Plains

5d20x10 (525)

Man-sized targets are visible from a maximum of 1,000 yards

over flat plains. Larger creatures can spot and be spotted at

greater distances. Likewise creatures can spot and be spotted

at greater distances if they are on towers, high hills, and so on.

Increase the spotting distance in proportion to the increase

in height or elevation relative to a man (6'). EXAMPLE:

Adventurers encounter a 12' tall ettin in a light forest. The

base encounter distance is 5d8 yards, and the Judge rolls a 21,

yielding 21 yards. However, the ettin is double the height of a

man, so the encounter distance is doubled to 42 yards. If the

adventurers were standing on a 24' hill (four times the height

of a man), the encounter distance would multiply by (4+1) five

times, to 102 yards.

Dungeon Distances are always 2d6 x 10.
