Weather Sphere

Base Abilities
You can command the weather to do your bidding.

Control Weather

As a standard action, you may control all weather within medium range, adjusting either the wind, temperature, or precipitation levels. If you are in a confined area such as inside a building, your control only extends to the edge of that space.

This change in weather lasts as long as you concentrate, but you may always spend a spell point as a free action to allow this change to continue for 1 minute per caster level without concentration. When using control weather to change the weather’s severity, the change happens 1 level change per category per round until the desired severity is reached. When the effect ends, the severity of the altered weather categories returns to normal by 1 step per round.

If you are maintaining the effect through concentration, the effect moves with you, raising and lowering the severity of unaffected or no-longer affected area as described above. If it is being maintained through a spell point, it remains stationary.

Wind has 7 steps of severity, while temperature and humidity have 13. Temperature is divided between ‘Heat’ and ‘Cold’, each with 7 steps of severity. (If the temperature is lowered below step 1 of Cold, it becomes step 2 of Heat. If the temperature is lowered below step 1 of Heat, it becomes step 2 of Cold.) Likewise, humidity is divided between ‘Precipitation’ and ‘Aridity’, which follows a similar setup. An average day of no wind, no rain, and unremarkable temperature is assumed to be at severity level 1 for all categories.

At 1st caster level, you may create weather of severity level 1, 2 or 3. This improves by one severity level per 7 caster levels to a maximum of severity level 7. You may create weather of up to this severity, or lower the severity of pre-existing weather if it is within this limit. If the natural weather is of a higher severity level than you can affect, you cannot use control weather to alter that aspect of the weather.

If two casters are controlling weather in the same location and affecting different categories, both effects happen normally.

If both casters are affecting the same category, the second caster must be able to affect the weather’s new severity, and must succeed at a magic skill check to wrestle control from the first caster. On the first caster’s subsequent turn, if he maintains his own control weather effect, he must succeed at his own magic skill check to wrestle control of the weather back from the second caster. If the first caster is maintaining their effect through a spell point instead of concentration and the second caster succeeds at their magic skill check, the first caster’s weather effect is suppressed for as long as the second caster uses control weather. Once the second caster’s effect ends, the first caster’s effect resumes functioning, provided its duration has not already expired.

The following is a description of all the different effects one can create with the Weather sphere. See the Pathfinder Core rulebook for more details on weather and environmental effects. Depending on the terrain, a GM could rule additional effects happen; rain can cause rivers or enclosed spaces to flood, Cold can create ice sheets on flat terrain, etc. Generally, weather conditions from different categories stack. (Thus, if Wind, Cold, and Precipitation were all increased to Severity level 5, the area would be under the effects of the appropriate Wind, Cold, and Snow effects, all at the same time.)

Note: It is impossible to raise weather above severity level 7. However, for every effective level above severity level 7 a caster’s control weather would otherwise be able to reach, all numbers associated with that weather type, including DCs or penalties, are increased by 1.

Table: Weather Conditions

Wind

You cannot change the direction of the wind, but you may overpower it. If you wish to change the direction of the wind, you must create a new wind of the direction you desire. If the wind is the same severity as the natural wind, the winds negate (if they oppose) or join to create a wind with a direction halfway between the two. If one wind is smaller than the other, the smaller wind is negated in favor of the stronger one.

Light Wind: A gentle breeze, having little or no game effect.

Moderate Wind: A steady wind with a 50% chance of extinguishing small, unprotected flames, such as candles.

Strong Wind: Gusts that automatically extinguish unprotected flames (candles, torches, and the like). Such gusts impose a –2 penalty on ranged attack rolls and on Perception checks.

Severe Wind: In addition to automatically extinguishing any unprotected flames, winds of this magnitude cause protected flames (such as those of lanterns) to dance wildly and have a 50% chance of extinguishing these lights. Ranged weapon attacks and Perception checks are at a –4 penalty.

