SandStorms

When the winds blow strongly there is always a chance of a Sand Storm. Sand Storms
on Athrakkus are powerful and deadly. Sand Storms have been known to swallow and

DC if at night.

Movement and Actions

Wind strength within a typical sandstorm will be 20 to 60 (2d3x10) miles per hour
and visibility is reduced to 10 to 60 (1d6x10) feet. Within areas unprotected from
the storm all ranged weapon attacks are at disadvantage; gas and vapors are
immediately dispersed; candles, torches, and similar unprotect flames are
extinguished; and protected flames, such as those of lanterns, will dance wildly
and have a 50% chance per minute of being blown out. Furthermore, each foot of
movement costs two feet of speed, and this penalty stacks with that for difficult
terrain, causing each foot of movement to cost three feet of speed for characters
exposed to both sandstorms and things like jagged lava fields.
For each hour or portion thereof that a character i
