dnd-5espellcastingspells

If a creature with Innate Spellcasting tries to use an innate spell against a Rakshasa, how does it interact with their Limited Magic Immunity trait?

Limited Magic Immunity. The rakshasa can't be affected or detected by spells of 6th level or lower unless it wishes to be. It has advantage on saving throws against all other spells and magical effects.

Do innate spells have a level?

Best Answer

Innate Spellcasting uses Base Spell Level

In the monster manual it states this about spells cast with innate spellcasting:

Unless noted otherwise, an innate spell of 1st level or higher is always cast at its lowest possible level and can’t be cast at a higher level

So, unless the spell cast's base level is level 7 or higher, the Rakshasa's ability would affect spells cast using innate casting