Windstorm: Powerful enough to bring down branches if not whole trees, windstorms automatically extinguish unprotected flames and have a 75% chance of blowing out protected flames, such as those of lanterns. Ranged weapon attacks are impossible, and even siege weapons have a –4 penalty on attack rolls. Perception checks that rely on sound are at a –8 penalty due to the howling of the wind.

Hurricane-Force Wind: All flames are extinguished. Ranged attacks are impossible (except with siege weapons, which have a –8 penalty on attack rolls). Perception checks based on sound are impossible: all characters can hear is the roaring of the wind. Hurricane-force winds often fell trees.

Tornado: All flames are extinguished. All ranged attacks are impossible (even with siege weapons), as are sound-based Perception checks. While natural winds of severity level 7 can result in a tornado, magically-altered winds of severity level 7 affects too small of an area to create this phenomenon. (Instead of being blown away [see Table: Wind], characters in close proximity to a tornado who fail their Fortitude saves are sucked toward the tornado. Those who come in contact with the actual funnel cloud are picked up and whirled around for 1d10 rounds, taking 6d6 points of damage per round, before being violently expelled (falling damage might apply). While a tornado’s rotational speed can be as great as 300 mph, the funnel itself moves forward at an average of 30 mph [roughly 250 feet per round]. A tornado uproots trees, destroys buildings, and causes similar forms of major destruction.)

Table: Wind
Severity Level Wind Speed Ranged Attacks Normal/Siege Weapons^ Checked Size^^ Blown Away Size^^^ Fly Penalty
1 (light) 0–10 mph —/— — — —
2 (moderate) 11–20 mph —/— — — —
3 (strong) 21–30 mph –2/— Tiny — –2
4 (severe) 31–50 mph –4/— Small Tiny –4
5 (windstorm) 51–74 mph Impossible/–4 Medium Small –8
6 (hurricane) 75–174 mph Impossible/–8 Large Medium –12
7 (tornado) 175–300 mph Impossible/impossible Huge Large –16

^ The siege weapon category includes ballista and catapult attacks as well as boulders tossed by giants.
^^ Checked Size: Creatures of this size or smaller are unable to move forward against the force of the wind unless they succeed on a DC 10 Strength check (if on the ground) or a DC 20 Fly check if airborne.
^^^ Blown Away Size: Creatures on the ground are knocked prone and rolled 1d4 × 10 feet, taking 1d4 points of nonlethal damage per 10 feet, unless they succeed at a DC 15 Strength check. Flying creatures are blown back 2d6 × 10 feet and take 2d6 points of nonlethal damage due to battering and buffeting, unless they succeed at a DC 25 Fly check.

Other Wind Effects
Duststorm: When severity level 4 winds are created in a desert, it can create a duststorm, blowing fine grains of sand that obscure vision, smother unprotected flames, and can even choke protected flames (50% chance). At severity level 5, a duststorm deals 1d3 points of nonlethal damage each round to anyone caught out in the open without shelter and also poses a choking hazard (see Drowning, except that a character with a scarf or similar protection across her mouth and nose does not begin to choke until after a number of rounds equal to 10 + her Constitution score).

Cold

Cold environments can deal either lethal or nonlethal cold damage to a creature. A creature dealt damage in this manner becomes fatigued (frostbitten), and cannot recover from fatigue or damage until warmed up. If a character takes an amount of nonlethal cold damage equal to her total hit points, any further damage from a cold environment is lethal cold damage.

Characters wearing a cold weather suit treat the Cold as if it were 1 level lower in severity, and may use the Survival skill to gain bonuses to saving throws against Cold. A large fire can be used to create an area of warmth in a cold environment. Cold deals damage according to Table: Cold.

Table: Cold
Severity Level Effects
3 (below 40° F) Fortitude save each hour (DC 15, +1 per previous check) or take 1d6 points of nonlethal cold damage.
4 (below 0° F) Same as level 3, but a check every 10 minutes.
5 (below –20° F) 1d6 lethal cold damage every minute (no save) and a Fortitude save (DC 15, +1 per previous check) or take 1d4 nonlethal cold damage.
6 (below -60° F) Same as severity level 5, but damage and Fortitude saves happen each round.
7 (below -120° F) 3d6 lethal cold damage each round (no save). Being encased in ice increases this to 10d6.

