07-24-05, 12:47 AM Does anyone know how to make it rain over a valley wide area? We are fighting 100+ salt mummies and rain would be really helpful.

2nd level druid spell

Causes heavy rain to fall

I never though of a use for this spell other than call lightning ;p

07-24-05, 12:54 AM Control Weather (7th-level). Its casting time is 10 minutes and its area only a 2-mile radius, but that's all that comes to mind.

07-25-05, 01:15 AM so I am not going to be able to cast control weather. I might be able to ask our durid to see what water spell he can come up.

07-25-05, 03:41 AM Summon Water elementals. Assuming there is enough of a water source for the conjuration. If you have time to prepare. Stone shape and create water the battlefield first. Making a few pools of water.

Wall of Fire (Drd 5, Fire 4, Sor/Wiz 4). Undead take Double damage. Trapped between 2 walls of fire is definately an undeads nightmare.

Sleet Storm (wiz 3rd). Almost but not quite rain.

Wizard gets a create water spell - i think its first level and is like, 2gallons / level? Thats not a whole lot, but its enough you could dump it down a hill and get some of them maybe.

07-25-05, 01:30 PM Well, Control Weather is about the only thing that comes to mind or bringing in some water elementals to drown the salt mummies. A decanter of endless water would be cool. I think there is a control water spell in the PHB or some other source. Re-direct a river into the valley perhaps?

Wall of Fire (Drd 5, Fire 4, Sor/Wiz 4). Undead take Double damage. Trapped between 2 walls of fire is definately an undeads nightmare.

Since when do undead take double damage from fire? I don't think they have any fire vulnerability (I think you're thinking of regular mummies, salt mummies don't have that vulnerability) and if they do, they take 50% extra damage from fire, not double.

Well, I'll be damned... never noticed that about Wall of Fire. Not sure if the AoE is large enough to cover a valley (400 feet long at CL 20), maybe you can set up a nice trap with the spell. Use water (Control Water or something similar would be ideal) to guide the salt mummies through the wall hopefully incinerating them.

Wall of Fire: "The wall deals double damage to undead creatures." -SRD.
It's in the spell discription. I know regular mummy's take double from fire.

Double double damage to regular mummy's with a wall fo fire. My DM really really loved me for that one. 6 mummys trapped in a 20 x 60 room with a fighter defensive fighting in the only doorway out.

Cost to cast wall of fire: holy symbol
Cost to keep fighter buffed: 2 x cure moderate wounds
Look on DM's face: Priceless

:D

How about a Trap with wall of fire and wall of ice. hedged inbetween the 2. that is fire damage and if the ice wall starts to melt that is water on the other side.
