Properties:

Sidescroll Mayhem: Dungeoneers may walk to squares of solid ground as normal, and target any adjacent square as normal. Dungeoneers have line of sight through solid ground, but not line of effect.

Jump Around: All creatures gain a fly speed of 4.

Undeniable Gravity: At the end of each turn, all creatures not on solid ground fall directly down and take falling damage as appropriate. Creatures who fall in Columns 1, 2, 14 & 15 take 100 falling damage. If a creature falls into an occupied square, all creatures in that square take an equal amount of falling damage. The falling cannot be reduced or negated in any way.

Escalating Returns: Conscious unbloodied creatures automatically succeed on saving throws to catch themselves from falling. Unconscious creatures automatically fail saving throws to catch themselves.

Melee attacks that hit and do damage also have the following effects based on the hit points of the target after the triggering attack is resolved:

Unbloodied: push 1

Bloodied: push 2

Dying: push 5

Death From Above: Melee attacks targeting creatures on a row below the attacker gain a +5 bonus to damage rolls.

Failure: A dungeoneer who rolls a natural 1 on an attack roll automatically falls prone. This cannot be negated in any way.

Special Items: On the Dungeon Master’s turn during odd-numbered rounds, a Special Item spawns randomly on one of 4 the crate icons. Unless described otherwise on the card, all Special Items are 5 lb. objects that do not require free hands to use. Dungeoneers who fall prone immediately drop all held Special Items. Special Items disappear when dropped.

During even-number rounds on the Dungeon Master’s turn rounds, a random terrain power activates. Each terrain has a new feature and a predominant terrain power that remains active until the end of the next round.