Heat

Heat works very similarly to Cold. Hot environments can deal lethal or nonlethal fire damage to a creature. A creature dealt damage in this manner becomes fatigued (heatstroke), and cannot recover from fatigue or damage until cooled off (reaches shade, survives until nightfall, gets doused in water, and so forth). If a character takes an amount of nonlethal fire damage equal to her total hit points, any further damage from a hot environment is lethal fire damage.

Characters in heavy clothing or armor take a -4 penalty on their saves against Heat. Creatures may use the Survival skill to gain bonuses to saving throws against Heat. Heat deals damage according to Table: Heat.

Table: Heat
Severity Level Effects
3 (above 90° F) Fortitude save each hour (DC 15, +1 per previous check) or take 1d4 points of nonlethal fire damage.
4 (above 110° F) Same as level 3, but a check every 10 minutes.
5 (above 140° F) 1d6 lethal fire damage every minute (no save), and a Fortitude save every 5 minutes (DC 15, +1 per previous check) or take 1d4 nonlethal fire damage.
6 (above 180° F) Same as severity level 5, but damage and Fortitude saves happen each round.
7 (above 212° F) 3d6 lethal fire damage each round, no save. Immersion in boiling liquids increases this to 10d6.

Precipitation

Precipitation has the most severe interaction with the other weather categories, as the conditions change depending on the temperature and wind.

When combined with Cold severity 4 or higher, snow effects are added to rain effects. When combined with Wind severity 4 or higher, storm effects are added to the rain effects. When combined with both Cold severity 4 and Wind severity 4, this results in rain, snow, and storm effects. Mist and fog are the exceptions to this, as they only appear when rain is not combined with either snow nor storm.

Severity of the snow or storm effects depends on the severity of the Precipitation, not the severity of the Wind or Cold.

Note: While water freezes at Cold severity 3, magic cannot cause rain to instantly become snow as it falls until severity level 4, since the magical water/cold is only augmenting the natural process, not replacing it.

Table: Precipitation Severity
Level Rain Effects Combined with Cold 4 and higher (Snow Effects) Combined with Winds 4 and higher (Storm Effects)
1 None None None
2 Mist Light frost Mist
3 Light/fog Snow Light storm
4 Moderate Heavy snow Storm
5 Heavy Blizzard Powerful storm
6 Flash flood Great blizzard Monsoon
7 Great flood Avalanche Typhoon

Rain Effects
Mist: Mist grants all creatures concealment from any creatures over 100 feet away (all attacks suffer a 20% miss chance).

Fog: The caster may create light rain or fog. If fog is chosen, it obscures all sight beyond 5 feet, including darkvision. Creatures 5 feet away have concealment.

Other rain effects: Beginning at severity level 4, rain has the same effect on fires, ranged attacks, and Perception checks as wind of equal severity level. This does not stack with the penalties provided by wind. The rain also cuts visibility ranges by half, resulting in an additional –4 penalty on Perception checks due to poor visibility. It rains about 1 inch per hour at severity 4, 2 inches per hour at severity level 5, 5 inches per hour at severity level 6, and 10 inches per hour at severity level 7.

Snow Effects
Snow causes squares to count as difficult terrain. This requires 24 hours of snow at severity level 1, 8 hours at severity level 2, 1 hour at severity level 3, and happens immediately at severity level 4. At severity level 5, snow obscures vision as fog does. It costs 4 squares of movement to enter a square covered with heavy snow (about 2 feet). This requires 24 hours at severity level 4, 8 hours at severity level 5, 1 hour at severity level 6, and happens immediately at severity level 7. Heavy snow accompanied by strong or severe winds might also result in snowdrifts 1d4 × 5 feet deep, especially in and around objects big enough to deflect the wind—a cabin or a large tent, for instance.

Storm Effects
Beginning at severity level 4, storms will randomly strike a square with lightning, dealing 4d8 electricity damage (Reflex half) to everything in or above that square. This happens once per minute. This damage increases by 2d8 for every severity level above 4, to a maximum of 10d8 at severity level 7.

