		+	If the watch is produced during a battle, then the watch can serve as an obstacle for the enemy to move about; if an enemy enters the area's effect, however, the watch cannot attack until the caster's round, as it acts within the turn-based combat system as an [[Follower\|ally]] of the party. The watch will be given an attack, however, against any enemy creature attempting to move fully through the watch during it's round, regardless, as an "opportunity attack," if and when the situation arises.

-'''Wyvern Watch''' is a spell that summons an insubstantial, [[Wyvern|dragon]]-like form. This form will aggressively attack any target designated as "other" by the caster within a 15-foot-diameter area (equivalent to seven [[Combat Hex|combat hexes]]). The area is roughly large enough to contain seven individuals along with the standard equipment they carry.
