::<sup>1</sup> Physical actions are any action that requires a physical component that can be disrupted by high winds. These are separated into 'careful' and 'powerful' actions. Examples of careful actions include ranged weapon attacks, physical skills such as pickpocket, pick lock, sleight of hand, casting a spell with a verbal or somatic component, etc. Powerful actions include siege weapon attacks, massive ranged weapon attacks, physical skills such as might, movement, or acrobatics, casting a spell with a material-only component, etc. | ::<sup>1</sup> Physical actions are any action that requires a physical component that can be disrupted by high winds.

IE, a Small creature in a hurricane suffers 3 squares of Push each round. They may fall Prone to negate this movement if they wish, and can resist with forced movement resistance. | ||
:: | ::<sup>4</sup> In order to use any move type that exposes you to the wind you must first make a movement skill check against an Average DC for your level, with the first penalty displayed. If you use a move type that moves you away from a solid surface (Vaulting, Hover, Flight, Teleport, Brachiating, etc) you suffer the second penalty displayed. Failure of this check means you cannot use a Move action to move this round. If you use a form of movement that shields you from the wind (burrow, swim, etc), then you do not need to make this check. | ||
