What It Is

Squeezing covers moving through a space too small for normal movement.

This page is a compact play reference. If a spell, feature, monster, item, or DM ruling gives a more specific instruction, use that specific instruction.

How To Use It

A creature can squeeze through a space large enough for a creature one size smaller than itself.

Limits And Rolls

  • Movement through the cramped space costs extra movement.
  • The squeezing creature has worse attacks and Dexterity saving throws while squeezed.
  • Attack rolls against the squeezing creature are easier.
  • You only roll when the rule, DM, spell, item, or feature asks for a roll.
