 '''Fog Cloud''' is a spell that creates a large circle of misty vapour that covers much more area than the [[Wall of Fog (spell)|wall of fog]] spell, though it occurs in a single mass. Like its 1st level predecessor, it also limits visibility within the affected area, including [[Infravision|infravision]] and [[Ultravision (spell)|ultravision]]. The fog may be created anywhere, over land or water, passing through the middle of buildings or along a corridor, as high or as deep as the caster wishes within their ability.

 In any hex adjacent to the fog cloud, visibility equals one hex when looking into the fog.

-The fog is completely harmless, though creatures with an [[Intelligence (ability stat)|intelligence]] of less than 4 will "go to ground" in it.

+The fog is completely harmless, though creatures with an [[Intelligence (ability stat)|intelligence]] of less than 4 will instinctively go to ground within it, remaining still or seeking cover rather than attempting to move through the obscured space. When the spell’s duration comes to an end, the vapour does not vanish at once but thins gradually, requiring five complete rounds to evaporate. During this time, visibility improves steadily, extending by one [[Combat Hex|hex]] each round, until the cloud has fully dissipated and normal sight is restored across the affected area.
