Snooze: Difference between revisions

'''Snooze''' (Originally localized as [[Sleep]]) is a recurring spell in the {{DQSeries}}. The spell targets a group of enemies and attempts to lull them into a sorcerous slumber for 1~4 turns. Unless the enemy has a resistance, the spell will always be successful when cast.

Snooze is learned by the {{Hero 1}} at Level 7. It costs 2 {{MP}} to cast. A snoozing enemy will always sleep for at least one turn, and have a 1/3 chance of waking up each subsequent turn. Like with other spells in the original title, Snooze uses a resistance table based on 16; I.E. 1 in 16 to hit, 2 in 16, and so on. Due to the way the game's calculations are programmed, no enemies are fully immune to Snooze, with its odds of working bottoming out at 1/16.

The enemies [[Legerdeman]], [[Spitegeist]], [[Hocus chimaera]], [[Knight aberrant]], and [[Dread dragon]] can use this spell against the player. Enemy Snooze spells will never fail to put the Hero to sleep. While asleep, the Hero has a 50/50 chance of waking up each turn. Due to the way the game's random number generation is programmed, the Hero will never sleep for longer than 6 turns at a time.

Snooze is learned by The [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] at Level 2. Magic in {{II}} utilizes a resistance table based on 8 instead of 16.

Snooze is learned by The {{Hero 4}} at Level 16, and by [[Priest]]s & [[Sage]]s at Level 9. {{III}} set the standard for magical resistances, introducing the familiar ''100%, 75%, 25%, 0%'' accuracy ranges now familiar to players.

Snooze is learned by {{Jessica}} at Level 12 and can be cast for 3 {{MP}}.

Snooze is learned by [[Armamentalist]]s at level 8 and [[Priest]]s at Level 6, costing 3 {{MP}} to cast with a 50% base accuracy. The chance of success will begin to rise once the caster's {{Magical Might}} surpasses 50 points, capping at 100% when the value reaches 999.

The {{Luminary}} will learn the spell at Level 16, and [[Rab]] at Level 23.

Called Sleep in this game, this ability can be learned by a variety of monsters. It requires the monster to reach at least Level 4 with at least 24 {{MP}} and 16 {{Intelligence}}. It grows into [[Kasnooze|SleepAll]] when the monster reaches level 11 with at least 52 {{MP}} and 46 {{Intelligence}}. It is naturally learned the [[Spiked hare|Almiraj]], [[Damned ram|DarkHorn]], [[Dracky]], [[Quack up|DuckKite]], [[Urnexpected|EvilPot]], [[Bad apple|Gulpple]], [[Scissor beatle|StagBug]], [[Stump chump|Stubsuck]] and [[Chimaera|Wyvern]].

Snooze is known naturally by [[Blizzybody]], [[Drackyma]], [[Grimlin]], [[Knight Aberrant]], [[Peeper]], [[Slimeshroom]], [[Spiked hare]], [[Spitegeist]], and [[Jarvis]] at Level 1. It costs 8 {{MP}} to cast, has a range of 3 squares away from the caster in any direction, and has a chance to put a single enemy to {{Sleep}}.
