Dungeon Tiles
Now in this section of the guide we shall discuss dungeon
tiles. These are essential to building dungeons.
Traps
Apple Trap
Turns a random item in your inventory into a Big Apple.
Slumber Trap
Causes the Pokemon that stepped on it to fall asleep.
Slow Trap
Causes the Pokemon that stepped on it to have their Speed
stat reduced by 3 for 2d4 turns.
Mud Trap
Causes the Pokemon that stepped on it to have their accuracy
reduced by 2 for 2d4 turns.
Pokemon Trap
Causes all items in the room to become Pokemon.
Stairs
Leads to the next floor of the dungeon, and if you are on the
last floor of the dungeon it causes you to exit the dungeon.
Warp Zone
Leads to the next floor of the dungeon, and if you are on the
last floor of the dungeon it causes you to exit the dungeon.
Wonder Tile
Resets your stats to their normal state, and cures all status
conditions.
Critical Fails
Critical fails are an alternate rule to the game. It is up to you
and your players as to whether you’d like to implement this
rule to your game.
Whenever a Pokemon rolls two 1’s on the 2d10 on an
attack roll they automatically miss, no matter their modifiers.
Hunger
Hunger is an alternate rule to the game. It is up to you and
your players as you whether you’d like to implement this rule
to your game.
Each player Pokemon when entering a dungeon starts with
a 100 in hunger. This decreases by 5 every 10 spaces they
travel. Upon reaching zero they lose 5 HP for each turn they
have a hunger of zero. This hunger can be restored by eating
berries or seeds which restore 10 hunger, apples that restore
25 hunger, and big apples which restore 50 hunger.
