Grease. Did we get the DC right ?


Rules Questions

No Feather is a Kinetisist and he has slick which says to use the stats for grease. It says that the DC for not slipping at half speed is 10. What is the Dc for slipping at full speed.

DM1 says it is equal to the spell casters dc to negate the effects of the spell. Which would be Dc 16

DM 2 says is the value of slick surface which is Dc15

The difference is negligible. I agree with DM 2 but hope DM 1 is correct because the DC will do up as I go up.


There is no DC to move full speed. It's like rough terrain, so you move at half speed no matter what, but it's actually even worse because you have to make a check just to move slowly.

I could be wrong, but I believe that the answer is that you cannot move at full speed through grease, regardless of the DC. The spell stipulates only half speed with the acrobatics check.

This is correct. Forced half-speed is the reason Grease is one of the best level 1 spells at higher levels.


Yeah, grease causes you to be unable to move at full speed.

Your option is half speed with a DC 10 acrobatics or fall prone or don't move.

The spells actually never says it's difficult terrain.

Thanks you. Different than all three DMs but there seems to be a consensus.
