Elevators

Elevators are common in space stations, large starships, and buildings. Typically an enclosed chamber or flat platform, elevators move up and down a vertical shaft via technology or magic at the push of a button or other simple command. Because a single elevator traverses each elevator shaft, creatures can hail an elevator with an Interact action but often must wait for the elevator to arrive. Depending on how large or busy a building is, creatures could have to wait up to a minute or two. Once aboard, a creature can select their destination floor with an Interact action. Prying open the door to an elevator shaft when the elevator isn't present or opening the ceiling hatch in an elevator car often requires 2 or more Interact actions to open. Often, the doors must be Forced Open or the hatch must be unlocked using Disable Device or Pick a Lock. Elevator shafts are equipped with ladders to ascend or descend. Creatures in an elevator shaft run the risk of falling or being crushed by an elevator car.
