Step Four: Obstacles

Battlefields are often littered with obstacles and obstructions. They provide cover, limit movement, and occasionally endanger the people fighting around them. The DM should arbitrarily scatter a handful of obstacles of his choice over the map. Obstacles include:

╖ Gulches, ravines, or ditches (any terrain except marsh or swamp)

╖ Boulders (hills, mountains, badlands)

╖ Rockfalls (hills, mountains, badlands)

╖ Deadfalls (forests, swamp)

╖ Fences, earthworks, or buildings (any civilized area)
