(GET_LEVEL(ch)>>2);
        af.modifier  = 0;
        af.location  = APPLY_NONE;
        af.bitvector = AFF_SLEEP;
        affect_join(victim, &af, FALSE, FALSE);
        if (GET_POS(victim)>POSITION_SLEEPING) {
          act("You feel very sleepy ..... zzzzzz",FALSE,victim,0,0,TO_CHAR);
          act("$n goes to sleep.",TRUE,victim,0,0,TO_ROOM);
          GET_POS(victim)=POSITION_SLEEPING;
        }
      } else
        send_to_char("Nope.  Sorry... Try again.....\n\r",ch);

Usage:  cast 'sleep' <victim>
sing 'sleep' <victim>

Because the sleep spell has a duration, use the bard song SUGGEST to put guards and other pesky aggro mobs to sleep infinitely.
