Create pit and huge creatures


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


2 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

So the create pit spell creates a 10 x 10 ft. pit.
If created under a creature, that creature must succeed a Reflex save or fall in.
What if the creature is huge size? Do they automatically succeed? Do they get a bonus to the save?

Cheers!


I believe they just ignore the pit


Huge creatures can fit through a 10'x10' opening.

Just apply squeezing rules.

GM Descretion IMO.

I think the entire create pit line of spells, much like most conjuration(creation) spells, are lame, so in the games I GM, creatures bigger than the pit just ignore the pit.


But remember, a huge creature doesn't actually take up the whole 15ft space. Just like you and I don't take up our whole 5ft space. If someone created a 5ft diameter hole under me, even with my high dexterity, I'm not sure I'd avoid it. Or even a 2.5ft. hole. It would at least leave me prone, one leg awkwardly having slipped into it.
