Notes[]
- Added in the expansion packs.
- The duration of the knockdown effect is 3 rounds.
- The "cloudlike" area of effect spells that this spell can disperse are acid fog, cloud of bewilderment, cloudkill, creeping doom, incendiary cloud, mind fog, and stinking cloud.
- This spell is very useful for escaping a horde of pitiful enemies.
Previous versions[]
- Prior to version 1.69, gust of wind dispersed all areas of effect, not just the cloudlike ones. This made it one of the best third level spells, particularly in high-magic settings.
- Prior to version 1.69, auras such battletide and magic circle against alignment were included in the areas of effects that could be dispersed, if this spell targeted the target of those spells.
