This seems like OVERKILL in this campaign, does the daylight spell actually do the full damage as indicated in Monster Manual: “Sunlight Hypersensitivity. The vampire takes 20 radiant damage when it starts its turn in sunlight. While in sunlight, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.”
Does daylight work against Strahd?
It specifies directly that the light created by the spell is considered to be sunlight. Strahd and his vampire spawn might find the sudden bright daylight annoying for a second, but other than that, it shouldn’t bother them too much.
Is Daylight the same as sunlight 5e?
2 Answers. The Daylight spell, unfortunately, does not count as Sunlight.
Why is Daylight not sunlight 5e?
The daylight spell doesn’t create sunlight. Contrast it to the cleric’s Corona of Light and the sun blade. #DnD. @JeremyECrawford Does the spell daylight create sunlight for purposes of vampires & drow or is dawnbringer just special?
Does sunlight hurt Strahd?
Rules as Written, Strahd (CoS, p. 239) won’t take any damage from moving through sunlight as a legendary action. He also won’t take damage from moving through an area of sunlight during his turn.
Is there such a thing as a daylight spell?
It’s not impossible for a spell to exist that does explicitly create light that is equivalent to sunlight, but daylight isn’t that spell. Think of daylight as a magical lamp with a steady, bright light, rather than sphere of sunlight.

Which is the correct definition of direct sunlight?
Direct sunlight is in reference to bright light created by the sun or a spell that specifically calls out sunlight (Dawn, Sunbeam, etc.). Bright light lets most creatures see normally. Even gloomy days provide bright light, as do torches, lanterns, fires, and other sources of illumination within a specific radius.
Is there penalty to save from daylight spell?
Furthermore, as previously mentioned, Daylight is not a sunlight effect. The penalty to saves is thus not from a spell that creates sunlight, and the clause mentioned is not applicable. Of course, the penalty doesn’t apply in merely “bright light”, only sunlight.
