Lava
Lava is extremely hot molten rock. Pools of lava create dangerous terrain, and sprays of lava cause Fire damage based on the amount of spray.
Sprays of Lava
A spray of lava can either act as an attack in combat, or as a trap. The amount of sprayed lava determines the damage.
| Amount | Attack in Combat | Trap |
|---|---|---|
| Single small glob | 2d10 Fire damage and Ongoing 10 Fire damage [SE ST 3d10 vs DEX] | Fire Injury (+5 Bonus) |
| Small Spray | 4d10 Fire damage and Ongoing 15 Fire damage [SE ST 4d10 vs DEX] | Fire Injury (+0 Bonus) |
| Moderate Spray | 4d10+30 Fire damage and Ongoing 25 Fire damage [SE ST 5d10 vs DEX] | Fire Injury (-5 Penalty) |
| Large Spray | 4d10+80 Fire damage and Ongoing 50 Fire damage [SE ST 6d10 vs DEX] | Fire Injury (-10 Penalty) |
Pools of Lava
Pools of Lava create Damaging Terrain (Fire). The amount of damage is based on the amount of exposure to the lava:
- Scattered Globs [25 Fire damage]: A smattering of small globs of lava on a surface.
- Shallow Pool [50 Fire Damage]: A shallow lava flow or pool (roughly an inch or two deep).
- Moderate Pool [100 Fire damage]: A pool of lava that covers the legs or covers approximately 25-50% of the body. This is also Entangling Terrain.
- Deep Pool [200 Fire damage]: Deep pool of lava that covers most of the body, approximately 75% or more. This is also Entangling Terrain, or may require swim checks to move through. Lava is very dense and viscous which makes it extremely difficult to swim through (DF 8 or more).
Surrounding Area
Active lava produces a significant amount of heat. The area near the lava has super heated air and is Damaging Terrain (10 Fire). The size of the area around the lava varies between 5ft (for a small flow or pool) and 20ft (for a lava lake or large flow). Additionally, prolonged exposure to the sizeable heat that comes from lava, even if not damaging, can cause Heat Exposure.
