| - | Height is a value often applied to [[section|section]] borders within [[combat|combat]] [[scenario|scenarios]]. It is a somewhat abstract method of denoting the vertical distance between two sections at that crossing. | + | Height is a property applied to some [[section|section]] borders within [[combat|combat]] [[scenario|scenarios]] and some exits in [[exploration|exploration]] scenarios. It may also be a property applied to [[move|movement]]. |
| - | Any [[entity|entity]] may freely [[Move|Move]] across a section border with a Height value if the entity is moving in a downward direction. However, doing so results in falling, with the entity suffering #d4 damage where # is equivalent to the Height value crossed. | + | ==== Combat ==== |
| - | Some Move entries include a Height value in parentheses, such as Move 1 (Height 2). The Height value provided permits the entity to freely Move across section borders having a Height value equal to or less than the value in the Move entry. An entity that makes such a Move in a downward direction suffers no falling damage. If the Height value of the section border exceeds the Height value in the Move entry, subtract the two and use the resulting number as the # for falling damage. For instance, if an entity moves downward across a Height 3 section border with a Move 1 (Height 2) entry, the entity would suffer 1d4 falling damage. | + | Height in combat is a somewhat abstract method of denoting the vertical distance between two sections at that crossing. |

| An entity cannot Move upward if the Height value of the Move entry is less than the Height value of the section border. Move entries that lack Height values, including most base movement, is presumed to have a Height value of 0. | An entity cannot Move upward if the Height value of the Move entry is less than the Height value of the section border.

| - | In [[exploration|exploration]] scenarios, [[Climbing|Climbing]] [[Obstacles|Obstacles]] typically have Height values associated with them. This is used to determine the amount of falling damage sustained by an entity playing an [[Action|Action]] against the Obstacle if the Obstacle's [[Reaction|Reaction]] takes effect. When attempting to traverse downward, an entity may simply Move as if the Obstacle were not present, but suffers falling damage in the process. | + | In exploration scenarios, [[Climbing|Climbing]] [[Obstacle|Obstacles]] typically have Height values associated with them.
