* When the glyph is triggered, those affected by it each rolls a [[File:Save Throw Icons.png|frameless|upright=0.1|link=]] [[Dexterity]] [[Saving Throw]]. If a creature successfully saves, they only take half the damage for the damaging variants of this spell, and suffers no ill effect for the non-damaging variants. | |||
* Only those considered an enemy can trigger the glyph, for the player's party this is indicated via a red circle beneath the creature, red outlines when highlighted, and denoted by a red dot in the minimap. Neutral, friendly, and allied creatures (highlighted yellow/green/blue respectively) can safely go through the glyph. | |||
** This makes using the glyph as a trap difficult for many encounters. Specifically, those that normally only consider creatures hostile after dialogue. | |||
* When the glyph is triggered everyone within the area is affected, regardless of allegiance. | |||
* When the spellcaster is surrounded by enemies, sometimes it is worth throwing the glyph down right at their feet. This is true for most AOE spells but it is especially so for the sleep variant of Glyph of Warding: | |||
** The Shared Initiative system means an ally can immediately shove/help the spellcaster awake should they fall asleep due to their own glyph. | |||
** Magical Sleep Immunity is fairly common, either from an [[Elixir of Peerless Focus]] or from [[Fey Ancestry]] | |||
*** [[Shadowheart]], being a half-elf cleric, can naturally utilize this tactic starting from level 5. | |||
