Oracle of flames question


Rules Questions


hi people, i was wondering if the gaze of flames revelation alouds the character to see throught a obscuring mist or a fog cloud, here is the revelation

Gaze of Flames (Su): You can see through fire, fog, and smoke without penalty as long as the light is sufficient to allow you to see normally. At 7th level, you can gaze through any source of flame within 10 feet per oracle level, as if using clairvoyance. You can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to your oracle level, but these rounds do not need to be consecutive.


Yes. As far as I know.

Fog cloud i'd say yes, but no to obscuring mist, because a mist can't be made from a fire.


Uhm, mist = fog, and fog is never made from fire. Fire, however, will burn off fog. Which is why you can use the revellation to see through fog.


I checked before saying yes, and obscuring mist repeatedly describes the effect as a fog. Which Gaze of Flames explicitly affects.


That's an interesting tangent. I thought that Gaze of Flames worked on fog because if you're going to see through solid particles in the air, then you might as well see through liquid ones too -- especially since fire actually creates water vapor. Whereas Water Sight (from the Waves mystery) only works on fog and mist, because it's specific to water.

The Chemistry of Fire

When organic compounds (such as wood and oil) burn, oxygen molecules in the air strip hydrogen atoms off of the fuel's hydrocarbon chains, making carbon and water (H2O). That reaction requires heat, but it also generates heat -- often enough to make more of itself possible. That's why once a fire gets started, it tends to keep on going, as long as there's oxygen and fuel.


awesome, thx
