[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 6979598, member: 6801845"] Part of the question is - do you want to deal with no gravity? I think it could be fun ... for a while. I could imagine a fight where if you weren't properly braced shooting a bow meant you propelled yourself backwards, swinging a sword would make you twirl, etc. You could make it an asteroid with high iron content and give people magnetic boots to compensate (or just special magic boots). Of course any magic that let you fly would also probably fix the issue. In addition, if there is no gravity there is no up or down. Obviously you're going to have a total lack of light, but what about temperature and atmosphere? It's a magical asteroid so you could hand-wave it or rely on magic/potions. Could be kind of fun if the group has to cross an anti-magic zone. Although in a vacuum, you don't really radiate heat so I'm not sure how to handle that. If you wanted a realistic response google it. Basically you would only survive for a few rounds since trying to hold your breath would cause your lungs to explode. Oh, and the spit on your tongue will start to boil. :eek: The caves would likely be similar to what we see in lava tunnels, so no stalagtites/stalagmites The monsters I would populate an asteroid with would probably all be aberrations or oozes. Nothing says space like tentacles and too many eyes. Anyway those are my suggestions. Sounds fun, I may have to steal the idea some day! [/QUOTE]
