Choking Winds

Filed under "To Be Refined Later...probably"

Back during the 2E Pathfinder Playtest I literally dreamed up this idea.  I originally had it on a blog that has since vanished into the aether of the internet, but here's a reprint of sorts.  Just updated a bit from that first draft some months ago.  It still needs work, but here's version 2.0 for now.




Choking Winds   [Spell 3]
[Illusion] [Mental]
Traditions: Occult, Primal
Cast: [2 Actions] Material, Somatic
Range: 30 feet    Target: One Living Creature
Saving Throw: Will     Duration:  Concentration


You cause one creature to believe it is choking on thick clouds of dust.
Critical Success: The target is unaffected.
Success:  The target is Slowed 1 for one round.
Failure:  The target is Slowed 1 for the duration of the spell.
Critical Failure:  The target is Slowed 2 for the duration of the spell.

Heightened (6th) The Slowed condition is increased by 1.



Similar to a rather obvious classic TTRPG spell I should have thought of immediately upon dreaming this up?  Yeah, most likely.  Still feels fun though.
