Description
- This spell creates a severe blast of air laden with painful grit that originates from you, possibly affecting all creatures in its path. All flying creatures in this area take a -4 penalty on Movement checks. All creatures are subjected to (Circle 6 damage): 1d6+2 points of damage per character level (max 16d6+32 at character level 16) of scouring (energy, uncommon) damage, as they are flayed and pummeled by the gusty flow of gritty wind. A save as noted above will lower this damage by half.
- Tiny or smaller flying creatures must make a Movement (Fly) skill check against a Challenging DC for the CR of the caster or suffer a Push to the end of the area of effect (up to nine squares). Small or smaller flying creatures must make a Movement (Fly) skill check against an Average DC for the CR of the caster to avoid the Push.
- Size Medium and smaller creatures on the ground must make an Average DC Movement check against the CR of the caster to avoid being Pushed 1 square.
- Large or larger creatures may move normally within a Scouring Winds effect.
- This spell can't move a creature beyond the limit of its range, but it is permissible to 'edge' opponents diagonally to make them stack up neater.
- The force of the gust automatically extinguishes candles, torches, and similar small, unprotected flames. It causes protected flames, such as those in lanterns, to dance wildly and has a 50% chance to extinguish those lights.
- Other Environmental Effects may disperse or enhance this spell at the GM's discretion, and indeed, this spell is quite susceptible to many Environmental Effects. Using Scouring Winds during a Hurricane is not likely to receive much notice, aside from that initial gritty blast of damage!
- This spell can be used to disperse Obscuring spells. Gases, fogs, and vapors that intersect the squares occupied by this spell are dispersed in those squares.