Aridity

As Heat is the opposite of Cold, Aridity is the opposite of Precipitation. If the Precipitation is lowered below step 1 of Precipitation, it becomes step 2 of Aridity. If the Aridity is lowered below step 1 of Aridity, it becomes step 2 of Precipitation. Water left in open air loses about an inch of height per day for every level of combined severity between Heat and Aridity

This becomes 2 inches per combined level at Aridity severity level 6, and 4 inches per combined level for Aridity severity level 7.

In normal conditions, a character can go without water for 1 day plus a number of hours equal to his Constitution score. After this time, the character must succeed at a Constitution check each hour (DC 10, +1 for each previous check) or take 1d6 points of nonlethal damage. Characters that take an amount of nonlethal damage equal to their total hit points begin to take lethal damage instead.

Beginning at severity level 2, all creatures suffer a penalty equal to the Aridity severity level to all saving throws against effects that would cause fatigue or exhaustion, as well as to saving throws made against thirst. At Aridity severity level 3 creatures must drink twice as much water per day to stay healthy.

At severity level 4, the amount of time a character can go without water before they must begin attempting checks, as well as the time between checks, is cut in half (12 + 1/2 Constitution modifier hours, checks every 30 minutes). This time is cut in half again for each severity level above 4.

Even if they are drinking enough water, targets in areas of extreme magically-enhanced aridity still suffer terrible effects as the water in their bodies is constantly sucked up by the environment around them. Targets in areas of high aridity suffer the same chance of suffering nonlethal damage (from desiccation) and suffering fatigue (but not fire damage) as if they were in Heat of the same severity level. This does not stack with the penalties provided by Heat or Cold. However, if combined with Wind or Heat of severity level 4 or higher, the combined effects drain the energy from all living creatures, rendering them sickened for as long as they are within this environment.

Characters who have taken nonlethal damage due to desiccation or from a lack of food or water are fatigued. Nonlethal damage from thirst or starvation cannot be recovered until the character gets food or water, as needed, or until they receive magical healing.

Other Weather Effects

There are weather categories that are not able to be manipulated by basic wielders of control weather, but can become available through taking certain talents. These weather categories are as follows:

Ash

Ash is treated as snow, except that, beginning at severity level 4, any creature inhaling it must succeed at a DC 15 Fortitude save each round or be staggered for one round. The DC increases by 1 for each previous save and by 2 for each severity category above 4. Any creature moving through difficult terrain created by ash takes 1d6 slashing damage for every 10 feet they move (rounded up). Moving through heavy ash causes 1d6 slashing damage for every 5 feet.

Ash is a type of volcanic weather, and thus requires the Volcano Lord advanced talent to create.

Fallout [Cata. HB]

Fallout of severity level 3 forces creatures inside the area to attempt a Fortitude save each hour (DC 15, +1 per previous check) or take 1 point of Constitution damage.

Severity level 4 functions as severity level 3, save that checks must be made every 10 minutes rather than every hour.

Severity level 5 functions as severity level 4, save that checks must be made every minute rather than every hour and Constitution damage improves to 1d2.

Severity level 6 functions as severity level 5, save that checks must be made every round rather than every minute and the Constitution damage becomes 1d4 Constitution drain.

Severity level 7 functions as severity level 6, save that it deals 2d4 points of Constitution drain.

Damage from fallout is a poison effect.

Fallout is a type of radioactive weather, and thus requires the Radiation Lord advanced talent to create.

Vog

Vog of severity level 2 and 3 act as mist and fog. Starting at severity level 4 it also causes all in the area to become sickened until it leaves the area (Fortitude DC 15 negates, the DC increases by 1 per previous save). For each severity level above 4, the DC increases by 2. At severity level 6, all within the area are nauseated as long as they remain in the area and for 1d6+1 rounds after they exit. At severity level 7, they also suffer 1d6 Constitution damage per round as they inhale poisonous gas (Fortitude DC 15 negates, the DC increases by 1 per previous save).

