Burial

Buried creatures take minor bludgeoning damage each minute, and they potentially take minor cold damage if buried under an avalanche of snow. At the GM's discretion, creatures without a sufficient air pocket could also risk suffocation. A buried creature is restrained and usually can't free itself. Allies or bystanders can attempt to dig out a buried creature. Each creature digging clears roughly a 5-foot-by-5 foot square every 4 minutes with a successful Athletics check (or every 2 minutes on a critical success). Using shovels or other proper tools halves the time.
