Dramatic Terrain
Texto
A meeting in an open field might have no terrain features, but such encounters tend to be less interesting than ones that take place in a more varied environment. Snowy forests, jagged cliffsides, and city rooftops under the waning light of the moon are all much more dramatic locales!
Keep in mind, however, that combat in Legend of the Five Rings is meant to be narrative and quick—the presence or absence of terrain features is more important than their exact positions down to the inch. They should generally be positioned such that they can be exploited by PCs and NPCs alike, to create scenes with many opportunities for clever ambushes and turnabouts using the battlefield itself.
