Challenging Players: Environmental Effects


The MC has the responsibility of creating a challenging scenario for players and must keep it interesting. One method detailed in the MC Guide involves using environmental effects to add variety to the battlefield. For instance, a smoky or misty environment will affect a laser sight and cause a bloom effect, which negates the bonus provided by the laser sight and also highlights the location of the gun. Radiation, wind, darkness, ice, and fire are but of few of the other environmental effects that will have a notable impact upon combat scenarios, some of which will affect certain races more than others. For instance, Omuls take 1 additional point of damage from fire, but Reln suffer 1 less damage from radiation effects.
