Description: A billowing cloud of noxious vapors settles over the area. Its effects vary according to the hit dice of the affected creatures:
| hit dice | effects |
|---|---|
| 1-3 | instant death |
| 4-6 | fortitude save or death |
| 7+ | 1d10 acid damage/round |
Notes[]
- Creatures that enter the cloud will suffer 1d10 acid damage and a 50% movement speed decrease. (For targets with less than 7 hit dice, a simple fortitude save—not versus death—negates the speed decrease.)
- Creatures that block the death effect (from immunity to death magic) will not suffer the movement speed decrease nor the initial acid damage. This is likely an oversight.
- The per round acid damage is rolled once each round, not once per target, and it applies regardless of hit dice.
