So, I made a little chart. Each round I rolled to see if the land or sea would have some terrain/hazard effect, and then I created a couple of charts for what would happen. In our fight, we only got a couple of the results, but the players were amused that a giant whirlpool was forming round after round and that lightning strikes were coming dangerously close to them. Just thought I'd share:(Note: "characters" refers to any creature--PC or monster)On each turn, roll 1d6: 1-3: Storm event 4-6: Water event Storm Event: 1: Lightning Strike (Roll 1d20 for x and y axis. Lightning strikes in a burst 1 from that spot, +14 vs. Fortitude, doing 4d10 damage, miss: half.) 2: Avalanche (Fierce winds cause rocks to fall from the moutain top, making a +12 vs. Reflex attack on anyone adjacent to the mountain. Damage: 3d6, miss: half.) 3: Roof collapse (One square on the roof collapses. +14 vs. Reflex or be entangled (save ends)) 4: Winds stir up debris (Debris flies across the roof, causing a -2 to all melee attacks this round, -5 to ranged.) 5: Thunder crash (+12 vs. Fortitude for all characters above water or be deafened (save ends)) 6: Fierce wind (Anyone on land not protected by Tidereaver's Tears is slid 1d6 squares toward the sea.) Water Event: 1: Storm Surge (Waves wash onto the roof, making all squares difficult terrain until the next turn.) 2: Tidal Swell (The waves moves all characters already in the water. They must make an Athletics check (w/ bonus equal to swim score), DC 24, or be moved toward the building 1 square for each 2 points by which they failed. If this moves them into the building, they take 1d4 damage for each square of movement left.) 3: Undertow (All characters in water are sucked underwater 2 squares) 4: Whirlpool (All characters in the water are slid 1d4 squares in a random direction.) 5: Seaspray (All characters with their heads above water have a -2 to attacks this round.) 6: Tidal Wave: (All characters on the roof must make an Acrobatics check DC 22 or go prone and be slid inland 2 squares. All characters in the water make an Athletics check DC22 or are moved 2 squares inland, going on land if necessary.)-Berc</blockquote>
