Witcher Signs
Aard
School: Evocation [air]
Range: up to 30 ft line or cone, see text
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
You unleash an intense blast of air in a 10 foot line against a single creature of Medium or smaller size. You use this blast to make a free Bull Rush against the creature but instead of your base attack bonus you can use your witcher level, and instead of your Strength modifier you can use your Wisdom modifier. This Bull Rush attempt does not provoke attacks of opportunity. All non-magical flames on the creature and in a line between you and the creature are extinguished by the intense wind from the blast.
You can also use this sign to create small gusts of air within 5 feet. This can be used to create minor effects like extinguishing a candle. In this form, the sign can be cast an unlimited amount of times.
6th level: The blast increases in size to a 15 foot cone and affects all Medium or smaller creatures caught in it. Alternatively you may choose to focus the blast into a 15 foot line against a single creature and add your studied target bonus to your CMB for the Bull Rush attack even if you have not studied the target.
11th level: Large creatures are also affected by the blast. When focusing your blast on a single target, you can make a free Trip attempt in addition to the Bull Rush, using the same CMB used to make the Bull Rush attack.
16th level: The blast increases in size to a 30 foot cone and you may make a free Trip attempt against all affected creatures in the cone. When focusing your attack against a single target the range increases to a 30 foot line and upon a successful Bull Rush or Trip attempt the target becomes staggered for 2 rounds.
