If a creature is moved onto a pit square during another creature’s turn, it can make a DC 15<br />
save at the end of that turn. If the save succeeds, the creature moves off the pit to the nearest<br />
legal space without taking attacks of opportunity. If the save fails, the creature is eliminated.<br />
RISKY TERRAIN<br />
Risky terrain counts as difficult terrain (see above), except that<br />
you must roll the d20 for any creature that ends its turn in a risky<br />
terrain square. On a result of 1–5, the creature takes 10 points of<br />
damage; otherwise, there is no effect. This is not a save, so you<br />
don’t add anything to the roll.<br />
In addition, any creature on risky terrain deals 5 extra points of<br />
melee damage when it makes a successful melee attack.<br />
The battle maps in this Starter Set do not contain any areas of risky terrain, but those in future<br />
products will.<br />
SACRED CIRCLE<br />
A creature on a square containing part of a sacred circle gains a<br />
+2 bonus on attack rolls. Any damage it deals with these attacks is<br />
considered magic damage, which overcomes DR (Damage<br />
Reduction; see the glossary at the end of this rulebook for more<br />
information). Sacred circles have no effect on movement.<br />
In this Starter Set, the Broken Demongate and Teleport Temple<br />
maps contain several sacred circles.<br />
SPIKE STONES<br />
Squares containing spike stones count as difficult terrain (see<br />
above). Whenever a creature whose movement is slowed by<br />
difficult terrain moves into a new square containing spike stones,<br />
it takes 5 points of magic damage. Creatures that are not slowed<br />
by difficult terrain take no damage from spike stones. A creature<br />
that is not routing cannot move into a square containing spike<br />
stones if that terrain would deal enough damage to destroy it.<br />
You can identify spike stones by the terrain’s symbol ( ). Only squares containing the symbol<br />
count as spike stones.<br />
The battle maps in this Starter Set do not contain any areas of spike stones, but those in other<br />
products do.<br />
STATUES<br />
Statues slow movement and provide cover against ranged attacks.<br />
It costs 2 squares to move into a square containing a statue (or 3<br />
squares if moving diagonally). A creature can’t end its movement<br />
in a square containing a statue. Statues provide cover to creatures<br />
behind them but don’t block line of sight.<br />
