<pre>Level: 5 Components: V, S Range: I&quot; Duration: 1 round/level Area of Effect: 4&quot; wide, 2&quot; high, Casting Time: 5 segments Saving Throw: None 2&quot;deep cloud Explanation/Description: This spell generates a billowing cloud of ghastly yellowish green vapors which is so toxic as to slay any creature with fewer than 4 + 1 hit dice, cause creatures with 4 + 1 to 5 + 1 hit dice to save versus poison at -4 on the dice roll, and creatures up to 6 hit dice (inclusive) to save verus poison normally or be slain by the cloud. The cloudkill moves away from the spell caster at 1&quot; per round, rolling along the surface of the ground. A wind will cause it to alter course, but it will not move back towards its caster. A strong wind will break it up in 4 rounds, and a greater wind force prevents the use of the spell. Very thick vegetation will disperse the cloud in two rounds, i.e. moving through such vegetation for 2&quot;. As the vapors are heavier than air, they will sink to the lowest level of the land, even pour down den or sinkhole openings; thus, it is ideal for slaying nests of giant ants, for example.</pre>