Vog is a type of volcanic weather, and thus requires the Volcano Lord advanced talent to create.

Weather Talent Types(2)

Mantle

When you gain your first (mantle) talent, you gain the ability, as a standard action, to touch a creature and spend a spell point, bestowing your mantle upon it. Unwilling targets may attempt a Will save to resist a mantle being placed on them. A mantle lasts for one hour per caster level, and is subject to spell resistance.

Having a mantle grants different effects depending on the current weather conditions. Talents marked with the (mantle) tag add effects to your mantle; once you have bestowed your mantle upon a creature they gain the benefits of all (mantle) talents you have that apply to the weather in its area. Abilities and effects that reduces the severity of weather (such as the Weather incanter specialization or Clear Skies mantle) do not reduce the effect of mantles.

Tags:

Shroud

While control weather deals in manipulating large weather patterns, a shroud is an expression of extremely localized weather, usually only large enough to effect a single target.

You may activate a (shroud) talent as a standard action, placing that shroud on a single creature within your control weather range. Placing a shroud on a target is subject to spell resistance, but a target does not get a saving throw to resist the application of a shroud. Shroud effects persist as long as the caster concentrates. The caster may always spend a spell point as a free action to allow the effect to continue for 1 round per caster level without the need for concentration.

Unlike control weather, shrouds produce no lasting effects; any rain evaporates immediately, ice disappears when it leaves the target, etc. Shrouds do not counter the prevailing effects of the local weather (for example, Karakaze does not protect against the effects of Heat), but are also not affected by them (for example, Glare functions even in complete darkness and Heat Stroke works even in arctic levels of Cold).

When a creature is affected by two or more shrouds of the same weather type (such as Aridity or Heat) or is affected by a shroud and is in an area of the shroud’s weather type of severity level 3 or above, it suffers an additional effect depending on the shroud’s type. If a shroud has more than one weather type, it can trigger the added effect of any of its types. Regardless of the number of shrouds affecting a target, any additional effect only affects them once per round. The saving throw DC and the caster level for any additional effect are equal to that of the shroud affecting them. If a target is affected by multiple shrouds with different DCs and caster levels, use the highest DC and caster level for the additional effect (even if the highest caster level and highest DC are from different shrouds).

Shroud Additional Effects

Aridity: The target takes a -4 penalty to its Constitution score, which may not reduce its Constitution score below 1. It may attempt a Fortitude save (at its unpenalized Fortitude save bonus) at the beginning of each turn to negate this penalty for one round.

Cold: The target takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls, concentration checks, and AC. It may attempt a Will save at the beginning of each turn to ignore this penalty for one round.

Fallout: The target takes 1 point of bleed damage for every 5 caster levels you possess.

Heat: The target takes a -4 penalty to its Strength score, which may not reduce its Strength score below 1. It may attempt a Fortitude save at the beginning of each turn to negate this penalty for one round.

Precipitation: Each round at the beginning of its turn the target must succeed at a Reflex save or treat the square it starts in as difficult terrain. They also take a -4 penalty to Acrobatics and Climb checks, and to CMB and CMD.

Wind: Each round at the beginning of its turn the target must succeed at a Fortitude save or be moved 1d6 x 5 feet in a random direction. This movement provokes attacks of opportunity. If the target cannot move this far (such as if a wall or other creature is in the way) it takes 1d6 damage per 10 feet not traveled (minimum 1d6) and falls prone.

Weather Talents(13)

Dry Lightning

When you are using control weather to create Wind of severity level 4 or above in an area of Aridity severity level 4 or above, you may cause lightning to strike as if there were storm effects of a severity level equal to the Wind severity level. The ability to control where lightning strikes and the increased frequency from Storm Lord applies to these lightning strikes.

Tags:

Encompassing Weather [mass]

When using a shroud, you may spend an additional spell point to affect additional creatures, up to 1 extra creature per 2 caster levels (minimum 1). Every target must be affected by the same shroud. If you possess a mantle, you may likewise increase the number of targets you affect with your mantle, but the duration is reduced from 1 hour per caster level to 10 minutes per caster level.

