Description

This spell generates a bank of fog, similar to a Fog Cloud (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell), except that its vapors are yellowish green and poisonous. These vapors inflict (Circle 4 damage): 1d6+1 points of damage per character level (max 12d6+12 at character level 12) of poison (physical, 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 poison damage. Any creature which ends its movement within the cloud gains the Burned condition, again inflicting poison 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 fog.

-| Description = This spell generates a bank of fog, similar to a [[Fog Cloud (Spell)]], except that its vapors are yellowish green and poisonous. These vapors automatically kill any living creature with 3 or fewer [[HD]] (no save). A living creature with 4 to 6 HD is slain unless it succeeds on a [[FORT]] save (in which case it takes 1d4 points of [[Constitution damage]] on your turn each round while in the cloud).
+| Description = This spell generates a bank of fog, similar to a [[Fog Cloud (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell)]], except that its vapors are yellowish green and poisonous. These vapors inflict {{circle|4}} of {{dmg|poison}} 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 poison damage. Any creature which ends its movement within the cloud gains the [[Burned]] condition, again inflicting poison damage.
-: A living creature with 6 or more HD takes 1d4 points of Constitution damage on your turn each round while in the cloud (a successful FORT save halves this damage). Holding one's breath doesn't help, but creatures [[immune]] to [[poison]] are unaffected by the spell.
-: Unlike a [[Fog Cloud (Spell)]], the ''Cloudkill'' moves away from you at 10 feet per round, rolling along the surface of the ground.
-: 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.
+: 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.
-: Because the vapors are heavier than air, they sink to the lowest level of the land, even pouring down den or sinkhole openings. It cannot penetrate liquids, nor can it be cast underwater.
+: 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.
-:'''NOTE:''' The effects created by this spell do not move with a ship.
+: Dispersing Spells include {{Spell-Type|Dispersing}}, and any other effects the GM rules as dispersing gases, fogs, mists, etc.
