Is Hold Monster Good?

Overall Rating: Blue. This means that hold monster is a great spell and you should strongly consider this spell for your character.

Overall Notes: Spell that can take a creature out of the fight. Allows for a save after each turn which makes it worse than banishment for consistently keeping a monster out of the fight, but the monster can be attacked with advantage which will make quick work of it after it fails a save or two.
