(Reroll results of ''Hybrid Terrain''.) IfΒ you roll two of the same terrain, the terrain is that single type, but has the Unusual Location trait and rolls for twice as many further traits as normal. Rather than double the number of traits, you may instead use the normal number of traits but select/roll up to half its traits from a different terrain type. '''Wasteland''': Frozen tundra, scorching sands, or many other things in between. Defined by being inimical to life, even native life. Wastelands are frequently found in regions of extreme heat or cold. You may add an additional copy of the Extreme Temperature trait after generating traits randomly. '''Mountain Range''': a chain of mountains, stretching across the landscape. Usually frost-capped peaks, but sometimes volcanic fissures. Useful for navigation. '''Plains''': grasslands, savannahs, stony plateaus, or other wide, flat expanses of land. Usually support some life, and sometimes a great deal of it. '''Swamp''': Abundance of water, not dangerous in itself but often hosting deadly disease and toxic creatures '''Waterways''': Whether large river, inland sea, or particularly interesting patch of ocean, this territory is all water. '''Forest''': an abundance of large-scale flora, and usually many other species, especially when tropical. Usually, but not always, trees.
