Effects

  • Hostile creatures will not enter a sanctuary.

  • Spellcasting will not fail due to hindrance from armor.
  • Clerics, Empaths, and Savants can meditate.

Types of sanctuaries

Permanent sanctuaries are set locations that are always safe, except under extraordinary circumstances such as demonic invasions. An example of a permanent sanctuary is Town Square Central in Wehnimer's Landing.

Major sanctuaries are special places of refuge created through the spell Major Sanctuary (220) and separated from the outside world, connected only to a single anchoring room. It is possible for a major sanctuary to fall if the anchor room is in an area with disruptive magics that can counteract sanctuary effects.

Minor sanctuaries are ordinary rooms under the effect of a Minor Sanctuary (213) spell.

Etiquette

Locksmithing activities, especially disarming traps, are generally performed away from sanctuaries, as the possible effects of setting off a trap may require offensive actions to counteract.
