== Environmental Hazards ==

Messos Myonel is host to a wide array of planetary dangers and hazards. Listed below are a few possible common hazards.

'''Mutable CR Environmental Hazards:'''  Allows a CR to be listed to the following environmental hazards without a set CR. Damage dealt by the hazard, as well as save and check DCs scale as noted below. While mostly uninteresting in themselves (make a save or check, maybe take damage, move on), these hazards are to allow extra options and increased difficulty for combat encounters. The CR generated by this is not particularly accurate, but it is a jumping-off point for DMs to get an idea with a listed framework of content and effects.

'''Damage Effect:'''  Hazards with a listed Damage Effect deal 1d6 of that type of damage per CR.

'''Check DC:'''  Hazards with a listed DC have a DC equal to 10 plus its CR.
