When a stinking cloud is cast, the wizard creates a billowing mass of nauseous vapors up to (rank x 10) feet away from his position. Any creature caught within the cloud must roll a successful saving throw (Normal Save) or be reeling and unable to attack because of nausea for 1d4+1 rounds after leaving the cloud. Those who make successful saving throws can leave the cloud without suffering any ill effects, although those remaining in the cloud must continue to save each round. These poisonous effects can be slowed or neutralized by appropriate magic. The cloud duration is halved in a moderate breeze (8-18 m.p.h.) and is dispersed in one round by a stronger breeze.
The area of effect of the cloud is a 10 foot cube, but this increases by 1 foot per rank (15 ft cube at rank 5, 20 ft cube at rank 20, etc.). |
