DESCRIPTION

Chariot of fire creates clap of thunder and roiling bank of smoke from which a flaming heavy chariot drawn by 2 reddish-brown fiery horses emerges (see “Vehicles”).

The chariot has a base land speed of 70 feet per round and a fly speed of 140 feet per round with average maneuverability. The chariot can carry you and up to 5 other Medium or smaller creatures that you designate (by touch) during the casting. Creatures larger or smaller than Medium can be designated. A Large creature counts as two Medium or smaller creatures.

Huge or larger creatures cannot board the chariot. Creatures other than you and those you designate that come within 5 feet of or touch the chariot or the horses take 2d4 points of fire damage per round they remain in the area. While aboard the chariot, all passengers gain fire resistance 10.

You control the chariot verbally and can cause the horses to run, trot, fly, turn, and so on. The chariot is a tangible manifestation and can be damaged or attacked, as can the horses. See the sidebar for statistics for the chariot and horses. The chariot and horses can be dismissed or dispelled. In such a case, the spell ends, leaving the passengers unharmed (unless of course they happen to be airborne when the spell disappears, in which case they might take falling damage).
