Description

Natural Colors attunes the caster with their surroundings, making them more difficult to see and, thus, more difficult to attack. It provides a bonus of +10 to defensive strength and provides a bonus to hiding in natural terrain.

  • This bonus increases with training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings.
  • The target also receives a hiding bonus in natural terrains (not hard/flat or in town). This bonus is increased by training in the Ranger Base spell circle. Casting the Sneaking (617) spell in conjunction with this spell provides a higher hiding bonus than when using Natural Colors alone. Other stealth activities, such as STALKing, remaining unseen while hidden, and unhiding unseen are also easier while this spell is in effect.
  • At 11 Ranger spell ranks, it may also be EVOKEd to affect the Ranger's group. Evoke will work prior to level 11 if you have the required 11 Ranger spell ranks.

This spell is NOT selfcast only and can be cast on others for a flat +10 bonus.
