Gust of Wind + Gale Force alternatives

[Tesla_pasta]

The Storm Sentry class (from dragonmarked) gives the ability Gale Force as the 5th level feature. Gale Force improves yout Gust of Wind spell-like ability so that it treats all targets in the wind as 1 size smaller (so you can knock down medium creatures, etc.)

Are there any other ways to improve your gust of wind like this?

See if the ambigously worded capstone will work with a gust of wind SLA from another source - for example, 1 level dip into warlock or dragonfire adept which gives you Scalding gust, at will gust of wind with a bit of fire damage added on top.


Not THAT type of upgrade, but a pretty neat upgrade nonetheless

Spell Side Effects can technically let you choose to cast Gust of Wind at Windstorm levels at no cost. Hell you could put it on a cantrip instead. Still, when using spell side effects with the ‘allows you to pick’ section, moderation is best.

What book is Spell Side Effects in? Google isn't returning any useful results

Not exactly what OP is looking for, but...for general Gust of Wind shenanigans:

Hurricane Breath reserve feat gives + 1 CL to your air spells, and lets you use a blast of air to push creatures back, without expending a spell.

The Air Bloodline feat from Dragon Compendium can add Gust of Wind to any spontaneous arcane caster's spells known.

Stormsinger 1 can turn Bardic Music into a Gust of Wind effect.

Stormlord 3 is immune to Gust of Wind effects.

Wind-Guided Arrows is another reserve feat, but only works with spells of 3rd level of higher. Also, not a great effect TBH.

Cali****e Elementalist: Air feat increases CL and damage cap on spells, but unfortunately Gust of Wind isn't one of the listed spells it works with.
