A Wand of Cloudkill is a wand that is used to launch a projectile at an area within range of sight of the user. The projectile flies forth to the selected location, and then it bursts out a billowing cloud of toxic gas.
Description[]
| “ | This wand emits a vapor bubble that travels toward the target, exploding into a deadly cloud of noxious gas that expands to fill an area roughly 15 ft. in radius. The cloud will instantly kill any creature with 4 HD or less with no Saving Throw. Any creature within 5 to 6 HD must make a Saving Throw or be slain. Creatures with greater than 6 HD simply take 1d10 damage for every round that they remain within the cloud. The cloud will dissipate after 1d4 turns. | ” |
Gameplay[]
This wand does not actually cast a Cloudkill spell but emulates it. When activated, a charge is consumed and the wand fires a fast-moving projectile (with a speed of zero) to the designated point, which rapidly expands into a billowing cloud lasting 1 turn. All of the wand's effects are set at spell Power level 5. The wand operates as an Invocation Spell School and is "Battleground" secondary type.
Creatures immune to Poison damage or Poison are protected from the wand's effects and will not be disrupted from spell casting (which was a problem in the original game but fixed in a recent version of the Enhanced Edition).
All of the wand's effects can be blocked by magic resistance, but it bypasses Mirror Image. Once deployed, the cloud can't be removed from the area except by a Wing Buffet or Zone of Sweet Air.
