Is just restraining a creature (something you can do without magic) worth your 6th level slot? If you don’t think so, then you shouldn’t be casting Flesh to Stone, as the likelihood of it petrifying a creature is laughable, and probably worse than just killing it.Ĭonsider that in order for the spell to do anything at all, the target first has to fail a con save. In the hands of a player character, it is the hottest of hot garbage.įor those curious, the restrained condition reduces the affected’s speed to 0, prevents them from gaining speed, grants attack rolls made against them advantage, and imposes disadvantage on their attack rolls and their dexterity saving throws. Review by Samuel West, Twitter: Flesh to Stone lets me be like Medusa! I think I’ll take this spell, and I’m sure it’ll be so cool when it works, I can have my own statue garden of the evil guys!” - Timmy the new player, before never once successfully petrifying a creature in the remaining twenty sessions of his campaign.įlesh to Stone exists as a spell for DMs to fairly eventually petrify players. If you maintain your concentration on this spell for the entire possible duration, the creature is turned to stone until the effect is removed. If the creature is physically broken while petrified, it suffers from similar deformities if it reverts to its original state. The successes and failures don’t need to be consecutive keep track of both until the target collects three of a kind. If it fails its 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. A creature restrained by this spell must make another Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns.

On a successful save, the creature isn’t affected. On a failed save, it is restrained as its flesh begins to harden. If the target’s body is made of flesh, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw. You attempt to turn one creature that you can see within range into stone.
