Many abilities and magical effects can create '''Surfaces'''. Each surface has a unique effect when the player's characters or NPCs step on it.
A '''Surface''' is a type of [[area]]. It is a flat layer of some type of substance that covers the ground, and has a unique effect when a creature steps on it. Many abilities and magical effects can create a surface, and they can sometimes be removed or converted into different surfaces with other elements or substances. The effects of surfaces can be avoided with abilities such as [[Fly]].


The player can [[Dip]] their weapon into Fire and Hellfire surfaces to receive [[Dipped in Fire (Condition)|Dipped in Fire]], and Simple Toxin surfaces to receive [[Dipped in Poison (Condition)|Dipped in Poison]].
== Types Of Surface ==


Ice, Lava and Web surfaces also impose [[Difficult Terrain (Condition)|Difficult Terrain]], which doubles the cost of moving while on the surface.
