Tunneling

Some species are able to tunnel through dirt and sand at ½ movement speed. Digging requires a full action to start the hole, once dug if your race is able to burrow. Burrowing through sand does not require an initial hole. 

Cave-ins

• Cave ins can happen in two ways

  • Someone on the surface stands above the tunnel and succeeds an SR 15 vigor roll, +5 per 5 feet deep the tunnel is. 

  • The character digging critically fails their roll to dig. 

• The digger must succeed an SR 15 Fortune roll or the cave begins to spread at a rate of 5 feet per turn in every direction.

• Each turn the digger makes an additional SR 15 Fortune roll to see if the cave-in continues to spread.  

  • The SR decreases by 2 for every 5ft away from the initial cave-in

• If a character is caught in a cave-in, they begin suffocating. After 1 rotation they can begin digging at ½ speed if they succeed an SR 15 Vigor roll.
