[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8820237, member: 57383"] Yes, I dithered about making it 60 foot radius instead of 40 ft., like a 3rd-level slot [I]fog cloud[/I]. Also wondered about adding the "The cloud moves 10 feet directly away from you in a direction that you choose at the start of each of your turns" of the [I]incendiary cloud[/I] spell just to make it a bit less static. Or maybe have it cost a legendary action to move? Oh, and I'm thinking we should limit it to one cloud at a time so the battlefield isn't covered with the things. Like so: [INDENT][I][B]Smoke Cloud (Costs 2 Actions) #2.[/B][/I] The fire archoelemental exhales a 60-foot-radius sphere of smoke and embers centered on a point within 40 feet of itself. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. It lasts for 1 minute or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it[COLOR=red]; the cloud moves 10 feet away from the archoelemental in a direction it chooses at the start of each of its turns[/COLOR]. When the cloud appears, any creature in it must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or violently cough and choke for 1 round, gaining disadvantage on ability checks.
