You create a 20-foot-radius sphere of fog centered on a point within range. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. It lasts for the duration or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the radius of the fog increases by 20 feet for each slot level above 1st.
If you roll fog cloud on the wild magic table and it says it’s cast on self would the fog cloud travel with you when you move?
Really any wind will blow this thing away. When you consider that average wind speeds in the US per state are at the lowest 12, we can assume that most places have an average wind speed of more than 10 feet as well. So most of the time the cloud would be moved. The advantage to darkness is it can't be blown away by a slight breeze. It stays wherever it is.
By duration, does it mean how long the spell lasts or how long it takes to cast it? Cuz it says it takes one action to cast but that didn't clear it up that much for me.
No it isn't 🛑
Heh heh, get absolutely jebaited anything with truesight
Question. Since fog is generally .adequate of water, would this normally mess up lightning based spells (kinda new and noticing I'm being told a lot of extra rules by other players and the dm and weren't mentioned before) got one guy that uses mainlyightning magic and dont wanna cause the whole parry area damage
So could you theoretically cast fog cloud on a bottle of holy water and create a 2d6 gas chamber for an hour?
This is kind of a gray area - applying real-world logic to magical effects. Spells that deal lightning damage don't generally list any interactions with water in their descriptions. A DM sticking close to the Rules As Written (which you'll see people abbreviate as RAW) would say that because the spell descriptions don't say that fog cloud has any particular interaction with lightning spells, it doesn't. However, common sense might suggest that things that conduct electricity in real life might have an impact on magical lightning damage, so a DM might interpret it that way in game. Ultimately, the DM has the final say on things like this.
You don't cast fog cloud "on" something. It's a conjuration spell, so the fog is being conjured out of nothing, not out of an existing water source.
