[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 8599050, member: 6803337"] One aspect of the prairie / steppe is distance. Some creatures can cast [I]Mass Slow[/I] or inflict a speed penalty, so it takes you longer to get where you are going than it looks like it ought to. Prairie dogs. Some are aggressive. A rare few can "garden" their favorite grasses - they rip out non-tasty plants, bury a few seeds of the good stuff, and from time to time take down some poor bloke who passed too near by, to provide fertilizer. A hawk / falcon / eagle which, if you know the signs, can lead you to food. Super-tall grass that blocks sight. Sure that looks like a flat area from over here, but that guy you see up to his neck in weeds went over there riding on a horse. Razor grass. An ouchy form of difficult "terrain". One or two places that are haunted. A long time ago there was a battle or a massacre - nobody remembers which or who or why any more - and some of the spirits of the dead do not rest easy. Might be associated with a creek whose waters occasionally run red-ish. [/QUOTE]
