What spell would you use for an unbreathable atmosphere?

Piratecat

Sesquipedalian
You want your party to survive in a huge area of sulpherous gas for a long time (over an hour.) You have a high lvl cleric and wizard. Are there any spells out there that can help, without blowing 5000 xp on a full miracle?

Thanks!

Could the wizard shapechange into an Elder Air Elemental, then encompass the rest of the party in his body?
 

Water Breathing...and a fishbowl on your head...with water in it. :D

Seriously though, I don't know of a spell that lets you breathe in a toxic/poisoned environment, but I imagine that a variant of Water Breathing should do the trick. I don't think a level increase would be warranted either. After all, you'd basically be trading one environment for another. Besides, I'd imagine that someone would have come up with variants of this spell at some point in history. Heck, just imagine big cities, like Waterdeep, where a shop fire is just as rampant as a forest fire. Someone's gotta breathe all that smoke while they try to put out the fire. Might even be a druid spell.
 

Looking at Magic Item Prerequisites:

Necklace of Adaptation uses Alter Self.
Bottle of Air uses Water Breathing.
Iridescent Ioun Stone just needs the CWI feat.

How about either:

A combination of Water Breathing and Resist Energy (Acid) (In 3E I would have said Endure Elements)...

or, though it's not the way the spell would normally work, Water Breathing cast with the Energy Substitution: Acid feat?

-Hyp.
 



More and more, I'm of the opinion that any sufficiently high-level D&D character should never need to eat, sleep or breathe. :)
