Tornado

Requirements The PCs are in a hex that contains no significant hills or mountains.

Survival DC 27 (expert)

Preparation DC 35 Survival (master) to know how best to prepare for the tornado if no existing shelters are available.

Routine (1+ hours) When a tornado touches down, the funnel cloud can wreak amazing damage. While the area affected by a tornado is relatively limited, predicting where the tornado will travel during its brief, destructive lifetime is difficult. Underground chambers can provide shelter from tornadoes, but characters who seek shelter above ground are still in danger. Each hour that a tornado persists in the area, attempt a DC 16 flat check (for each PC sheltering above ground) or a DC 6 flat check (for each PC who isn't sheltered at all). On a success, that PC is exposed to the tornado's winds or its hurled debris and must attempt a DC 32 Reflex save.

Critical Success The character avoids the tornado and its debris.
