Description

You create a hideous gray cloud, similar to Fog Cloud (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell), that occasionally crackles with foul-smelling bolts of sickly green lightning. These vapors inflict (Circle 5 damage): 1d6+1 points of damage per character level (max 15d6+15 at character level 15) of necrotic (energy, uncommon) damage when the spell is cast. The cloud persists until the end of the encounter, or is dispersed, dispelled, or otherwise removed. Any creature which passes through a square or more of the cloud suffers the Singed condition, inflicting Necrotic damage. Any creature which ends its movement within the cloud gains the Burned condition, again inflicting Necrotic damage.

A moderate wind (11+ mph) disperses and dispels the effect in 2 rounds; a strong wind (21+ mph) disperses and dispels the effect in 1 round. The spell effect cannot penetrate liquids, nor can it be cast underwater or in other fluids. Other Environmental Effects may disperse or enhance it at the GM's discretion.

This spell is subject to dispersal by Dispersing spells. Dispersing spells contain vigorous winds, fresh air, air currents, or other effects. Squares of this spells effect which intersect with a Dispersing Spell's squares of effect are dispelled, but all other squares remain. GM's adjudicate all unusual circumstances.

This spell lays an arcane charge on its target(s). If the targets are something other than you or another creature (such as an object or area), the spell lays an arcane charge on you, the caster. Targets which already have an arcane charge present must choose which to keep if the new spell has the same charge type. Only one arcane charge can ever be present on a target at a time.

The charge this spell lays affects the caster, not the creatures in the cloud.

-| Description = You create a hideous gray cloud, similar to [[Fog Cloud (Spell)]], that occasionally crackles with foul-smelling bolts of sickly green lightning. Creatures in the area must save or contract one of the following diseases: [[blinding sickness]], [[bubonic plague]], [[cackle fever]], [[demon fever]], [[devil chills]], [[filth fever]], [[leprosy]], [[mindfire]], [[red ache]], [[shakes]], or [[slimy doom]] (the disease is chosen by you when you cast the spell and applies to all creatures that fail the save). The disease is contracted immediately (the onset period does not apply) and is an instantaneous effect. Use the disease's listed frequency to determine further effects, but the disease's save DC increases by +2. For more information see the [[Disease]]s section.
+| Description = You create a hideous gray cloud, similar to [[Fog Cloud (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell)]], that occasionally crackles with foul-smelling bolts of sickly green lightning. These vapors inflict {{circle|5}} of {{dmg|necrotic}} damage when the spell is cast. The cloud persists until the end of the encounter, or is dispersed, dispelled, or otherwise removed.  Any creature which passes through a square or more of the cloud suffers the [[Singed]] condition, inflicting Necrotic damage. Any creature which ends its movement within the cloud gains the [[Burned]] condition, again inflicting Necrotic damage.
-: Unlike a Fog Cloud, the ''Plague Storm'' moves away from you at 10 feet per round, rolling along the surface of the ground.
+: A [[Environmental_Effects#Winds |moderate wind]] (11+ mph) disperses and dispels the effect in 2 rounds; a strong wind (21+ mph) disperses and dispels the effect in 1 round. The spell effect cannot penetrate liquids, nor can it be cast underwater or in other fluids. Other [[Environmental Effects]] may disperse or enhance it at the GM's discretion.
-: Figure out the cloud's new spread each round based on its new point of origin, which is 10 feet farther away from the point of origin where you cast the spell.
+: This spell is subject to dispersal by Dispersing spells. Dispersing spells contain vigorous winds, fresh air, air currents, or other effects. Squares of this spells effect which intersect with a Dispersing Spell's squares of effect are dispelled, but all other squares remain. GM's adjudicate all unusual circumstances.
-: Because the vapors are heavier than air, they sink to the lowest level of the terrain, even pouring down den or sinkhole openings. The cloud cannot penetrate liquids, nor can it be cast underwater.
+: Dispersing Spells include {{Spell-Type|Dispersing}}, and any other effects the GM rules as dispersing gases, fogs, mists, etc.
