As hypnotic pattern except that a somnolent pattern renders its targets unconscious. The bright, shifting patterns of light created by a somnolent pattern cause creatures to fall into a deep sleep, similar to the effects of a sleep spell, except that nothing can awaken the affected creatures until the spell ends. Hitting or wounding an affected creature will not awaken it. Roll (2d6 + 1 per caster level) to determine the total number of Hit Dice affected (maximum +20). The creatures within the area of effect that have the fewest Hit Dice are affected by the spell first. Creatures possessing equal Hit Dice are affected in their order of proximity to the spell's caster, beginning with the creature closest to the caster. Sightless creatures are not affected by this spell, nor are creatures that do not sleep.
