Rarity has nothing to do with specificity. You woudn't say that a panda is a more specific animal than a racoon, for example, just because it's rarer. | |

| Nov 6, 2018 at 21:17 | comment | added | Tezra | I think "spells do what they say they do" should mean spell trumps non-magic. Otherwise, this is like saying I can't cast fly on a target with clipped wings because the effect of clipped wings is "the creature can no longer fly". | |

| Nov 6, 2018 at 13:49 | comment | added | XAQT78 | The “intent” of the Sculpt Spell is to control the area of effect from the spell to spare an ally from most of the damage. As well as the Xanathar reference and Slagmoth comment are compelling enough to save your barbarian. | |
| Nov 6, 2018 at 13:26 | comment | added | Slagmoth | Specificity would agree with you... most creatures can have the condition of Paralysis placed upon them but much fewer, in theory, would be able to use Sculpt Spell. Specific beats general. | |