Tags:

Focused Weather

When controlling weather, you may reduce the size of the effect down to a minimum radius of 25 feet and place the effect anywhere so long as it is contained within your control weather range.

Tags:

Forceful Wind

When you are using control weather to create Wind, the DC to avoid being blown away in the area, to move against the wind while checked, and the penalty to Perception checks are all increased by your casting ability modifier (minimum 1). The penalty to ranged attack rolls increases by half this amount (minimum 1).

Tags:

Greater Size [range]

When controlling weather, you may affect all weather within long range of you.

Tags:

Greater Weather

When you use control weather, you may spend an extra spell point to affect 2 weather categories instead of 1, or two extra spell points to affect 3 weather categories instead of 2. You do not need to change these categories in the same way, or make them the same severity level (i.e., you may make one category more severe, while making another less severe).

Tags:

Head In The Clouds

You may use a standard action spent to concentrate on a shroud to also cast a new shroud, and may maintain up to two shroud effects through concentration as part of the same action. This talent may be taken more than once, each time increasing the number of shroud effects you can concentrate on as part of the same action by one.

Tags:

Instill Weather [instill]

As a standard action you may touch a small container of liquid and instill a mantle or shroud inside it, which functions as a potion or oil. You must spend a spell point to allow shrouds to endure without concentration.

An instilled liquid remains potent until you rest to regain spell points. If you have equipment on hand (such as an alchemy lab), the cost of bottles and water is considered negligible. You may target food but not an already-magical item, such as a potion. All spell points must be spent and all variables of the sphere effect must be chosen at the time the instilled liquid is created. You cannot instill multiple effects in a single liquid, nor create multiple instilled liquids with a single action.

Tags:

Lengthened Weather

When you spend a spell point to allow your control weather effect to persist without concentration, you may cause the effect to persist for 1 hour per caster level instead of 1 minute per caster level.

Tags:

Severe Weather

When you control weather, you may spend an extra spell point to raise the severity you can create or alter with your control weather by 1 level, to a maximum of severity level 7.

Tags:

Snow Lord

When you are using control weather to create a Precipitation severity level 4 or above in an area of Cold severity level 4 or above, you can choose to change the snow to hail. Hail has the same effect on movement as snow, but it also deals 1 point of bludgeoning damage per severity level of Precipitation to everything within the affected area.

At severity level 4, the visibility penalty of rain does not apply to hail, and the -4 penalty to Perception only applies to Perception checks based on sound.

Tags:

Storm Lord

When you are using control weather to create Precipitation of severity level 4 or above in an area of Wind severity level 4 or above, you can control where the lightning bolts strike. You may take this talent a total of twice. If taken twice, you may increase the frequency of lightning strikes to 1 per round.

Tags:

Weather Strike [strike]

As a standard action, you may make a single weapon attack in conjunction with placing a mantle or shroud. This casting cannot be reduced below a standard action, and does not provoke attacks of opportunity, unless as usual if making a ranged attack. If the target is struck by the attack, it is also affected by the mantle or shroud. If using a scatter weapon, this only applies to a single target, chosen at the time of attack.

Tags:

Mantle Talents(27)

Barometric Mantle (mantle, all)

Creatures bearing your mantle immediately know when weather within your control weather range is being manipulated, such as with the control weather ability. Although they do not automatically know who or what is changing the weather, they do learn in what way the weather is being manipulated (such as what weather conditions are being affected, and whether the severity levels are being raised or lowered). They may also predict the natural weather within medium range for the next 48 hours and gain a +2 bonus to saving throws against the effect of weather (natural or magically manipulated). If you possess the Climate advanced talent they recognize altered weather and predict natural weather at a range of 2 miles.

Tags:

Blazing Skin (mantle, heat)

When a creature bearing your mantle is in an area of Heat of severity level 3 or higher, and is struck by a metal melee weapon, natural attack, unarmed strike, or touch attack, the attacker takes 1d4 fire damage. They may spend an immediate action to increase the damage by an additional die. For each category above hot, the die increases one step (from 1d4 to 1d6), to a maximum of 1d12 at boiling.

