Description

This spell creates a severe blast of air that originates from you, and passes through all enemies in its path. Creatures of different sizes suffer diferent effects:

  • Small or tiny enemies must make a Strength check or Dexterity check (whichever is higher) against a DC equal to 12+your casting Ability's modifier or be knocked prone for 5 seconds.
  • Medium enemies are slowed (50%) by the winds for 9 seconds on a failed save.
  • Large or larger enemies are unaffected.
  • Clears away all lingering effects in its path (even friendly/useful ones), such as Cloudkill, Otto's Sphere of Dancing and Wall of Fire.

  • Red and purple named creatures regardless of size are immune to this spell.
Bugs
  • Bug: Small creatures who shouldn't get a save versus the knockdown do.
  • Bug: Small enemies suffer no ill effects if they save versus the knockdown.
