Basically,in the case of Flesh to Stone anyway, counters are going to be similar to counters for Disintegrate. Other defenses include spells like Spell Resistance (not perfect, but at least it cuts the odds down). When a creature is unable to act due to the slowed condition from flesh to stone, the creature is permanently non-magically petrified.

One defense is to make your body something other than flesh (ie Statue or Iron Body), since Flesh to Stone, obviously, requires the target to be flesh. Which spell level do I pick for random loot It’s determined by a Random Treasure table and the encounter’s challenge rating. Most people mention gaze attacks, but lets not forget Flesh to Stone (which will proably have a much higher DC and can't be avoided by closing ones eyes). A player (or NPC) could quite easily develop a spell that did protect against petrification though (or a contingencied Stone to Flesh type effect). The only thing that comes to mind are the old Protection from Petrification scrolls. If it fails saves three times, it is turned to stone and subjected to the petrified condition for the duration. If it successfully saves against this spell three times, the spell ends. Period.įor the record there isn't any spell that protects against petrification that I can think of. A creature restrained by this spell must make another Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. After being petrified you are no longer alive, you are a piece of rock. Casting FoM on a statue doesn't make it a living thing, same thing applies here. You can't move because your stone, not because your held in any way. ago In 5e, Prismatic Spray and Wall both have a chance to petrify.

Freedom of Movement doesn't protect against petrification. Basilisks are a common one Also Cockatrice, Medusa (and other Gorgons), and the Beholder family has a Petrification beam on one of its Eye Rays. Like, if you use flesh to stone, dimension door, then stone to flesh you've spent an extra 4 actions and 12 spell levels just to squeeze out the benefit of one extra 4th-level spell. Usually there are also consumables (potions/salves/oils) that will remove petrification, however we have not seen any of those yet (we'll likely see them with the DMG though). Greater Restoration as mentioned here, and Wish, the 9th level spell.

Being able to choose 2 cantrips and a 1st-level spell from the full caster classes is a surprisingly beneficial ability. Petrified is a condition, there are currently two spells that remove it. Magic Initiate is a very solid choice for a wide variety of builds. That said though, it's not really gaming the system to bypass a small limitation with a heavy resource cost (and also random chance because there's no form of petrification I know of that doesn't involve a saving throw and there's no rule allowing voluntary failure of saving throws). In our 5e Feats Tier List, Magic Initiate was given an A Tier rating, making it an excellent pickup for specific classes. This system is written to be read as casual language, and it requires a more technical reading to have it count not just creatures and objects but also creature-objects.

Petrify says you're an object so you're an object. For each spell of or higher on the target, make an ability check using your Spellcasting ability. Any spell of 3rd Level or lower on the target ends. Does a petrified creature still also count as a creature? Or can you game the system by petrifying someone, teleporting them along with you, then unpetrifying them? Choose any creature, object, or magical Effect within range.
