[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8168066, member: 93670"] It depends on what the pc is trying to fly over & your right that's important [LIST] [*]There is a pit/canyon with a long fall.. [LIST] [*]wooo... done meh [/LIST] [*]There is a canyon/pit with an unchecked growth of Risian iceshard flowers known for being beautiful, fragile, and extremely lethal in part due to their direct link to risia [LIST] [*]eek... PC with nature: how will these react to bob casting fly & carrying us over the pit one by one [LIST] [*]GM: Your not sure, but planar infused plants are known to have rather violent reactions to the presence of certain spells & magic items crafted with ties to opposing planes... it's all very much cross your fingers & pray in a lot of cases [/LIST] [/LIST] [*]There is a field with well patchy blighted grass resulting from the sort of breakdown you see when a field has been mined with certain types of wards [LIST] [*]Caster: Are those wards triggered by walking over/near them or are they more active hunter killer stuff? [LIST] [*]You've heard of both kinds & they can get fairly elaborate depending on who made the & why... There has been a lot of war in the area [/LIST] [/LIST] [*]There is a ditch with war snake burrows in your way [LIST] [*]eek: what do we know about war snakes after using our skills as a party? [LIST] [*]GM: You all are pretty sure that their bottomless appetite explains the general sparseness of wildlife in the area... They hunt through all sorts of senses, are known to have spells grown into their skin for protection stealth & other stuff like invisibility. Really they are nasty pieces of work from expert magebreeders... it depends on how pure they are [*]pc's: Pure? [*]GM: Yea like how many generations since they were released & what they bred with since [/LIST] [/LIST] [*]A pit caused by a planar manifest zone? [LIST] [*]PCs:eek lets investigate the manifest zone to see where it is, where it connects to & so on. [/LIST] [*]There is a canyon, just a canyon.. oh yea cannibal halflings are headed your way [LIST] [*]PCs: how many? [*]GM: Like a whole tribe, you know what they want. [/LIST] [*]there is a creek radiating blight into the environment around it, probably from the age of demons with that check bob.. it depends on which demon overlord caused the blight & how but you'd need to get closer & with your 23 int you are pretty sure that is less than entirely safe [/LIST] edit: It's easy to make environmental challenges meaningfyl to higher levels by adding more stuff as the players chase a rabbit hole. Unlike the quantum ogre though PCs with useful skills they can leverage in creative/relevant ways wind up feeling awesome for being able to do some cool things with their skills. [/QUOTE]
