[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9674504, member: 23751"] It's interesting that 1e talks about encountering locations, obstacles, and situations in the Dungeoneer's Survival Guide. It was not written by Gygax, but was approved by him. "Three types of caves are commonly encountered: limestone caves, sea caves, and lava caves." "Geothermal heat is a feature that can be encountered in deep caves of any kind, although it is particularly likely in a lava cave, since the lava itself is a carrier of geothermal heat." "This heat can be encountered by underground explorers in a number of ways." " "Some dungeons begin as buildings whose ruins are later buried by new buildings, until the original layer seems to be well underground. Dungeons can be encountered long after their construction, and may in fact be well on the way toward collapse-or they may be newly excavated or even in the process of construction when characters encounter them." "Characters who spend much time exploring the unknown reaches below the earth’s surface are sure to encounter many situations requiring climbing skills." "Underground obstacles such as chasms and pits are also frequently encountered by subterranean explorers." "If a character encounters an obstacle while moving in darkness, he must make a Dexterity Check." [/QUOTE]
