Weather

Eventually weather tables for each region may be developed, but for now the following system is used.

1. At the start of the expedition, check starting weather by rolling d6 to determine the starting column, and a d20 for the row.¹⁾
2. At every subsequent dawn and dusk, roll a d20 for the current column. The result may cause a change of column, as seen below.

In the winter, rain will be sleet/snow.

• Orcs and goblins fight at a penalty. Vampires will be destroyed. Wraiths are powerless. And so on.

• Orcs, goblins, vampires, wraiths, etc. are not affected by sunlight.

• -1 to missiles.
• 80% visibility and encounter distance.
• Any invisible creatures can be attacked at -4, as their general position is revealed. (Excludes psionic invisibility.)

• -2 to missiles.
• 50% visibility and encounter distance.
• Any invisible creatures can be attacked at -4, as their general position is revealed. (Excludes psionic invisibility.)
• 50% movement speed, due to mud.
• Double movement point cost.

Only possible outside of the winter moons. Blizzard otherwise.

• Counts as the precipitation column. Starting rain is either light (25%) or hard (75%).
• If “Cloudy” is rolled, the lightning storm ends, and the “Precipitation” column is rolled on once more.

Only possible during the winter moons. Lightning storm otherwise.

• Counts as the precipitation column. “Light rain” has the effects of “Hard rain”, and “Hard rain”'s effects are doubled (excluding ability to strike invisible at -4).
• If “Cloudy” is rolled, the blizzard ends, and the “Precipitation” column is rolled on once more.

Only possible during the summer moons. Counts as clear otherwise.

• Double movement point cost.
• Any chances to start a fire (due to carelessness or intention) are doubled.
