Smoke para-elementals move either by drifting along the ground as
blash ash or flying in the form of a concentrated blast of black fog. The
latter form has a maneuverability class E but does double damage (x2) when
it hits a TARGET. While forming and dissolving, the fog-form takes a full
turn. During normal attacks it can engage as many targets as are within 10 feet.
All within 10 feet must save vs. poison or be -2 to hit from the blinding smoke.
Smoke elementals are -1 on damage dice from all air-based attacks,
including those from air elementals.
<link: E>
<cf fog & smoke in the wsg & dsg>
<theoretically, in combat, a character could enter the space of a smoke elemental,
perhaps, apply smoke/fog modifiers, with automatic damage each round.
this would take the place of the smoke para-elementals regular attack against that character, for that round>

The para-elemental Plane of Smoke is a dry, empty AREA with few
long-term inhabitants. The smoke para-elementals have no king, but
several exceptional types rule small pockets of the others. These exceptional
para-elementals are usually feuding for control of the plane.
