Gust of Wind and Levitate

[Spectre9000]

These two in combination are gonna come up in a game I'm playing, and I'm curious what you view the result of the interaction between these two as?

In my opinion, regardless of RAW, Gust of Wind should have an increased affect on the Levitated creature as it's already being held aloft, not to mention it shouldn't get a strength check as it has nothing to exert it's strength on.


That's my opinion, but I'm not sure how these would interact as per RAW, which is the important part, as this could dictate the flow of the campaign quite a bit.

I'd rule that there's no STR check allowed if there is indeed nothing to hold onto or push against. I would probably also say it has some increase in effect, though how much is uncertain.
