Desert Environments

With its intense heat and shifting sands, the desert is a dangerous place even under the best conditions.
==Heat==
The blazing sun and scorching heat has been the end of many unwary explorers. Intense heat requires characters make an Endurance check (DC 10) every minute or suffer 1 point of Constitution damage. Truly extreme heat demands an Endurance check every round.
==Sand Dunes==
Created by the action of the wind, sand dunes function as hills that move. If the wind is strong and consistent, a sand dune can move several hundred feet in a week’s time. Sand dunes can cover several zones. They always have a gentle slope pointing in the direction of the prevailing wind and a steep slope on the leeward side. Use the rules for slopes in Mountain & Hill Terrain.
