A grease spell creates an area covered by a slippery substance of a fatty, greasy nature.

Any creature stepping upon this area will have to save versus Petrification or slip, skid, and fall.

Of course, if a creature is aware of the area, it can possibly be avoided.

The spell can also be used to cause a greasy coating on some surface other than that underfoot—a rope, ladder rungs, weapon handle, etc. Lone material objects will always be subject to such a spell use, but if the magic is cast upon an object being wielded or employed by a creature, the creature must fail a saving throw versus Spell for the grease spell to be effective. A single saving throw will negate the effects.

The material component of the spell is a bit of pork rind, butter, or other greasy material.

Campaign Rule. If cast directly under a creature, the entire area must be covered or there is a chance the creature does not become affected. Small creatures (goblins, gnomes) require at least three feet of coverage, Man-sized require 5-ft, and Large creatures 10-ft or more. If not fully covered, the GM will assign a percentage chance that the creature will be affected usually 50% (d%, 01-50 = creature must save) if half for example. If cast on a wielded object, two saves are granted (Spell and Petrify). All Petrify saves add the creature's Dexterity modifier if any. The chance to notice a greasy area is 10% if using infravision, 50% in torchlight or similar, and 85% in bright light. Those using ultravision will see the area glow pink (so 100%).