Tags:

Boreal Glare (mantle, cold)

When a creature bearing your mantle is in an area of Cold of severity level 3 or higher, they gain a glare attack that deals 1d6 cold damage, plus 1d6 cold damage for each severity level above 3. This functions as a gaze attack with a range of 30 feet, except that it only affects a single creature each round and only if they focus on a target as a swift action. A successful Fortitude save halves this damage, and the attack is not hindered by precipitation.

In addition, a creature bearing your mantle can see clearly through falling snow and sleet as if they were perfectly clear, ignoring miss chance from these obstructions, up to the normal limits of their vision.

Tags:

Borne Aloft (mantle, wind)

When a creature bearing your mantle is in an area of Wind of severity level 3 or higher, they gain a 20 feet fly speed (clumsy). For each category above severity level 3 the speed increases by 20 feet and the maneuverability increases by one step. When using this fly speed (but not any other fly speed they might have) they ignore the negative effects of wind related to flying, such as being blown away or taking a penalty to their Fly checks.

Tags:

Clear Skies (mantle, all)

Creatures bearing your mantle treat weather as one step less severe, plus one step per 10 caster levels. This and other (mantle) talents still work according to the true severity level. You may take this talent a second time at 5th caster level and a third time at 15th caster level. Each additional time you take it, creatures bearing your mantle treat weather as an additional one step less severe.

Tags:

Cold Resolve (mantle, cold) [utility] [DRS]

Source: Diamond Spheres: Invention & Ingenuity

When a creature bearing your mantle is in an area of Cold of severity level 2 or higher, they gain a +3 circumstance bonus to saving throws against (and the skill DC to apply) anger effects, and to any Appraise, Intimidate, or Sense Motive checks made against the bearer of the mantle, +2 for each category above 2nd.

If the bearer of your mantle is suffering from an anger condition, they reduce any penalties to skill checks associated with the condition by 2 (minimum 0).

Tags:

Desiccant (mantle, aridity)

When a creature bearing your mantle is in an area of Aridity of severity level 3 or higher, whenever they strike an enemy with a natural attack, unarmed strike, or touch attack (including as part of another touch attack), the target suffers +1d4 nonlethal damage from desiccation. This increases by 1 die size for every severity level above 3, to a maximum of +1d12 at severity level 7.

Tags:

Fluidity (mantle, precipitation)

When a creature bearing your mantle is in an area of Precipitation of severity level 3 or higher, they gain a +5 bonus to Escape Artist checks and CMD against grapples, +2 for each category above light rain/fog. For each two categories above light rain/fog, they count as one size smaller for the purpose of squeezing and their reach increases by 5 feet.

Tags:

Flustering Fever (mantle, heat) [utility] [DRS]

Source: Diamond Spheres: Invention & Ingenuity

When a creature bearing your mantle is in an area of Heat of severity level 2 or higher, they gain a +3 circumstance bonus to Intimidate checks made to insult or pose a menace, +2 for each category above 2nd. If the bearer of the mantle is suffering from an anger condition, they treat the severity of Heat as being 1 higher for the purposes of determining this talent’s effects.

Lastly, if the bearer of the mantle is the focus of a creature’s anger, the skill check penalties associated with the anger condition increase by 1.

Tags:

Frost Shield (mantle, cold)

When a creature bearing your mantle is in an area of Cold of severity level 4 or higher, they gain a +1 bonus to their AC, +1 for every severity level above 4.

Tags:

Gelid Body (mantle, cold)

When a creature bearing your mantle is in an area of Cold of severity level 3 or higher, they gain cold resistance 5 and DR 5/bludgeoning or magic, both increasing by 1 for each category above Cold severity level 3. At severity level 5 this damage resistance becomes DR/bludgeoning, and they gain vulnerability to sonic. At severity level 7, their damage resistance becomes DR/–.

Tags:

High Energy (mantle, heat)

When a creature bearing your mantle is in an area of Heat of severity level 3 or higher, they gain a number of temporary hit points equal to twice the Heat’s severity level. These temporary hit points replenish every round.

