Need a way to protect Fog Cloud from a) natural wind, & b) magical wind attacks

[Jowgen]

Question much as in the title. I need a way to keep a stationary fog cloud as is regardless of the wind conditions prevalent in the area and ideally also magically created winds. I've considered tying a Control Winds to a Hallow Spell, but that seems well clunky, and I have no idea how it would interact with someone using gust of wind et al.

Any ideas anyone?

Why do you need a stationary Fog Cloud?

Orb of Pleasant Breezes, Draconomicon pg 85. For 33kgp, all weather within 2 miles is always calm and mild. Any magical attempts at changing the weather requires an opposed CL check against CL 11.

An illusion of fog would do the trick. Mind you, fog that doesn't move in a high wind might start provoking disbelief saves, especially since GoW can move Solid Fog.

True-seeing-proof camouflage for a large object.

I shall put that one in the Suitable-options pile, thank you :smallsmile:

Happen to know a way to True-Seeing proof it?

Another option is to use the Mythal epic spell seed and aroint all spells that can create or affect wind. :smallbiggrin:

Most straightforward answer, I think, is sleet storm. That spell is basically fog cloud with wind resistance at its base level, except it also has other upsides. Duration could be problematic though.

Edit:

Classic answer is using invisible spell on some variety of fog, though I dunno that you can make the invisible fog resistant to wind without using another of these tricks.

If the illusion of a fog cloud was created by a Gnome Illusionist (who took the 10th level substitution level), it requires a CL check to pierce with a Divination spell.

I think I've got it - Tiny Hut (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/tinyHut.htm). It's not strictly a fog, but it lasts all day, it's totally opaque, a 20ft. radius sphere is big enough to hide something Gargantuan and it beats up to hurricane force winds (so will defeat Gust of Wind.)

The only downside is you can't leave - so just hand your simulacrum/cohort/spell clock etc. a wand or something and have it sit in there and keep recasting the spell for you before the duration runs out. Return every two weeks to do maintenance or with a fresh wand.

What are you trying to hide?
