![]() ![]() It simply tell you it creates a cloud of some sort of fog of a certain size, and that it moves 10ft per round away from where the caster cast it.Īs for the gust of wind. In fact the cloud moves on it's own, and nothing in the spell tells you about a limited area in can exist it. It's not like there are walls around the fog that prevent it from moving outside of. Some related questions that can use answering:Īrgument 2 is definitely wrong, as the fog spells doesn't have a defined area that they are only allowed to exist in or are bounded by. ![]() I understand that this has the potential to be a gray area of the rules, so I would value both hard facts and opinions, as long as those opinions are couched upon the basis of some measure of logic, rather than "I would do this because I feel like it." :) My goal here is to make a ruling that is both as fair and as logical as possible, while being consistent and supported by the ruleset to as great a degree as is feasible. As a result, wind blowing inside the fog will move the fog around, but since the fog cannot leave the area, not even a gap will occur within the fog due to the wind.Īny insight people can give me on this would be appreciated. The wind effect is incapable of moving the fog effect outside the fog's area, because the spell explicitly defines dimensions for the created fog. xDĪrgument 2: The wind has zero effect whatsoever, because the fog effect can exist only in the area specified by the spell. Thus, full dispersion of the could would not occur, since the areas around the column are actually unmoving. The primary evidence in support of this argument is the fact that a gust of wind "must" have a sheathe around the wind column that prevents the wind from affecting cloud in any area but its five-foot wide line, since creatures literally adjacent to the line but not in it are completely unaffected by wind, and fluid dynamics states that this could not be the case. In the case of cloudkill, this would mean there would be no effect AT ALL because the fog cloud's movement would then roll the fog through an area and erase the erasure of fog. That is, a line of fog would cease to exist, but the fog as a whole would still be there. The primary arguments against this are as follows:Īrgument 1: The wind should only affect the area in which it is present. That is, gust of wind shredded and dispersed most fog/mist (I'm going to just say fog from now on) effects in a single round, no questions asked, per the line that reads "A moderate wind (11+ mph) disperses the fog in 4 rounds a strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the fog in 1 round." And by this I mean that it dispersed (which I define to mean "removed from existence for the purposes of this combat") the entire fog bank. * My long-time belief in how the spell worked was that wind spells were largely the counter to fog spells.
