[RPG] Can Skeletons be put to sleep

dnd-5espellsundead

There seems to be some debate over whether or not Skeletons can be put to sleep by way of the Sleep spell in 5e.

Can they or not?

Best Answer

No

This limitation is defined in the spell description:

Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren’t affected by this spell.

Skeletons are undead, therefore they cannot be put to sleep using the sleep spell.
