Description¶
This spell generates a billowing cloud of ghastly, yellowish-green vapor that is so toxic as to instantly slay any creature with fewer than 4+1 Hit Dice and cause creatures with 4+1 to 6 Hit Dice to roll saving throws vs. poison with –4 penalty or be slain. Holding one’s breath has no effect on the lethality of the spell. Those above 6th level (or 6 Hit Dice) must leave the cloud immediately or suffer 1d10 points of poison damage each round while in the area of effect.
Be wary of casting this lethal spell on a windy day!
