Astral Window
When this spell is cast, a "window" appears in
the air before the priest, through which he (and
any others present) can see into the Astral plane.
The astral window ranges in size from one square
foot up to a 10' x 10' square. at the caster's choosing. The window is not mobile, and if the priest
moves more than 5 yards away from it, it immediately vanishes and the spell ends.
By stating a subject's name, the priest may view a
specific creature or object in the window. More
than one subject may be viewed during the spell's
duration. Each time a new subject is chosen, the
window becomes streaked with grey as the Astral
plane flies past. This continues for 1d4 rounds, until
the window finally focuses upon the chosen subject.
If the person is not in the Astral plane, the window
instead chooses a random location.
The window operates from both sides; crea-
tures in the Astral plane can see the priest as easiIy as he can see them. Verbal communication is
not possible, however.
Normally, creatures cannot pass through the
window. If an attempt is made, there is a base 5%
chance of success. This is modified by +1% per
level or Hit Dice of the individual. In order to
pass through, the creature or object must be small
enough to fit through the window; otherwise, only a portion of the subject may reach through
(such as a monster's arm or searching tongue).
By casting the astral window spell, a character
who subsequently casts the 7th-level astral spell
may choose to arrive in the Astral plane at the
place shown in the window.
