Dreadstone Blight

November 2010·p. 83

THE SHORT VERSION

Dreadstone Blight can retain a sinister influence despite being ruined. Treating it as a Haunted Mansion produces spectral attacks nearby and makes its garrison fearsome; using its inscribed floor as a Magic Circle instead grants protection from spells without forcing the battle to revolve around occupying a building. The examples show how a single terrain model can support different tactical stories.
