I was told since day 1 that a necromancer sleep spell couldn't hit someone already in melee. Posting on bug board in case this is by design and some secret Scion cabal perk.



A Nightwalker stands in the shadows, breathing heavily.
The Nightwalker yells 'Daomen! Now you die!'
You dodge the Nightwalker's claw.
The Nightwalker is in perfect health.

You begin planning a retreat.
The Nightwalker is in perfect health.

Ghavoul has arrived.
A flesh golem has arrived.

You yell 'Die, Ghavoul, you sorcerous dog!'
Ghavoul utters the words, 'grzzs'.

The Nightwalker is in perfect health.

You can't see anything, you're sleeping!

You yell 'Help someone is attacking me!

The reason it's not very good is that if you are fighting you'll get woken up on the next hit, which is usually quick.
