Current (Rapids)

Notice

The following rules are from an out of date rule-set

A type of Terrain. Text from Welcome To The Jungle.

Description

These streams are nearly impossible to resist under normal circumstances. The good news is they are largely stationary, and can be avoided by those in the know. Mark out these currents on the ground in blue ribbon, shaped like an arrow pointing in the direction of the rapids and use the same colored ribbon to mark a “stopping point”. Any player who comes within five feet of these arrows is immediately swept toward the endpoint. They must move briskly toward the destination and may not be attacked in any way while moving. These streams may be set up in a series to relocate players to farflung areas of the playing field or into other encounters far from their comrades.
