Spell/Talent of the Week: Slippery Floor
This IQ 13 Thrown spell creates a megahex area so slick that it requires those standing in it to make an adjDX saving roll to avoid falling. It has obvious offensive uses, but can be cast defensively, too. It demands a moderate expenditure of ST, but delivers effects for a full twelve turns. It is, of course, susceptible to cancellation by Remove Thrown Spell. Slippery Floor shines most in situations where those falling down might also fall into some hazard, such as a pit, river, fire, etc.
Back in the days of pitting teams of wizards against each other in arena combat, I saw more use of this spell than I do in longer campaign play in which combat is not the sole or even prime activity PCs engage in. Most players seem to favor more overt ways of overcoming their opponents. What's your experience? How often do you see PCs in your games learning this spell, and what are some memorable uses of it from sessions at your table? |
