Question: How God-modish would it be to be able to put characters to sleep? Because several RPers seem not to like the idea.

Well, honestly, it depends HOW you're putting them to sleep. If you simply use a Word of God-esque technique to simply order everyone within the sound of your voice to sleep, then yes, that's God-modish.

But, heck, in something as mainstream as D&D, Sleep is a relatively low-level spell, and the victims usually wake up if disturbed. It can usually be contested by a contest of will, but generally, I would use certain factors, like how fatigued the victim is, their race (Elves don't sleep according to some. Neither does Chuck Norris for completely different reasons), current stimuli (a quiet mountain dojo would be more serene than the roar of ten thousand spectators), etc.

If people can't RP properly to allow sleep effects to be permitted, then its their fault, not yours. Because I'll be darned if I ever consider getting hit with a sleep spell to be more broken than getting hit by a fireball spell.

[EDIT] - Based on what Ms. Pocket said, I'll also suggest this as well: Let the targets decide for themselves. If they somehow see themselves above the need for sleep, then so be it. Let that speak for them, not for you.

Well, it's part of a three-part special technique of my character's. The preliminary step, putting them to sleep, takes four posts in itself so as to even the outcome. It's a necessary action, because my character continues on to search for fear-inspiring components within their memories, which run wild in this trance, and then brings them to life...
