I'm making a new character for PFS and have a concept I'm trying to fine-tune. My general approach to organized play characters is to avoid grey rule areas unless I'm willing to put up with the most conservative ruling I might see.
I have a boon for playing a sylph, and am trying to find a way to make a ranged rogue concept work by using the Cloud Gazer feat: "Benefit: You can see through fog, mist, and clouds, without penalty, ignoring any cover or concealment bonuses from such effects. If the effect is created by magic, this feat instead triples the distance you can see without penalty."
The idea is to use the one-directional concealment from fog, mist, and clouds to sneak attack at range. My first thought was to make use of obscuring mist to control the presence of concealment, but it looks like the clause about magically created effects would just mean, at best, 15' of 20% concealment, and concealment kills sneak attack.
So, it looks like I need a source of fog, mist, or cloud that is non-magical, or a magical source which has a distance that has 0% concealment. Other than the rare situation of being in a fog bank, any ideas on a resource that would grant what I'm looking for? A Conjuration (creation) spell with instantaneous duration would do the job as well for educated GMs, but would likely still see some table variation.
Any other thoughts on how else to pimp out my sylph?
So it's a harder to use version of the Oracle revelation, Water Sight.
Before you spend too much effort into making this work, think of how this will affect the party. Will they have fun fighting in mist? If the answer is yes, then it could be worth pursuing further.
