Feather Fall
(Alteration)
Level: 1
Range: 10 yds./level
Duration: 1 rd./level
Area of Effect: Special
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 segment
SavingThrow: None
When this spell is cast the creature(s) or object(s) affected immediately
assumes the mass of a piece of down. The rate of falling is instantly changed
to a mere 2 feet per second (120 feet per round), and no damage is incurred
upon landing while the spell is in effect. However, when the spell duration
ceases, a normal rate of fall occurs.
The spell can be cast upon the magic-user or some other creature or
object up to the maximum range and lasts for one round for each level of
the magic-user. The Feather Fall affects one or more objects or creatures in
a 10-foot cube, as long as the maximum weight of the creatures or objects
does not exceed a combined total of 200 pounds plus 200 pounds per level
of the spellcaster.
For example, a 2nd level magic-user has a range of 20 yards, a duration of
two rounds, and a weight limit of 600 pounds when casting this spell. The
spell works only upon free-falling, flying or propelled objects (such as missiles).
It does not affect a sword blow or a charging creature. Note that the spell
can be effectively combined with Gust of Wind and similar spells.
