Snap (cantrip)
_b.jpg)
Snap is a cantrip that produces a startling, sharp sound that affects up to three designated creatures within 30 ft. of the caster. Provided these creatures have an intelligence of 1 or greater, their full attention is seized instantly and held just long enough to spoil their attacks that round. Each is entitled to a saving throw.

The cantrip cannot affect more than the number of hit dice or levels than the caster possesses. Therefore, a 5th level caster couldn't affect a 6 hit dice monster, nor even three levelled persons — remembering that a 1st levelled character counts as having "two" hit dice, one for their level and one for their body mass. This limitation takes into account that the dweomer is only a cantrip, and therefore shouldn't be viewed as especially powerful.
