![]() Still, for such a cheap slot and with the mechanics it offers, Fog Cloud is a great option for a lot of characters. That paired with how easily it can be dispersed makes it difficult to keep using in the upper tiers regularly. My biggest issue with Fog Cloud is its concentration requirement. Fog Clouds placed on ranged enemy combatants can force them into vulnerable positions for your melee buddies while being within an area prone to giant AOE damage effects like Fireball. Paired with blindsight, or other means of getting around the blindness effect, creatures can have advantage on all their attacks, while enemies will have disadvantage on their attacks. The second major use case is as a means of getting tactical combat advantages on enemies. ![]() At its worst here, though, they pick out your sound and can move through the cloud fast enough to keep pace. At its best, Fog Cloud can provide cover to bamboozle enemies, leaving them dumbfounded and fumbling trying to figure out which of the four possible directions you could have gone in. It blocks line of sight for casting spells and allows things to hide in it which is situationally useful. The Druid can see his opponents, his opponents cant see him, and Darkvision is useless in a Fog Cloud. Sounds may still give them away, but with some coordinated planning or decent stealth checks, Fog Cloud can facilitate escape maneuvers or quick crimes. The best use of Fog Cloud is by a Moon Druid who then shifts into a form with Blindsight, like a Giant Spider. This breaks down into two major use cases, with the primary use case being as a tool to briefly obscure vision.īlinded creatures for even just a few seconds can give the party time to relocate, hide, or perform tasks with discretion. Blinded creatures can’t see, automatically failing ability checks that require sight, have disadvantage on attack rolls, and grant enemies advantage on attack rolls against them. Heavily obscured areas treat creatures within them as if they were blinded. ![]() It’s such a useful little tool to have in your back pocket that can get you out of sticky situations for just a single 1st level spell slot.
