Dungeon Environment Effect

Steam

Random environmental effects occur in dungeons.

When a campaign starts, each dungeon region rolls its own list. Combat difficulty decides how many positive effects are on it, and how many negative ones.

  • The same effect cannot show up twice on one list.
  • If the weight is under 1, that effect is not in the pool.
  • If both sides of a blocked pair show up together, the game throws that list out and rolls again. It tries 10 times. If a pair is still together after that, it uses a spare list stored in the game.

Incompatible Environment Effects

A list cannot hold both effects from one of these pairs.
