What happens when a Clodkill hits a Wall of Fire?


Rules Questions


I am currently ruling the clodkill pools up against it. But I can see running right through it too. Opinions?

I think it will simply pass through the wall of fire since it is not physical and fire seems to have no special effect on the kill cloud


I concur. By RAW, the cloud is immaterial and not affected by fire damage and the wall isn't affected by the cloud. As far as houserules go, you could say that the side of the wall that emits heat could evaporate the cloud if it hits head-on or possibly deflect its path if it hits at an angle. Considering the Cloudkill spell is explicitly stated to behave like the Fog spell, you can presume that it's at least partially a water-based cloud so you could say that the more powerful of the two will overcome the other (stronger firewall will evaporate the cloud while stronger cloud will have enough water content to extinguish part of the wall).

There should totally be a spell called Clodkill. Only works on low-INT targets.


i love it - typo makes new spell!


Make it a will save instead of fort save. Bam, Clodkill. Now we just need one for reflex saves and we've got a set. What's a one-syllable word beginning with 'C' that means "clumsy person"?


Clutzkill? It's supposed to be a K, though, I know ..

My first instinct would be that the gases of the Cloudkill might react poorly to the fire-- perhaps exploding like methane? I can't see anything in Cloudkill's description saying what happens when it hits fire.


My first glance caused me to read it as "Codkill". Take that as you will.

They keep dropping letters!

There must be a curse on the word Codill!

Run while you still can!

Oh, also, flaming Cloudkill heading towards the targets.

Do eet.

Roll a d100.

On a result of 100 Cloudkill gas explodes.

Everything inside area of Cloudkill takes damage as per Fireball, backdraft snuffs out Wall of Fire.
