Ars Magica Digital Codex

Fumes

The noxious fumes from a volcano affect anyone who comes within 15 paces of a crater or river of lava. This has two effects: the fumes are toxic, and the character cannot breathe due to the lack of safe air.

  • • The lack of air to breathe means that the character must make an air Deprivation check every 30 seconds (5 combat rounds); see ArM5, page 180.
  • • The toxicity of the vapors also poisons the character. Every diameter that the character remains within the vapor, make a Stamina check for him against an Ease Factor of 6. If this is failed, the character takes a Medium Wound.
