Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 3134474" data-attributes="member: 2525">The SRD text:and for additional reference, the Fog Cloud spell text:Question 1: How long does the smoke last, assuming the conditions are such that there's bad ventillation (like a room in a dungeon)?The Smokestick text says it "The stick is consumed after 1 round, and the smoke dissipates naturally." and also says "a moderate or stronger wind dissipates the smoke in 1 round".  This seems to imply to me that, while the stick is consumed in one round, "disipat[ing] naturally" takes longer than one round unless there is a moderate or stronger wind.  So, how long does the smoke last?Question 2: Sneak Attacks and Cover from a SmokestickAssume you are a rogue that lights a smokestick, creating a 10-foot area of smoke that provides cover.  Can this smoke be used to create an easier opportunity to make a sneak attack? And if so, how?For example, your target is one square outside the area of smoke.  You stand 10 feet away from your target (in the smoke), which puts enough smoke between you and your target to provide total concealment.  You hide.  You then hide and move silently 5 feet closer, putting you next to your target but still in the area of the smoke, and attack the target.  Can you get a sneak attack this way? Question 3: Can spring attack be used with a smokestick's cover (assuming the smoke lasts more than one round) to gain sneak attacks in multiple rounds?  And if so, how?For example if you had spring attack, could you move while hiding, attack with a sneak attack, and then move back 5 feet again and regain total concealment for yet another hide-move-sneak-attack next round (assumig the target stays where they are)?Question 4: What are some creative ways people have used SmokeSticks in their games?</blockquote>
