Obscuring Mist creates a dense, otherworldly fog that severely limits visibility. Creatures within the mist have their vision reduced to 5 feet, and all ranged attacks suffer severe penalties. The mist is thick enough to provide concealment against most forms of normal sight, making creatures within harder to target effectively.
Moving Through Mist
- Characters in the mist must move at half speed or risk falling prone
- The mist is damp and cold, potentially affecting certain types of equipment or materials
- Tracking through the mist is extremely difficult, requiring specialized skills or magic
Countering Obscuring Mist
- Wind Effects
- Natural or magical wind of sufficient strength can disperse the mist
- Powerful wind spells automatically dispel areas of Obscuring Mist
- Sustained winds gradually thin and eventually disperse the effect
- Extreme Heat
- Fire spells of equal or higher level can evaporate sections of the mist
- Areas of intense heat cause the mist to rise and dissipate
