About this model
A square stone pillar made of rough, mottled grey-green blocks. It is about 1.5 ft square and 7 ft tall, standing in a single square. The blocks are rough and stained, with a damp green tinge.
Use pillars to hold up dungeon halls, crypts and underground temples. They give full cover and break up line of sight. Several pillars make a room feel ancient. Space them evenly through a long hall to break up an open floor. They give archers and spellcasters somewhere to duck between turns. A row of pillars in a dark crypt, lit by one torch, casts long real shadows across the floor.
Ideas for the table
- A skeleton hides behind a dungeon pillar, waiting to strike.
- Runes carved into the pillars glow when the party enters.
- A pillar collapses during the fight, bringing part of the ceiling down.
