Pit of Spores (1992 Card Set)

The pit of spores is a subterranean trap which often lies at the bottom of a slippery slope that characters must cross. A failed Dex check indicates that the victim has lost his or her footing and will slide down and into the spore trap. They will not take any falling damage (unless the DM makes the trap a pit), but the impact of their bodies upon the fungus beds will release the deadly spores into the air. The most common fungus used is the phycomid, which discharges an alkaline substance on victims, causing mushroomlike growths that inflict 1d4 + 4 points of damage per round. The growths spread throughout the host body, killing it in 1d4 + 4 turns and turning it into a new phycomid.