Tags:

Lightning Rod (mantle, storm)

When a creature bearing your mantle is in an area of Wind and Precipitation of severity level 4 or higher, whenever they strike an enemy with a melee weapon that is primarily made of metal or which has a metal striking surface (like most polearms and maces), the enemy is struck by a small lightning bolt dealing 2d4 electricity damage, +1d4 damage per each category above storm. In addition, any creature bearing your mantle gains a dodge bonus to Reflex saves against lightning strikes equal to your casting ability modifier.

You cannot choose a season’s additional effects if you adjust the weather inside Time Of The Season’s area. If you spend a spell point to allow Time Of The Season to continue without concentration, any weather severity changes you made continue for Time Of The Season’s duration.

Note: Changes to weather inside the area of effect should generally match a season’s normal weather, such as winter having Cold and snow and summer having Heat, subject to GM discretion. Generally speaking, wind is appropriate in any climate, but Cold, Heat, Precipitation, and Aridity will vary by season, or whatever may be appropriate for that region.

GM Advice

GM Advice

This advice is from The Tempestarian's Handbook

This advice is from The Tempestarian's Handbook

The Power of Weather
In many ways, the base Weather sphere abilities to control weather are effects for utility first instead of combat. With nothing but the base weather sphere, a caster could summon fog or rain to cover the party during stealth, or use winds to keep the arrows of a distant enemy away. Heat and cold can be managed during long travel to avoid the pitfalls of extreme environments, or to aid a settlement in times of drought or winter.

The Power of Weather

However, focused weather experts can sometimes find that weather is one of the trickier spheres to play with, both as a GM and as a player. First, it takes significant time to change the weather, meaning by the time you bring the wind or rain or heat to a severity where it will actually make a difference in combat, the battle may be over. Second, because it covers a wide area, only affects creatures while they are in the area, and is indiscriminate in who it affects, weather often hinders a tempestarian’s allies as much as their enemies.

This handbook has tried to offer several tools to lessen these difficulties. Shrouds, as well as the Dehydration Pulse and Rain Bomb advanced talents help allow a Tempestarian to affect the course of a battle almost immediately. Shrouds also give the Tempestarian the ability to selectively target enemies and spare their friends, while Mantles make affecting allies with control weather a boon. Many tempestarians will thus find useful tools in this handbook, even if they prefer to stick to a more traditional strategy of changing the environment of the entire battlefield.

The challenges facing a GM when either a PC or an NPC uses the Weather sphere are deeper and more intractable. The same difficulties facing PCs can face NPCs, and so NPC tempestarians might be wise to pick some of the new talents available to them, though a canny DM with an intelligent NPC can get around these problems by careful encounter design. Some monsters are immune to the effects of weather, and some have other ways to avoid it. Bulettes, for example, burrow underground and are unaffected by weather while protected by a layer of earth, so a caster above ground might pummel the PCs with hail while bulettes pop up, attack, and disappear beneath the earth again.

The greater challenge comes from the sheer force available to tempestarians. With the right talents, they can batter entire battlefields with damage and control the conditions of a fight. While the individual damage done by Weather pales in comparison to the Destruction sphere, it is continuous and widespread. They can easily level structures and even entire settlements, and can do so from an early level.

To address this problem, this handbook has changed certain talents—Boiling Lord, Cold Lord, Heat Lord, Rain Lord, and Wind Lord—to be advanced magic. While GMs and groups of course have always had the prerogative to restrict the use of these talents if disruptive to play, this change encourages them to consider their power and reinforces the fact that the impact of weather needs to be considered carefully in a game where such game-altering power isn’t easily available to PCs.

In addition, GMs are strongly encouraged to remember how structures are affected by weather. In addition to the lightning rod and storm shelter (provided both for GMs and for players wishing to construct weather-resistant strongholds), structures built of hard materials such as stone are virtually impervious to damage from weather; objects take half damage from energy attacks before applying hardness, which when combined with the sheer number of hit points most structures possess, makes destroying them with weather an extremely difficult task.
