Air Bridge
Transmutation [Air]
Level: Sorcerer/Wizard 2, Druid 2
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Short (50, + 5’ per level)
Target: Creates semi-transparent bridge of air
Duration: 1 minute/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
"Raising your hand and wiggling your fingers in a walking motion, you watch as the air thickens and forms a passable bridge over the chasm in front of you."
When cast, you create a 6 inch thick bridge of thickened air. The thickened air becomes semi-transparent, so onlookers can see its shimmering form. Once in place, the bridge cannot be moved by the caster.
The bridge can be a maximum of 10' + 1'/caster level wide and 20' + 10'/caster level long, and must be anchored on at least one end (merely touching a solid surface suffices as an anchor). The maximum upward or downward angle of the bridge is 45 degrees. The bridge can sustain any creature or object of up to 300lbs + 50lbs/level. Any individual creature or object that exceeds this weight limit sinks through the thickened air and falls.
A Gust of Wind or stronger magics acting directly against the bridge act as a Dispel Magic against the bridge. The bridge cannot be cast in an area where natural wind speeds are already at Gust of Wind speeds or higher (sustained 50mph).
Does the bridge act as cover/concealment against ranged or melee attacks?
What are the bridge's hardness and hp? Is it immune/vulnerable to any particular attacks? Remember that even high-level magical walls now have limited stats.
Since only one end of the bridge has to be anchored, I think it would be neat if you could "chain" bridges with each bridge being anchored to the last one. If this works (or doesn't), you might want to mention it in the description.
Didnt consider cover/concealment. Guess its logical (from underneath).
No hardness/HP, its just thickened air. Its vulnerbale to air based "attacks" as mentioned, otherwise, no. That said, I will have to read through the other Wall spells more closely, I am still relatively noobish to Pathfinder (stuck in the 3e/3.5 mindset).
Yes, you could chain them, the end of one bridge would be considered an anchor. You are right, it should specifically state that.
Good feedback, thanks.
I think that to balance it as a low-level effect, it would be reasonable if it offered no cover/concealment and can be moved "through" with no penalty or a low strength check.
